*Official* India Tour of England 2018

This Moeen Ali is going to take a 10-fer. Now I've seen everything.

hear, hear

 

[ankitj]

Moeen for man of the match.

Ashwin should be dropped.

 

[chicane]

I hope Shaw and Jadeja replace Dhawan and Ashwin next game. If Bhuvi's back, who will they drop?

 

[Arachnodouche]

^Pandya. Bhuvi's a more reliable bat and obv a far better bowler.

 

[Prince EWS]

If Bhuvi's back, who will they drop?

They probably won't play him regardless. Kohli's always jumped at any excuse not to select Bhuvi.

If Bhuvi's back I'd play 4 quicks and Jadeja. Pandya's doing sfa with the bat anyways so this actually strengthens the batting.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bahahaha that would've been an amazing way to end it.

I'm half convinced he and Shastri intentionally sabotaged Bhuvi's fitness by playing him in the ODIs

Yeah but he's also taken a match winning 5fer and is in the overall highest run and wicket tallies. On the other hand the other seamers have all bowled well. Bhuvi has to come in for one of them, but it will be a bit harsh on whoever it is.

He has more runs than a number of the top 7 on both sides.

 

[harsh.ag]

I hate this team.

 

[SeamUp]

King Moeen in England

 

[OverratedSanity]

Look at this fat **** trying to save his spot by scoring some useless runs when the game's done and dusted.

 

[Alex0paul]

Another quick 30 runs here

How many times have you called him a fat **** this game?

 

[vcs]

This series is very reminiscent of Ashes 2013. Smashed us at Lords, and won two Tests by winning all the key moments.

 

[Niall]

I'm half convinced he and Shastri intentionally sabotaged Bhuvi's fitness by playing him in the ODIs

Lets just recap...

Picked a half fit Bhuvi in an ODI when they had alternatives
Only picked one spinner in 1st test where a second spinner would have caused damage
Picked Kuldeep in the second test where a second spinner was not needed
And

Picked Ashwin who has either lied about his fitness or India's superb selectors have decided to wing it with him. They also sent home a spinner last week ffs.

Not bad at all
.
Although obviously England not playing Ali until now is pretty dire also.

 

[SeamUp]

Psychological edge. Get lead under 50.

I give the selectors a pass this time based solely on the extremely low bar they set in South Africa
