England's tour of India - 2021

[abhi_jacko]

Excellent stuff from Siraj

Stokes looks well settled now

Root: "England have no reason to fear the pitch or the Indian bowling, our own batting line-up however...."

Siraj is a Good Bowler.

"....... needs to show a better intent and approach. Just need to trust our defence"

Would be a reply of a good Captain who wants his team to perform irrespective of the conditions. His work should be to support the players and give them enough chances.

Probably is relevant to this current tour too given that he missed selection. I do think Hales needs to be in the side if he is putting up these insanely good numbers.

Ashwin is still wicketless. I think there was some stat somewhere that indicated that if Ashwin doesn't get a wicket in his first 10-12 overs or so, he largely stays ineffective during the entire innings. On the other hand, the becomes very potent if he picks up a wicket early on or something along the same lines.....England doing well to keep him off.

What about 4 others

Forgot this was going on after the excitement from last night.

What the hell. England have picked 8 batters.

And they're still struggling.

Someone tell our lot there's a difference between "aggressive" and "reckless"

Okay so I only just remembered the cricket was on this morning. Best check the scores and see how things are going...

Hmmm... England are batting first and nearly at 200. Promising if this isn't a road.

Some selection changes... Lawrence in, Bess in. That's good I guess. In place of... Broad and Archer. Makes some sense. But - and this is a big but - WHY THE fearsome tweak ARE BAIRSTOW AND POPE STILL IN THE SIDE? I guess a couple of 20s is a plus, but I'm entirely unconvinced that shifting Ben Foakes to eight was the answer to this

Siraj has been a great find for India.

It's the selection of a team that has no idea what the best XI is and has sent home its two best all rounders (aside from Stokes).

Tbf, Jack Leach appears to have one of England's best techniques against spin
