***Official*** England in India

[Turbinator]

Lol getting the excuses in early, nice...

 

[Turbinator]

****ing hell! Three warm-up games?! Why has the BCCI allowed England to prepare this well? After this, I reckon Cook's going to make life difficult for us.

 

[Jono]

They wanted to increase the amount of time England are vulnerable to Delhi Belly obviously.

Apparently the BCCI are only serving mild curries for lunch in the warm up games, which frankly is ****ing bull****. The whole idea of warm up games is for the opposition to get used to what they'll get in test matches. Now the England team are going to go into the test matches not prepared for the ring sting they will experience from the morning of day two onwards.

Yeah, I've got this as my first excuse if we happen to lose.

Cook chokes on 97 with the ton there for the taking.

Denis jr looking to have secured the 2nd opening slot with a (currently) unbeaten half-century.

Guess that leaves Bluey on the outers for the first test at least.

boring ****s. they're in india. there are literally 25,000,000 more awesome things they could be doing but they're playing golf. **** me.

Seems weird to think that Compton is actually two years older than Cook.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Interesting Jimmeh was putting right-handed.

I know Lara used to play golf with his right so it wouldn't affect his batting, but surprised Anderson is that serious about his.

Anyway Compton and Trott both LBW to spin. Handy practice for the test series, etc.

Crackinfo's batting line ups irk me no end too; Panesar and Onions are listed ahead of Patel and Bresnan. Really? Is that likely to happen?

 

[theegyptian]

mishra 8 overs out of 80+. It really is pretty sad.

Meant world class spinners obviously! But I do see Viru and UV chipping in.
