***Official*** India in England 2014

I'm not sure many are saying that ATM, quite the opposite, I should say I did talk about whole-sale changes, at 3-0 down in Australia and most thought I was over-reacting. Yet we looked shot then and have continued to do so. I did think we should keep with Cook because I didn't see any other options, yet we're past that now.

Oh and if Hales plays Tests I'll cry.


Ha ha !!:laugh:

Hahahaha. I feel bad for ishant. Everyone in the world has been telling him how **** he is because he can't figure out the right length so the poor guy has been trying.....and then his captain is like "bowl short". I'm shocked he didn't start crying.
Tbh, he had the grace to look absolutely smoking stunned when he was getting those wickets :laugh:

Would hate to be an England selector now. Do you make wholesale changes, signalling panic and desperation and basically admitting that selecting Cook/Prior/etc was a mistake...or do you try to show strength and support your players and stay unchanged, while appearing stubborn and ignorant?

You take the captaincy from Cook, drop Prior, install Foster as keeper and captain.

You tell Cook to concentrate on his batting. Tell the bowlers to listen to Foster and ****ing bowl well or they'll be dropped. Tell Bell to bat better or he'll be dropped.

Should be said, that delivery to Moeen was pretty good. Was definitely the Moment of the match in a way. He carried on bowling to a plan after that and good on him, but none of those deliveries earnt him a wicket IMHO.

Ishant humiliated England to the point where Steven Gerrard had to announce his retirement

What a performance so proud!
Batting: Vijay, Rahane Kumar and Jadeja great performance

Bowling: Kumar and Sharma GREAT performance

England asked for green wicket and Kumar and Sharma really stepped up. Now India have only 2nd test win at Lords ever on the greenest wicket bob willis and Hussain said they have ever seen at Lords

Prepare a green wicket they said...Green wicket = India won ! haha

Damn yeah. I don't remember Sabina though?
How dare you v2!

Last match of 2006 series on a horrendous minefield tailor made for Taylor (heh)... Fifty in both innings when no one fro either side could hold a bat properly. Captain. Won match. Won series.

His best moment imo

how come you guys talk about foster and not read
I'm really going with the consensus, I wouldn't mind Read. Blimey I wouldn't mind anyone that could catch the ball, which definitely doesn't mean Bairstow. Mark Wallace would be fine for me.

Yeah it's scary though because we played really well for our standards and England played pretty ****ing poorly. If they get their **** together they could very well pull it back.
England had all the luck in this match though, especially with the toss.
