India tour of England 2018

[zimrahil]

I think Umesh will be dropped for sure and Kuldeep might come in his place and Pandya will be used as the third seamer.


If only this was known to the people making the decisions.

Yes I would definitely call up Kuldeep for next test (but hope they don't). We all know what English are like against spin, should be a no brainer

So Pope all set to make his debut. Given the history the Indians have against debutant players, I foresee a good beginning for him

Also, it appears Dhawan will keep his place

Don't know about you guys, but I found this hilarious!

Well he has just played an utterly flawless innings where he was 'not dropped twice' and that considering his batting personality, he demands composure from his fellow batsmen

Did you expect anything different? This management is even worse when it comes to "not being able to differentiate between limited overs and test cricket; between home conditions and overseas conditions".

With this rain, the possibility of playing a second spinner goes down further. I have a feeling India will go in unchanged, which would be a rubbish move but that's what I think India will do

Atleast I hope India bats first. It will give us the best chance of winning. If we bat first and survive tricky conditions, our chances of winning will exponentially increase.

Well Pope could end up to be one of those English batsmen hat score loads of runs in county cricket and score nothing in international cricket, much like Gary Ballance.

The management seems to love Dhawan. They seem to following their saying of playing aggressively and with intent, while Dhawan suits that ticket perfectly for them.

I don't think there will be any changes in the lineup besides the second spinner, but even that appears unlikely after this rain and damp conditions.

May 2011 vs pakistan entire first day was washed out at Lord's just like yesterday

Murali Vijay, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma

Much better team. What we should have played in the first game. I would have given Umesh another chance though[DOUBLEPOST=1533895528][/DOUBLEPOST]Vijay gone for a duck Poor Pujara ... he wouldn't have expected to walk out so soon

 

[abhi_jacko]

Rahul looks like a poor choice for an opener in these conditions purely based on what he did in this innings. Doesn't seem to have the judgement required to leave deliveries when the ball is moving around like this

Anderson is king of Lords not much one can do while Rahul is make shift opener our policy is if you doing good in IPL we assumes he or she will open anywhere in the world.

Very soon you will see new faces in BCCI who I wish selects better team for test matches

Cong.anderson for 96 test wickets at Lord's
India 11 for 2

If you mean James Taylor and other funny guy india also not far behind in tests selection we have dozen of better opener in domestic but they never give them opportunity to establish at any level.

I am glad Asia cup near corner where india must need to includes Shaw/Agarwal /Samarth plus Vihari, Rohit etc

I would still give him the whole series. He has not got an extended run ever.

Don't get the logic of the second spinner and definitely not getting the logic of Pandya still in the XI!
