I'd still take it to get laid if I was a bee.

Probably worth it because all the surviving men are driven away from the hive when winter arrives. Then they starve to death.

Don't get why everyone is picking such high numbers. Ashwin will get rested when India go 3-0 Broad style.

You haven't responded to my avatar bet.

I'm allowing for that #pessimism

My thinking exactly.

Well actually mine was that we normally play the main spinner quite well and **** up against the lesser lights so Jadeja will no doubt get more wickets than Ashwin and that Ashwin may be rested for a game once the series is won.

There's no way playing Bangladesh first has helped India's cause. We've already seen Duckett successfully try his best to adapt to alien conditions, we know Hameed is a good batsman and is likely to debut at some point, Ballance has just played his last Test, Finn won't be playing bar injury, Stokes has even more experience with reverse now and the list just goes on.

Yeah...Cook and Root will kill it with the bat and Stokes, Woakes and Bairstow will run us over after that start and Broad, Stokes and Ali will bowl us out easily. Its just set up for us to lose IMO.

 

[weldone]

Is Gambhiring allowed if Gambhir plays?

 

[honestbharani]

Its recommended when he plays, tbh.

Na, beamers are though.

I'll got for 14.

All of which he'll take in the first Test before breaking a rib in the team debrief when he's shown footage of Gary Ballance getting out in the 2nd innings and starts laughing uncontrollably. This will rule him out for the rest of the series, England will win 4-1 and Ashwin will get tonked in 2018's revenge series.

[Niall]

The question should be.....

Will we have a much needed mankading this series? I don't even mind which format it happens

 

[listento_me]

Ashwin will get between 20-25 wickets.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Ashwin's series wicket haul sweepstakes:

***** - 42

And you guys had a problem when I said he was going to have 300 by the end of the season. I actually estimated 30 for the England series and 50 for the Aus/BD series.

 

[Burgey]

Three. All caught on the deep midiwcket boundary when the score is 450+
