*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Socerer 01]

For a finger spinner, bloke gets injured far too much

he is an 3 format allrounder who fields like a madman tbf

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice

 

[CricAddict]

Good win by India as expected and restores parity.

Jaiswal-Rohit-Gill-Kohli-Patidar-Rahul/Sarfaraz-Jurel-Axar-Ashwin-Kuldeep-Bumrah is the XI I will go with for next match. 4 bowlers is quite enough since all the 3 spinners can bowl the bulk of the overs and support Boomrah.

Congrats India. England wont be too disheartened though. Hope the third test has competitive wickets like these two.

 

[Smudge]

Geez they didn't miss with the post-match participation prizes handed out by every sponsor in the local area.

 

[Silver Silva]

250 seems to have been about the par score throughout this match, the difference was the knock by Jaiswal. It was probably a good toss to win too as Day 1 seemed the best for batting.

Difference was selecting Bashir instead of Robinson imo.

India did have Mukesh to neutralize that.

Yeah, Bumrah and Anderson showed what quality seamers could get out of the pitch. At no point did either go for more than 3 runs an over in the innings whilst they picked up 14 wickets between them.

If Leach is fit for the next Test I assume he replaces Bashir. Anderson surely keeps his place, not sure what they do about Rehan v Robinson/Wood.

think anderson will be rested for 4th test because gap between 3rd and 4th is 3-4 days. robinson will come in then

Hasn't Rehan come on a fair bit compared to the first test? I'm not sure I would go with the two left arm orthodox spinners again.

Yeah, to be fair he's picked up 6 in the match at under 26, not to be sniffed at. He's quite good at removing the tail too. So maybe Leach for Bashir will be the only change.

 

[danzydab]

England need a 2nd seamer in Robinson more than they need Leach.

Rehan has bowled pretty poorly and got wickets due to good captaincy from stokes. Leach would offer the much needed control
But then again, Rehan somehow is getting breakthroughs despite the trash freebies. Also provides very important lower order runs.

Can you include home and away stats too

It probably depends on the pitch too, but I suspect they'll stick with 3 spinners, especially as Root offered little in this Test.

 

[Ashes81]

If Leach is fit, he would definitely come in for Bashir.

Elsewhere much the same with the only decision really is whether to play a 2nd seamer instead of Ahmed.

What an excellent test match

Quicks, spinners, batsmen everyone was in with a good chance of doing well at every stage of the game

England played reasonably well I thought but Bumrah and Jaiswal were just too good

We got lucky with 2 epic performances - esp. Bumrah - and was backed up by decent games for Kuldeep, Gill and Ashwin. England have been awesome and its obvious if we are not at our best they are gonna smash us. Hopefully selections can be sorted out by next game but knowing Dravid, we may well see Mukesh again.
