*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Borges]

After the first two tests, this wicket is quite a let down; especially after all the hoo-ha that people had made about it.

 

[Borges]

Adil Rashid is getting better with every over that he bowls. Though he still bowls one poor ball per over.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Well maybe there was space for Curran only a medium pacer but he'll get stuck in.

I would have played Curran. I would have played an unchanged side and let the dust settle on the Stokes business.

I would have too but once they called him up he was always going to play.

Very true but they seem to always go with the celebrity star than the rookie... Who may have added something but definitely wants to prove himself.

 

[TestMatch]

This feels like a Kohli double century, Rahane a century, Ashwin a 50, kind of game.

And you'd have been right. Stokes not match fit after spending a week and a bit in court. Four RMF bowlers different versions of the same thing if a couple of the batsmen actually get in. The decision to bowl first isn't looking too clever, either.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I didn't see the urgency to rush Stokes in to be honest.

I didn't see the urgency to rush Stokes in to be honest.

He bowled a match winning spell in his previous game. Bringing him back was a complete no brainer.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane looking pretty good, just hope he doesn't lob one back to Rashid.

 

[S.Kennedy]

He bowled a match winning spell in his previous game. Bringing him back was a complete no brainer.

And Curran alone won the 1st test and played well in the 2nd.

 

[fredfertang]

I don't care if we get bowled out for 10 today. First genuinely good night in a lonh time as far as women go.

Have you still got your wallet?

 

[OverratedSanity]

And Curran alone won the 1st test and played well in the 2nd.

I would've probably played him too instead of Rashid tbh, my disdain for the 5 pacer combination aside.

 

[fredfertang]

I'd have given Stokes Jennings' place - he couldn't do any worse, and at least Lancs would get Jennings for tomorrow and Surrey wouldn't have Curran

CC match? I'll settle for Sam being available for that one.

 

[Prince EWS]

Dead to me.

You just reminded me that Durham are down at Glamorgan tomorrow.

 

[Borges]

The debutant Rishabh Pant is one lucky guy; couldn't have asked for an easier wicket to bat on, or to keep on. Cry, Karthik, cry!

 

[Borges]

Yeah, try and bounce him out; the best chance to get a wicket here.

 

[trundler]

True.

Others were saying that it couldn't get tougher than this debuting against Broad and Anderson at Trent Bridge.
