Touch and go, IMHO. I'd take Zaheer and Praveen ahead of him, but Sid and Ishant is a toss up.

Oooo. Missing leg for my quid. Good non-review.

On promise, I'd throw in Yadav ahead of Sids. Seen him a lot in fc and early signs in the two tests against West Indies were quite encouraging.

If y'all want to play shots like that in a test, it's no wonder if you get out cheap.

If he's good at it and executes it well then it's fine. It's funny how people don't like it when people execute shots like that well but don't mind when the edge behind trying to play a cover drive.

When was the last time MJ landed six successive balls on a good spot? The one we just saw was a fine, probing over.


EDIT: The curator's turning it. Good signs!

Johnson hitting 140kmh off about 3 steps. Bringing it back in a touch too. If he could bottle this feeling/rhythm he'd be quite the bowler. I suspect he's a fast bowling savant tho and doesn't know how he's doing it himself.

ABdeV needs to CTFO against the offie; looks unnecessrily skittish. Lyon saw him coming there.
