England tour of India (5 Tests)

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

I have recovered from this loss, I feel we should keep putting out great pitches as Hyderabad. That should be the standard in India and else where. You have something for everyone. Kudos to the curators. I hope we dont dish out rank turners just to win the remaining games now that we have lost the first one.

It was a great pitch and we have only ourselves to blame for not putting the game to bed after that first innings.

I blame Jadeja lol.

I blame Jadeja lol.

With the massive 1st innigns lead we had, I'd go to the extent of blaming the bowlers+Rohit for letting England get away. Scoring 200+ in the last innings in India is always very challenging.

Okay so Jack Leach has been officially ruled out of the second Test. Time to play the selection guessing game I guess!

I'm going to go for:
1. Zak Crawley
2. Ben Duckett
3. Ollie Pope
4. Joseph Rootalitharan
5. Jonny Bairstow
6. Ben Stokes
7. Dan Lawrence
8. Ben Foakes
9. Tom Hartley
10. Ollie Robinson
11. Shoaib Bashir

Dropping Rehan doesn't seem very Bazball at all, but it sounds like they want to get both Lawrence and Bashir into the side and dropping Rehan seems like the only way to do that. As always, I have no idea what's going to happen next, but that doesn't stop me having a guess

Think I'd rather have a leg spinner than three off spinners

On the one hand I agree. On the other hand, Shoaib Bashir apparently has a very high release point.

On the other hand, the highest average release point for an England international spin bowler a is 2.40 metres by Ollie Robinson

He also bowls his offies wearing reflective shades, which is well known for lowering a spinner's bowling average by five runs

Robinson didn't want it enough

Robinson didn't want it enough

He needed the shades. Everyone knows that no shades mean no vibes.

Also, two members of the bowling attack weren't born yet when Jimmy took his ODI hat-trick.

Virgin BCCI “must average over 50 in FC, have a successful IPL and India A record” selection versus Chad ECB “look good on the social media clip and be tall” selection.
