***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Burgey]

Omg this training might break for lunch at 1 instead of 12:30. Im going to miss everything.

Im sitting in the front too so its gonna look so bad if i have my phone open on cricbuzz when we resume now.

Heh. You even sparked the wrong thread.

 

[cnerd123]

Ahh ffs and I just called Daemon out for Spark-ing yesterday.

Today just hasnt been my day zzz

Or Bangladesh's.

**** me I've just seen the schedule for the test matches. 5 tests in 6 weeks........all of them back to back, the number of off days between each test are; 3, 4, 7 and 3.

That is seriously brutal.........are we trying to kills these players??

 

[flibbertyjibber]

They wanted christmas at home I think so they had to do it this way. Is a ridiculous schedule and I think we will play 3 pacemen and 3 spinners all the way through to limit the workload of the bowlers but you wonder how someone like Stokes will cope with the amount he will have to do to keep us competitive.

Yeah It is stupid.

 

[honestbharani]

Only 2 results Jono in 5 games? Are they playing in bad weather areas or something?

It is the monsoon season in Chennai. We had unprecedented levels of flooding same time last year..

 

[Shady Slim]

i'll say it's india 2-1 even though they play comprehensively better than the scoreline suggests

 

[marc71178]

England will be lucky to win one game. We don't have a spinner worthy of the name.

 

[Furball]

Jimmeh will return and bowl us to victory with some slow left arm stuff.

Hopefully, two test sides we can afford to lose really.

But at least there's no single day/two day turnovers like I think we've had in recent times (unless i'm dreaming)

 

[harsh.ag]

There is a week off between the third and fourth tests. That's good.

The short turn around works massively in India's favour. Not enough time for England bats to figure out how to play Ash and Jaddu. The English quicks are gonna be exhausted, which means more Adil Rashid. And lastly, the genetically weak western digestive tracks will ensure atleast a handful of Englishmen won't make it onto the field for the last couple of matches.

Its tracts, fam.

 

[Burgey]

If the England team has to spend that much time in India, which would be bad enough, why did they have to make it over Christmas too? Are they heading home for a break or do they have to stay there? If the latter, it will be the first time I've ever felt sorry for an England cricket team.

 

[Burgey]

Actually, I also felt sorry for the 1994-95 side because they were trash.

Nah they're coming home for Christmas then heading back out there in January for the ODIs.

Most of the 90s English test sides were trash, tbf.

 

[Burgey]

Thank goodness for that.
