Stokes would. I'm not sure if it can actually be done, but I have no doubt he'd see the situation and allow India to replace Ashwin, if it were able to be done within the rules.Terrible news for Ashwin. What a rollercoaster for the man.
Stokes should absolutely allow a replacement to come in. No idea what the rules are but it would feel very strange winning because of this.
Nah its pretty even at present. Even with 10 players India can still win this.Jesus, we are absolutely ****ed.
will it even be an official test match if that happens?I think if he has to be replaced it will be Washy. But its a moot point as I dunno if they will let it happen. Best wishes and prayers with Ash and his family. Hope things can turn out ok.
Anyways this game is done now, IMO. Congrats England.
This is peak Gambhiring from the country who invented it. You have two frontline spinners in the team still, nigh on the best seamer in the world, you're still in front by 220 and you're bowling last.Jesus, we are absolutely ****ed.
Are you stupidThis is peak Gambhiring
Gambhiring is stupid.Are you stupid
Yeah the difference with the concussion subs (and covid subs when that was relevant) is that the rules actually ban those players from choosing to play on. If you're gonna kick a player out mid-game, possibly against his wishes and when he hasn't actually done anything wrong, you probably have to allow a replacement.India never allowed a replacement for Bavuma when his hammy went pop so why should we allow one now? It's tragic but it happens.
