***Official*** India in England 2014

I think we have a tendency on CW to overreact to individual sessions.
The ball might start reversing mid way through the next session and we might run through them and have them all out by stumps. Still wont change the fact that it is just not good to see such a dry, slow low wicket on day 1 of a test match in England.

Lol. Everything about English cricket is ****house right now.

Next time an England cricket fan wahhhs about subcontinent pitches I will rub this in their face.

Woeful pitch. Such a shame too because I love watching cricket at Trent Bridge on TV since I was there in 2011.

Called the reverse after Lunch. Catch at silly mid on of Anderson is pretty bad for the narrative though.

Late to the discussion but picking Jadeja over Ashwin in Tests (even if it's an away tour) screams of Dhoni's favortism.. Ashwin is clearly a better bowler and batsman, India need to persist with him so he learns to bowl better when there is no assistance in the pitch. Jadeja will never be that guy in Tests.
What are you on about? Did you not watch the last series India played?

The narrative that Anderson sucks or the narrative that the pitch is a slow, low pudding? Because one of those is true and one most definitely is not.

Ashwin's taken something like seven wickets outside India IIRC

I reckon that is very possible too, but lets face it.....this is a wicket you'd more commonly find in India than England. WTF are we doing presenting them with something like this??
Absolutely. Which is one reason why I think they'll outperform us on it. But yes, it's astonishing that we come up with these sort of strips.

Anyway, fabulous catch from Bell by all accounts, so let's see if that kick starts something.
