India tour of England Aug-Sept 2021

Looks like Ollie Pope will miss out with injury.

Spoiler: Guess who's back... back again...

This is going to be a proper meme series and I for one am ready

To be honest if he's batting at 6 or 7 I've no problem with that given Stokes and Pope are both out. It's when he goes higher up the order things go haywire.

He'll be batting five though, which is at least a position or two too high.

I do reluctantly concede that there's a paucity of available talent to fill a recently vacated number five slot but I think I'd have Dan Lawrence, Dawid Malan, James Vince and possibly Tom Abell in the side ahead of YJB here

Bairstow at 5 man. Bring on the mother tweaking MEMES!

Bairstow is due a score.

India at Trent Bridge since 2007 :

2007 - Win (Zaheer and Jelly Beans)
2011 - Loss (Broads Test match score with the bat and a hattrick)
2014 - Draw (Hundred By Vijay and the Tailenders piling runs Bhuvi - Shami for India, Anderson for England)
2018 - Win (Fifer for Pandya, Runs by Kohli & Pujara)

Lets see whats in store for the 1st Test this time around perhaps our best chance to win at a venue in England.

Batting needs to click someone from the top order needs to get a Big One, almost everyone is due for some runs.

Get the tweaking tail out for Fffs early, don't let the Sam Currans, the Robinsons, the Broads smack you for 100 runs for the last 4 wickets.

Get the combination right atleast now play team as per the match conditions.

Heck Ravi Shastri & Kohli will repeat the same despite what happened before.

Swann's best score*

Broad's best score is 167 v/s Pakistan in 2010

There's a good chance that this will happen again.

Yeah I mean he rescued them after what 100 for 6 scored a quick counterattacking fifty.

D-day is here. The next 40 days should be fun.

Looks like a lovely batting day.

Michael Holding suspects India have selected one spinner.

Looking at the forecast, I guess this Test is just to warm up players for this series. I am assuming this match won't continue after today.
