India tour of England Aug-Sept 2021

[asprin]

In before the toss - Going by history (no, not talking about the 2014 series), England should win this.

They've picked SCurran over Mahmood. Baffling

Can't fault Kohli for sticking with the same team, but.........but I strongly feel Ashwin should have come in - in place of who? I don't know but he should have been in..

Curious to know, if that happens, after what duration will that happen?

Only the fourth time in 64 Tests Virat Kohli has played unchanged XIs in successive Tests.
vs Eng Trent Bridge & Southampton 2018
vs WI North Sound & Kingston in 2019
vs Ban Indore & Kolkata in 2019/20
vs Eng Lord's & Leeds 2021 *

Maybe Jadeja.

WHAT? Are they hoping his lack of pace will provide some kind of advantage?

Absolute Legend.

How did Rahul, who has played so well, fall into that trap?

Shami and Bumrah better be getting their pads on.

Kohli served on a platter for Anderson ... num num num

More baffling is that they never even considered dropping Curran - always framed as Mahmood or Overton to replace Wood. Very weird.

This is a spectacular spell from Jimmy, but one wonders if India might have too many runs on the board for England

 

[wasteyouryouth]

The last test here England won having been bowled out for 67 in their first innings. So, all is not lost for India fans.
