*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Rashid has silenced the doubters. Top bowler. Performed excellently in the series. Captain has shown zero trust and confidence in him. Leg spin bowlers need a captain that believes in them. Root is the worst captain he could hope for. Top stuff from Rashid.
 
So rashid goes to sl then ? He's getting wickets when batsmen go after him just like he does in Lois.
He has to go. He’s had to stand like a lemon in the field at times waiting to bowl. I’d hate to have to wait as many overs as he does to get a chance. Rashid has done well under big pressure created by Root. I’d take Ali, Rashid and Leach to Sri Lanka. Great knocks from Rahul and Pant. Rahul in particular. Awesome knock

Took the new ball too late and I feel the field is still.not attacking enough. England have already failed to bowl out a team to win a test this year.

Been criminally underused given that there have been some decent pitches and spin is going to be vital on both the winter tours, should have bowled a lot more.

Another match that could potentially have been saved going down the drain with all that 'intent' garb of Kohli and Shastri.

No matter how many experts come out saying '3-1 or 4-1, what difference does it make', 'throw caution to the wind, go for the win', this is not the right way to develop the temperament of a rather young team for test cricket.

‘Throw caution to the wind’ probably isn’t miles away from ‘just go out and play your natural game’ in terms of idiotic advice, and by all accounts that’s been the England coaching mentality for the last few years.
