***Official*** England in India

[flibbertyjibber]

England looking very good

Bit early to say that, Ashwin not bowled much good stuff as yet but that may be due to it being tough to bowl spin with a brand new ball than anything else.

He'd be proud as punch to see his grandson opening the batting for England; pull your head in.

Personally think Denis would have been fizzing at the bung to see his grandson open his test match account.

Why?

isn't looking really good is he?

Well....maybe I exaggerated a bit but he isn't playing all that flash at the moment

 

[morgieb]

Hopefully Cook can break his lean patch here.

Well he's not looking horrible. Hope he makes runs. My boi Compton.

Ashwin can bowl. Has 5 test five-fors.

Corrected.

Ojha's taken 76 test wickets? Would probably have guessed 30-40 at most.

... Denis would have been fizzing at the bung to see his grandson...

Now, that's pretty close to the original FATB statement

Who wants to break it to Nasser that it's not actually a carrom ball?

 

[Spark]

So long as they don't spend the entire series trying to pronounce "sudoku" I'm cool with them getting it wrong

Well 45 of those wickets came in Tests only seven people were watching against West Indies and New Zealand.

It's actually a 'sodukku'

Nasser is tedious to listen to nowadays. The new Harsha Bhogle imo.

Well I'm not getting the Sky team so I'm stuck with the old Harsha Bhogle. Wanna swap?

David Lloyd is on ftr.

 

[Burgey]

Wish it was Denis Compton. Would be awesome.

Apart from the fact he's brown bread, of course.

Just came back to the cricket from lunch.

Thanks to being unbeaten, Pujara's average went from being 40.37 in five games to 66.12 in six games.

I take it, Ashwin's not really done anything spectacular so far?
