*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Silver Silva]

Wow Wood taken off after 2 overs

 

[BazBall21]

Selfless plus just natural with the way he plays.

Yes. Attacking batsmen always have less not outs and he's as selfless as they come.

 

[Ashes81]

Really tough baptism of fire for Hartley here.

I doubt he's bowled much if at all with the new ball, nevermind on his test debut in the SC.

This is what playing in India does to you - takes you completely out of your comfort zone.

 

[Silver Silva]

If only England had a bloke with close to 700 test wickets that knows how to use a new ball

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Didn't realise we had picked Simon Kerrigan II on this tour.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

If only England had a bloke with close to 700 test wickets that knows how to use a new ball

Or more than one spinner who has FC experience.

 

[RightArmMystery]

If only we had a left arm spinner with almost 300 FC wickets and 14 FC hundreds available

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Candy from kids this, as Richie would say

 

[Spark]

He seriously needs to go over the wicket and probably up his pace too. At least make the batsman hit consistently against the spin.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Or more than one spinner who has FC experience.

Well when you pick two of the lads on tour as spinners and most people have to Google them to know anything about them in first class cricket you know you are getting stuffed.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

If only we had a left arm spinner with almost 300 FC wickets and 14 FC hundreds available

Indeed, if only. If only.


...anyway enough of the pessimism. We've got India right where we want them here.

 

[social]

This attack is such a ridiculous selection

 

[Test fan]

Jaisball is dominating over bazball

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Or more than one spinner who has FC experience.

Why did Adil Rashid never get selected for red ball cricket? Whose wife did he bang

 

[mackembhoy]

If only we had a left arm spinner with almost 300 FC wickets and 14 FC hundreds available

Should have played in the Ashes. Made a rod for their own back, because the T20 leagues more profitable for him now, when he will be turfed out again after this series.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This attack is such a ridiculous selection

Yes but we'd lose anyway with whatever attack we picked.

 

[Jarquis]

Anyone volunteering to do LMS this series? I did it the last two times. So it will be nice if someone else can run it and I can play.

Why can't you do both?

 

[Starfighter]

Why did Adil Rashid never get selected for red ball cricket? Whose wife did he bang

He did play every now and again. Don't forget he wasn't that good in first class - 175 matches for an average of 35 and economy of 3.6.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Sticking with Hartley is a bold choice, this is brutal

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Why did Adil Rashid never get selected for red ball cricket? Whose wife did he bang

He did have a few cracks at it, but was behind Mo in the pecking order.

Hasn't been a red ball option for years though due to managing a shoulder(?) issue that restricts him to the shorter formats.
