*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Spark]

I wish it was that simple. Any idea evidence of any sort of strategy behind our test team would be welcome.but really the causes for yet another debacle are far more ingrained.

yeah if we're being historically precise, england's batting resembled a jenga tower built with bars of soap well before they miraculously became supreme at smashing huge scores in odis

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Called it

Because of his pervert look?

He was better with his long hair tbf

 

[Daemon]

Should Sam Curran open the batting?

 

[harsh.ag]

Curran is 1/4th this side, you quirky Edgbaston

 

[Pratters]

Umesh has still not bowled. It's a strong message. You need to perform to be part of the XI, don:t take things for granted.

 

[Spark]

wow that bairstow stance looks very much like the hilariously bad pre-recall bairstow

Goodbye guys, I've decided to go on a honeymoon and make Harsh.AG my wife

I don't see the point of having either Jos or Malan in the team TBH. Get Moeen back in the team for Jos for his batting at the very least, let alone his troll bowling of India, and get Pope in for Malan, figure out how to have Root batting at 4 again.

Shami's run up looks a lot less labored these days. He used to take huge strides for someone of his height and it looked like a proper struggle for him to reach the crease.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Wouldn't surprise me if one of, if not both Malan and Buttler play all 5 test.

 

[Spark]

Given the shaky Indian lineup and the possibility of a Broad comeback after the 1st innings direness, I'd say yes

i guess it shows how much attention i've been paying to this test (which is a shame tbh) but i legit was not entirely sure if broad was playing until you posted this

 

[R!TTER]

Drop Dhawan. Lokesh moves up a spot. ChePu in. Kuldeeep over Umesh perhaps.

Pandya being the third seamer

I'd rather have Jadeja if the pitches are as dry as this, instead of Pandya with 3 main seamers playing.

 

[Gnske]

Wouldn't surprise me if one of, if not both Malan and Buttler play all 5 test.

Buttler I can see, because of how he's been crammed in.

Malan and Jennings seem the natural starting point to clean house.

Spark, I have wedding dress for you, do you prefer white, off white, ivory or beige, you bitch

I think he's finally caved in lads.

The **** are you on about

Not been around much the last 3 months. Are all 3,000 of your posts as ****ing dire as the ones in this thread over the last hour?

Safe assumption.

These two are both proper batsmen, but it feels like Ishant and Shami are in 'blast the tail out mode' and trying too many things. I'm seeing a few too many bouncers and freebies on leg stump atm.
