***Official*** India in England 2014

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
It was discussed in the thread yesterday. Or maybe Thursday. Involved Shri posting delightfully.

Is it just me or does Strauss have a very slight speech impediment?
It's you.

English sounds like that when it's pronounced correctly.

Seriously just drop Cook for Lyth already.
I might be coming round to the idea of a specialist captain, tbh.

I wouldn't be dropping Cook the batsman just yet, but his captaincy is surely having the last rites read.

As others have suggested, with Prior's woes ongoing (and I think his injury toll is at least partially responsible for both his keeping travails and his sudden weakness against anything short) Foster as a specialist keeper/captain stopgap might not be the worst idea. Root the only serious option and not convinced he's ready. Looks a very young 23yo, unlike Fat Gray who was born middle aged and burly.


Good first over from Jimmeh.

If anyone's counting, Vijay had to play at 2 balls in that first over.

EDIT
I'm in a minority of one with that one. :laugh:

When the rest of the match is rained off I want everybody to remember that it's Jono's fault

The worry is that if we get a storm today that could be it for the day but tomorrow looks ok now after being down for rain earlier in the week. Moday is supposed to be good.

Specialist English captain?

That has to be the greatest heap of **** I have ever heard
Praise from Caesar.

Well, we could ruin Root or continue to grind Cook into the ground whilst turning a blind eye to Prior's ongoing horrorshow, I suppose.
