atherton and stewart would both start in the current xiTold you guys, underestimate England at your own risk. This is not Atherton, Stewart, Irani, Ealham side who are just spectators and crib about pitch being too slow, the current England side are here to win and they made it clear today.
Now wear that badge of 227 run loss or pay teen guna lagaan.

Whatever it takes!!!
Wasn't Stewart famously not good against spin though? Him and Robin Smith, I think?

Bit of a misrepresentation imo. More accurate to say he was famously not good against Warne.

I don't think so. There was no need to slog or declare. The idea was to take the possibility of loss out of the equation and then watch how the aggressive-minded Indian batsmen bat for 100+ overs when they are told they can't win. Turned out to be exactly how I thought it would.

We will have to agree to disagree here. I think you cannot always depend on an Anderson super-spell and giving India less overs to play out may well have played into our hands. You could see the game was very different when Gill and Virat were going. I understand batting on in the first innings and I understand batting till you are bowled out in the second, but the pace of scoring for those 15 overs or so made no sense.

I guess him keeping and batting lower down did not help but always felt he played with hard hands which is usually trouble in the SC.
Nah, both would nick either Nadeem or Ashwin dispassionately, only to whine later how the pitch is not of international standards because of low bounce.
I do agree with @weldone, England's strength is attritional cricket.

There's something about him doesn't it?
Him and Shaun Marsh are the best young players to lookout to

Mad to think he'd be 2nd highest scorer if it wasn't for the fact they wasted his talent as an opener to make him keep wicket.

Bro you're living in a fantasy land if you think any Australians are happy seeing England winningThe best part is to see salty Aussie fans come in and enjoy when India are beaten. Given all the gyaan Burgey used to dish out about fans being like that when Australia lost, this is actually fun.Will be more fun at the end of the series too.

He was far better than Smith and Lamb were against it. Wasn't like we had many that were good until Thorpe came along anyway.

That is the fun part, you can't even be fully happy even though you are over the moon about India losing.
