Is Broad injured or is India just so backwards that he thinks he's woken up in 2008 and bowled accordingly?
Bit of both. He missed the tour games because of injury so he's obviously not match fit yet but I would've expected him to be on his game for the second Test after getting some miles in his legs during the first and he was still ****.

This is the thing though - Finn's been injured for a little while too now. So do you bring him in partially underdone because you think Broad's problems are form related rather than fitness related, or do you back Broad to start coming good in the third Test now that he's had some matches under his belt?

"D Y Patil Academy XI"

Probably wouldn't have any quality players in it given the fact that they're all playing Ranji matches.

So Finn took 5-50, Kerrigan 4-61, Meaker 1-34 and Borthwick the other wicket?

You'd think that confirms Finn as ahead of Onions in the pecking order.

Hard to say. Could be that they consider Onions and Finn both "above" the EPP but decided to stick Finn in at short notice to prove his fitness.

Apparently Onions finished with 14-6-11-0. Hard to say what those sort of figures mean against a team we know nothing about, really.
