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

[flibbertyjibber]

So the key time will be after drinks in the morning when the ball should start reversing and Stokes come on to bowl. If the ball does go then India may struggle to score quickly and Stokes, Broad and Woakes will take an end for most of the rest of the day between them and have a degree of control. Just need the pitch to start playing up sooner rather than later to give us a good chance to push for victory.

so funny to me that gatuam gambhir is playing international cricket again

Where does the guy rank amongst his peers? I feel like it's somewhere between say Alviro and Rogers.

Gotta say, I knew Stokes was big, but with his technique I thought a subcontinental hundred would have been a bridge too far (chances aside). Gonna be scarily good in years to come.

Why did we have to get Mitch ****ing Marsh?

Were you the one claiming Root would never score a hundred in Asia?

He was no. 1 in ICC rankings, don't forget.

 

[MW1304]

I take it there's no highlights outside of Sky for this series?

I'm easily the most underrated poster on CW imo.

Would be a lot higher if I could come up with decent nicknames.

 

[91Jmay]

All three are a solid middle order, somewhere in between Dravid/Tendo/VVS and Pujara/Kohli/Rahane in terms of quality posting.

Love how ***** has been completely excluded.

Ok I'll be Ganguly then.

I think a rare match like this one is still possible.

Some turn for Ali and Rashid towards the end, so England must hope if they can get a couple of wickets during the first session they are in with a decent chance. There's likely to be some reverse swing in the afternoon. Draw probably favorite but England need a big push in the morning.

Wait until Kohli has a waah about the pitch after the game at a press conference. Those stats will change quickly.

He got bunsens in 2012 and still bowled like a drain.

Typical minnow basher.

Well he is a Bangladesh boy so can't claim another.

Be like supporting Man Utd and Liverpool. No jokes about Liverpool being Bangladesh level please.

Well not going to say he is a total minnow basher yet as it may come back to bite us in the ass but he was poor last time we toured and despite being the pick of the spin bowlers here he rarely threatened. We do seem to play him very well which is funny given we are regarded as a poor side versus spin.

 

[weldone]

No jokes about Bangladesh please, because they beat us in all formats these days.

ok
