*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Ashwin the top scorer in both innings now
Ashwin is a student of the game . He’s also a nice guy, a team player and likes to have fun. I think all these things make him a prime candidate to be a good batsman in these conditions . Woakes seems the sane minus the student of game part possibly. I do like Ashwin he’s a great player

Joint motm could be in order here. Difficult to separate Woakes and Anderson. I’d be inclined to favour Anderson with 9-43 (and not done yet ) I think

I dont think Hardik Pandya adds a lot in the test team you are better off playing a top batsman
He doesn't but we also don't have peak SRT or Dravid waiting in the wings. I think if all the tracks are like these then we need to do something totally radical - like open with Pandya and Ashwin, assuming Pandya plays all the tests. If it worked for Don why not India :laugh:

Woakes for me. Anderson did his job beautifully by getting the openers in both innings. But the match was shaped by Woakes' spell after the rain on Friday and his hundred.

Good for Woakes to get the last wicket. That might nick the motm. But very harsh on Anderson. At least ashwin made a fist of it

Tbh I’d give it to Anderson, 9-43 is ridiculous even vs 137* and 4-43. Tough one. I feel like they are more likely to give it to Woakes, it’s his debut ton and I wouldn’t argue with that

Maiden ton even (obviously

Anderson took 5-20 though before Woakes played that innings. I don’t mind who gets motm, I just think it’s very harsh on whoever doesn’t get it

Tbh Woakes should be on the new ball anyway in both innings, so would have picked up more wickets if it wasn’t for broad. Broad himself will get more wickets long term in these conditions if he gives away the new ball to Woakes I think and the team benefit

Gg India ... not a joke..those conditions were rough lol
