2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Silver Silva]

obviously, Sehwag averages 29 against England.

@Johan Jaiswal now has gone past another legendary Indian Opener who scored all his runs against England , Vijay Merchant in 6 less innings

 

[Johan]

Well bowled Carse

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Karun Nair has crossed 26! This is now his second highest test inning ever. Be afraid England, be very afraid.

Phew.

 

[Agonizingly Awkward]

Commentator : Karen Nair is looking good

Lol

 

[GIMH]

Much needed

TBF I reckon Sehwag would have scored loads of rune against this England attack in these conditions too.

Karun does not look convincing. Too nervous at the crease. Sai looked better.

Nah Woakes would do him in

 

[andruid]

india not going to win anything away from home until we poach baz to be coach

Is Sandeep Patil still up for coaching work. He is the man who took Kenya to the 2003 CWC semis.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah Sehwag would have dominated at Headingley but here he'd have approximately 0% chance of surviving Woakes's opening spell.

The england attack back then was not exactly brilliant. Ryan Sidebottom and co

Reckon the sum was better than their parts and England decks would h00p around all day. Which English bowlers too his wicket most often?

Ryan Sidebottom gets into both these teams bowling line ups he averaged 27 which was very good in the 2000's flat era

Sidebottom was perfectly decent imo. I rated him higher than the likes of caddick.

Hoggard got him out 6 times , Anderson and Swann 5 a piece

Miles above Woakes, Carse and Bashir

to be fair that era was Jimmy, Broady, Sidebottom, then Panesar/Swann and then ?ravi bopara / collingwood

strong opening 4 bowlers then a REAL part timer

 

[RightArmMystery]

Tongue awful in the first innings of a Test against the top order again. Him and Carse bowl far too many loose deliveries, but at least Carse picks up top order wickets. Even if Jofra could only have bowled a few short spells he'd have offered way more than Tongue. He'll be back to the bottom of the pecking order once Jof, Atkinson and Wood are back. If he starts The Ashes in the XI, we're ****ed.

shouldn't be starting with the new ball. he should just be used as "the enforcer"

 

[GIMH]

Don't think Broad & Sidebottom ever played against India together
