*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[harsh.ag]

Ashwin's performance is one of the outcomes everyone is waiting to analyze.

Is there a word or phrase which can substitute for "something everyone is waiting to analyze"

Dhawan
Vijay
Rahul
Kohli
Rahane
Karthik
Pandya
Ashwin
Umesh
Ishat
Shami

Would be my XI, Jadeja for Shami if it’s dry.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sam Curran reminds me of a poor man's James Franklin

 

[rparikh14]

Dropping a guy that took 4/35 in their previous practice game (Umesh) would rank as one of the dumbest decisions under Kohli’s captaincy so far imo.

Tbh playing Dhawan in this match would not be far behind.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ishat

A thoroughly fitting nickname.

 

[harsh.ag]

"The Indian slip cordon taking catches in training today: Dhawan, Rahul, Kohli, Rahane"

Pujara could be out. Or Vijay could be out.

 

[Prince EWS]

"The Indian slip cordon taking catches in training today: Dhawan, Rahul, Kohli, Rahane"

Pujara could be out. Or Vijay could be out.

I already made that post. Gosh.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dropping a guy that took 4/35 in their previous practice game (Umesh) would rank as one of the dumbest decisions under Kohli’s captaincy so far imo.

Dropping Bhuvi after Capetown will never be topped. Even if they do something like dropping Vijay today or something.

Billy Slater?


Get your head out of your league.

 

[Shri]

Oh **** off. You didn't wantt o bowl first ****.

 

[harsh.ag]

Pujara's out!

"The management has assured me my place is secure". The poor bastard.

 

[rparikh14]

England batting first - really hope Indian bowlers do not mess up the new ball

 

[Shri]

Pujara's out.

All that FC cricket was for ****.

 

[Shri]

First away test for Umesh after all that hard work bowling in Indian tracks during the home stretch.

Pujara's out.

All that FC cricket was for ****.

It gave the selectors a good case to drop him. Almost feel a bit sorry for the guy. But it's also funny.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Damn feel for Pujara

 

[Starfighter]

It's not gonna be funny when Kuldeep sits out for him [Jadeja].

Nope, he'll sit out for Ashwin instead.

I must say all the hype about a dry pitch and two spinners that I've seen all over the net (except here really) looks hilarious in hindsight. All the talk about Kuldeep too, and he isn't even picked.

 

[cnerd123]

No Che Pu. Wonder if we'll see him at all this series.

Actually pleased with this XI tbh.
