Even then it wouldn't make sense.

it makes sense if you dont want him crocked again

No one seems to quite know what this pitch is though. England have hedged their bets. If you're going to rest him, then this Test probably makes sense, but he didn't exactly bowl a lot last week...

Best time to do that so that he can recover during the IPL.

Accuweather are usually wrong compared to met office in UK. Not sure how well they predict other countries weather.
Weirdly you have two completely different forecasts for Dharamsala on accuweathers site.
This one in mid teens in March. Currently 8 degrees

Then this one 20 odd degrees in March. Currently 18 degrees.

Met office has it -1 currently
Dharamsala - BBC Weather
Every website I've checked is different
Does anyone actually know if Dharamsala is a real place or actually has a climate?We are perfectly setup for an angry Bairstow hundred.Bairstow still in the XI.
Admittedly I did predict this several times during the World Cup.

Bumrah is not a machine , keep your resources healthy and fresh ..
Australia made the mistake of playing Cummins every game in Ashes and he wasn't as effective towards the back end
There's obviously alot of speculation about the pitch.
The best games are were the pitch provides a fair contest between bat and bowl.
Pitches were 200 is a very good score are no use as equally is one were 550 plays 525.
I don't care where the pitch is - Nottingham, Sydney or Ranchi - but it needs to provide a fair contest for all.

The pitch for the last test was excellent.
It did a bit on the first morning, then was good to bat on for a couple of days and then slowly started to deteriorate.

Hope we win the toss and bat. Boring watching Jaiswal smash us everywhere.

Looks like Bairstow will have his 99th and then 100th test to try and score some runs before returning to an English summer and be faced with competition from Brook for his place.Bairstow still in the XI.

Indeed - don't think this will turn much, let alone square. From the testimonies of Pope and Stokes you'd think it was a minefield though lol.
