For the finals at Lord's my pace attack would be Bumrah/Ishant/Sirajwonder if shami won't play the wtc final given how he'll be out of fc match practice
siraj is a nice enough replacement i guess

I wonder how often Hadlee would have won it if they did that sort of thing in his day.ashwin MotS
eighth time in his career
only kallis and murali have won the award more times
kallis 9 times
murali 11 times

shardul is a good bet for English conditions imo, we could do a lot worse than him especially since Bhuvi seems to be a non-entity nowadays.think gill shouldn't play in the wtc final

No. This was also a close series and England competed well.I think he's making the point that the scorelines don't tell you that one was a close series and the other was not.
???Bit odd how England didn't select Stone for this match. Sure, in the overall context of the game it probably wouldn't have mattered, but he bowled really really well in the 2nd test and definitely deserved selection here.
Typifies England's muddled thinking to this series tbh. Overthinking certain selections
I don't know how this could be worked out, but this has to be done. Imagine the WTC final being a draw or something? It'll look stupid.Should make WTC Finals timeless Tests
They will look at the stats and decide.After this series defeat will England have an inquiry like the one after they lost the 2006 Ashes? I want to see plans outlined.
Thank you. Maybe it just slipped through my radar, but I genuinely don't remember MOTS awards in the late 1970s and early 1980s, hence my comment. It would be interesting to know in which series Hadlee won that award.All-round records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

hadlee has won it eight times
To be fair, you did. The issue for England has been that every time you have done something, it has been a great who has done something great. Crawley's 50 aside and maybe Leach's consistency and Bess in the first innings in Chennai, but other gains have been limited. Lawrence seemed good today, but is he really the one you see batting at 3? You just seem to have a bunch of #4-#9s running around, and yet without a good top 3, you are always prone to pretty bad losses.I find this one frustrating because its a game we could have made something of
So you are not Gavaskar. You were Bewda all along.Scoreline line of current and last IND -ENG series doesn't indicate how close both the series were.
