Reckon Nostrils would have done well in these conditions. Is he in the squad/ fit?

They left him out of the squad entirely for no discernible reason. Was madness tbh.

I'm going to look like an idiot no doubt but who're you two talking about?

True, but I think people look at it the wrong way. It's a technical flaw rather than him just giving it away.

I was against Bell batting at 3 for this very reason e.g. anyone that saw his innings in the last Ashes test would have to have concerns about his technique against the new rock

yay lead

The other day I heard 'Moeen' sang to the tune of 'Joleyne' and now I can't stop

Got those massive nostrils. Will never require altitude training for aerobic fitness. There's plenty of air getting into those lungs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So we finally lead. Get to lunch no worse than 6 down and we are looking at a good lead here. Be interesting to see if heads go down if we get a partnership going.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yadav

of course.

 

[grecian]

I really, really, really wanted that to happen, Jolene for us pedants. So glad it has.

 

[Howe_zat]

do my best for you

 

[grecian]

This pitch honestly looks like it could be pretty lethal for spin. Sharp turn and bounce. Let's just not bother bowling Jordan and Woakes and just have Jimmeh and Stuey in tandem with the Beard.

 

[Cevno]

FFS good delivery that.

 

[Howe_zat]

The Baron has impressed me quite a bit tbh. Got a bit of spice

 

[Stapel]

Headers count double, should be 8 runs.

 

[91Jmay]

Moeen gets bogged down against spin to easily for my liking. Bit block or slog.

 

[Cevno]

Not carrying urgh.

 

[Cevno]

Dhoni continously preferring Ashwin to Sir Jadeja right now.

Hmmmm....or he thinks Moeen Ali is struggling against him.

 

[Jassy]

Johnson and Rhino vs Moeen Ali and Root will be hilarious to watch. I think Raina is better than Moeen at playing short balls. Seriously!

 

[Howe_zat]

Not a good day at all for Moeen.

Bit worried now.

 

[Jassy]

Wow Varun! Come on India.

 

[Cevno]

That's Brilliant from Aaron.

Wow.

Ali was done in totally expecting the short ball.
