They have to stop obsessing with Dharmshala so much. Yeah beautiful stadium, give them a couple of t20s in a year. No need to give high profile tests and world cup games. It's just not a hospitable location.

*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

We may well have been world cup champs for one...I think it will be Bumrah with KL as his deputy. And filling in whenever Bumrah is workload managed.
****ing accident of Pant just screwed up so much. I am happy he is ok after such a horrific accident but cant help but think what might have been had he just let a driver drive him that late in the night.

May as well get his breaks in now then, won't be getting them when he's skipper. Seems to work ok for Cummins though...although he had the option of skipping the IPL which Bumrah obviously won't.

Interesting, because the IMD's recorded data and predictions (which are backed by the weather models) predict lows in the single digits and high of around 20. Though the rain forecast is not promising for the following week.

Bet the fifth test gets moved at the last minute, just like last year! Pitch at Ranchi looks ominous from various media observations.
A cracked pitch is only any good if your spinners can hit the cracks.Looks like it's a case of win the toss, win the game.

Highs in the low teens seems still pretty damn cold to me (though more hospitable for the English than India). Fair bit of rain forecast too.

Yeah, because that worked out so well for India last year.

To be frank, the last two Tests on big turners (Ahmedabad and Indore) were won by the teams that lost the toss.

Yeah, it’s more of an advantage to win the toss on pitches that start flat and deteriorate.
Even that is often countered by assistance in the morning session, but if you get through that you get the upper hand.
Don’t really want a turner now that could bring England’s spinners into play.

These news headlines are sensationalism at its best.
I ****ing hate it. The unveiling of the pitch a few days prior to the start of the test. We don't have that **** over here in the West Indies.

Sounds like a pretty good way to build interest for an upcoming match to me. Maybe they should start.

Seriously, why is this a bad thing? Yes, media should find ways to generate public interest in a match. Sometimes that involves running stories about things people will be interested in.Pretty much
