*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Pratters]

Quite annoying Cricinfo copies content from cricketweb. Not first time it had happened either.

 

[Shri]

Not that worried about this mini collapse. They have only 285 on the board. Will be happy with 250 odd at this point. Think we'll blow them out in the second innings tbh.

 

[Niall]

Its an over reaction maybe, but that shot was so bad from Rahul if he does nothing in the second innings, I could consider binning him. I think he had some loose dismissals in South Africa also.

 

[vcs]

If you're reading this cricinfo, you plagiarizing pricks, your GUI is **** and your content has gone down the drain over the last few years.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nice full toss to start. Bowled 'Rashy.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Uh oh, not Rashid to Rahane pls.

Yeah he was putrid in SA. Disappointing because he can clearly play but it looks like he's a casualty of Shastri's intent meme.

 

[Pratters]

We probably should have Karthik open.

 

[morgieb]

lol @ India killing it against Anderson and Broad but gifting wickets to Curran.

I do hope Curran can be successful though. Would be great to see a top-class bowler who's neither quick, tall or accurate but takes wickets through sheer skill/swing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

In the end I don't actually think it's a horrible start. Dhawan did much more than I expected.

Curran vs Abbas: who's the next McGrath
(I know he was fairly tall but still)

 

[Pratters]

Gavaskar and Sehwag. Two great openers in 37 years and not much else.

Haha I'm basically hoping for "what if james franklin but not disappointing" from Curran's career.

He swings it, but he sprays it.

I love it - but he'll be smashed away from a Dukes in Eng, WI or a swinging Kookie Safrica.

 

[Black_Warrior]

WTF India? 50/0 against Cloud brothers (Robelinda not me) and 3 wickets to Curran?FFS in 2014 India couldn't play Moeen Ali and now they can't play Curran.

 

[King Pietersen]

Looking forward to this Aggers-David Steele lunchtime interview

 

[Pratters]

Karthik
Vijay
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
Nair

 

[Black_Warrior]

If King Kohli can score 51 runs in the 1st innings, he will overcome his good friend Mohammad Amir's test average of 16.77 in England.

 

[Prince EWS]

In the end I don't actually think it's a horrible start. Dhawan did much more than I expected.

Yeah but Vijay and Rahul probably did less. I expected more than 50 runs from India's top three even though I didn't expect more than 6 from Dhawan.

 

[Shri]

After our last test win in England.
