India tour of England 2018

[zwarrior]

lol. It seems the trophy is broken into two. Hilarious.

cricinfo - "Right, Dobell tells me a presentation was being made to Colin Graves for England's 1000th Test...but he has dropped the trophy...it's broken in two..."

Wondering about the explanation for Pujara? Wonder what he's going through as well!

DROPPED



Just like all our overseas tours

First drop of the series? Not sure if it was catch-able but the perennial problem has raised its ugly head once again.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Spin inside the first 10 overs.

 

[Aalay]

Its also our most reliable close in catcher who has dropped the catch. Oh, how I have missed test cricket. Virat also has to watch out for over rate. Interesting move to get Ashwin in so early.

This will mean Pujara is destroyed as a cricketer, simple. This management can just go to hell, the captain and the coach both!

Yes Sir! That was beautifully bowled by Ash.

Quite lovely

I hope we won't regret not playing another spinner in this game

I was thinking the same. Pandya won't win you a game with bat or ball. I just don't see him making a 100 or taking 5 wickets!

Just thinking what explanation he must have been given-

 

[Villain]

That's a big wicket - Cook! Now only if we get Root out cheaply which'd be one hell of a task, we'd be golden. I somehow feel Ashwin will get more wickets here along with Ishant.

I would've definitely played Jadeja ahead of Pandya. People will say Kuldeep but I believe in rewarding people who perform over a period of time. You can't just drop people like flies based on 'theories' using 'tactics' as an excuse. Jadeja also has a habit of making things happen and gets runs in very critical situations.

If Sky really wanted perspective of a spinner in the commentary box, they should have brought in Anil Kumble. Harbhajan Singh is the last guy I would bring to do English commentary.
