*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Singh767]

I feel like I am dreaming, 40/4 ATVG lol.

F*** me this is the best seam bowling attack we have ever had by a country mile.

 

[Flem274*]

this is by a distance the worst english team since the turn of the millennium

early 2008 was done and dusted. on paper they look ok but vaughan, harmison, hoggard etc were toast

 

[Hicheal Michael]

abd.

only 1 100 in his last 16 tests. Hardly declined, though did miss a lot of test in the last few years mind.

Having Pant keeping to Bum and Hardik does make sense.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

tbf warner finished his career strongly enough, controversy aside.

It's great isn't it, our 5th bowler is quicker than anything they have

they weren't great but that top 6 of strauss, cook, vaughan, pietersen, bell and collingwood against the current batting lineup?

Ashwin quicker than Anderson?

 

[Starfighter]

Ashwin quicker than Anderson?

Not much slower.

 

[Daemon]

Shami always looks twice the bowler over the wicket

 

[Shri]

Got a girl's number just as the 4th wicket fell. Wtf I like Cook now.

Haha!
Should I feel guilty about not supporting England? Im born and bred in England, but nothing satisfies me more than beating them .
Normally every year after a good win Botham and the crew talk about how England are going to dominate for years, have not heard that this year ...

It feels like the Duke ball never really stops swinging. It's kind of nice, but the theory of "see off the early movement and then cash in later" doesn't really hold, does it?

 

[Black_Warrior]

I have been saying from the beginning of India's away season (before the South Africa series) that India should beat England this year and if they don't they have only themselves to blame. The fact that they are 2 down in this series is a result of their own poor strategies and mismanagement. Proper warm ups and player management (Bhuvi) would have seen better results in the first two Tests.

P.s where is that dude that said Umesh is better than Bumrah

Actually solidly laying some bat to it helps stop it swinging.

Banned for being vile.

It does not because it stops swinging but because you learn to adapt better and start getting used to the movement. That's pretty much been Pakistan's mantra in England in both the their last 2 tours. Take time early on, get beaten, edged, dropped but somehow survive and then they start playing shots against the same balls that they were poking earlier.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bumrah back into the attack already? Jeez Kohli calm down.

 

[harsh.ag]

Damn it Pant!
