That was gun from Yadav to Ali. Buttlers was a bit of a wtf though, there was a fielder there for that.

And the wife beater should be dropped for Kuldeep Yadav.

Pros of selecting Kuldeep:

Pujara wouldn't be the ugliest guy in the XI anymore
England would need time to adjust to a left arm leg spinner
KY Is not completely useless with the bat
In reasonable form as a bowler

Cons:

Also, lets focus on the pros. Our hideous little champ.

So Pandya nearly had a wicket and in the same over hit Dawson on the helmet. Looks like he's improved a lot.

Ali has been bowling pretty solidly in ODIs, pretty economically given the pitches usually prepared in England are very roady. His batting is a concern though.

Was wondering how much batting England have after these two and holy **** Willey has a List A 160?? We're not winning this one are we.

Is Nehra going to be the oldest quick ever to turn up for India if he plays?

Though after this performance a retirement is more likely

At t20 100 too. Although he's a weird one, has done nothing with the bat in internationals, in fact he regularly looks all at sea. Absurdly explosive when on song though.

How do we get Billings in the side for England. Anyone wanna take a stab. Be easy if Morgan wasn't there as captain.

Root is a problem too. Cos he's great. But every-time we rest him someone else does well and then it's like now how do we pick them both. Taylor/Duckett/Billings being the 3 most obvious examples.

Great to have options as this side is good now. Shame we've gone backwards in the test arena under Bayliss.

Morgan needs a big series or I'd be looking for a unified captain in Tests/ODIs.

Billings not playing ODIs feels very unfair though. Average of 47, best of 175 and SR of 111.

Won't Dhoni be captain on saturday in the other India A game.


God this is tiresome to listen to. He's not dead or retired yet.

Willey is pony unless he is up the order in my opinion. Needs hard ball and power plays to belt it. I also obviously wouldn't open him in international cricket as he'd get knocked over all the time. He is a bit like Chris Jordan. In theory a decent batsmen but flatters to deceive a lot.

Woakes got 95* which I think was the highest score ever for a number 8 in ODIs to draw the game against Sri Lanka + won the match in Bangladesh with a good knock. Duke of Kent can win this one on his own though.
