Bashir has the opportunity to become the fourth debutant spinner in a row to take a fivefer (Jacks, Rehan, Hartley).

The coaching that Stokes and McCullum put into the spinners is awesome.
Hartley 24, Ahmed 19, Bashir 20
What an exciting future for spin. And they are still learning. India are going to lose 5-0

If Ashwin had got injured instead of Jadeja, I think Anderson could've made a similar claim.

Leach would still likely be no.1 for a test played in England, yes but his round the world record isn't that great outside of Asia, and I think Joe Root has a better test match bowling average INSIDE Asia than him. Indeed Leach averages 32.09 in Asia to Root's 29.90. It is a bit disingenuous though as Leach has bowled a lot more overs than him there and Root's 5-6 on the last tour a significant factor in that.

Are you basing that on his action or his stage of career? I do think Hartley has demonstrated a bit of fight and willingness to learn.

Whatever it takes!!!
Man Bazball will be the greatest revolution in cricket since reverse swing, if they beat us 5-0 here after beating Pakistan 3-0 there. I am scared of this next test now. 
Innings defeat on the cards.

At least our gambhiring is based on what has occurred previously. More chance of yourselves and Pakistan becoming allies than England doing any of that.Man Bazball will be the greatest revolution in cricket since reverse swing, if they beat us 5-0 here after beating Pakistan 3-0 there. I am scared of this next test now.

Root is now the World's #4 Test allrounder (ahead of his captain) in the ICC rankings.

Is Stokes even an all rounder now?

Top 6 bat + GOAT captain. Probably counts.

His fielding and captaincy could be argued as a all round skillset in the loosest of terms.
But I'm not sure we see him bowl again anytime soon. So hard to call him one anymore.

Hey, that would be a very acceptable outcome, esp. if we both can kick your teams' asses in cricket. Its not exactly retaliation for the colonizing but it will do.

I reckon one of the only good things that the British Empire/colonial Britain did, was getting cricket spread to other countries.
The rest well we'd be in our pre 1st test chat conversations if we went there. Nobody wants that again

Dunno about that I certainly hold my dad to account. I mean he moaned about Alasdair Cook batting throughout his career.Nah I think its silly to hold a different generation accountable. We are good.
Just expected everyone to be Viv Richards. He had to watch Tavare and Boycott bat and he's bemoaning Cook, daft prick.
