    *Official* India tour of England 2025 General Discussion

    I don't think we learned anything in this series. Duckett, Root and Brook are excellent batters, Crawley and Pope are mediocre. Woakes is in decline. Bashir isn't a great spinner but he did better than Dawson. Bethell and Joverton play little cricket or in poor form and play poorly. Decent...

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Sundar was miles better with the ball than Jadeja.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    I've very mixed feelings about the McCullum/Stokes/Key era. The cricket has been exciting, sure, but often unadaptable and braindead. Australia's iffy batting line up might make it more competitive, but I think we'll get hammered and it might be curtains for those three (if we lose badly, then...

    Feel sorry for Gus but the middle to lower order were shocking.

    How are ENG favourites?

    If you've got plenty of boundary riders why stick a bowler out there?

    Bethell and Smith can take more blame.

    India had no reviews so they get given.

    Calm down Jamie (S).

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    See, I'd have sent Overton out instead of Bethell last night.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    I suppose Pope is the spare keeper and could drop down the order if needed. I'd be tempted to take Hameed but might question how he would handle bouncy pitches. He's not been a Lions pick though. Probably will be one of Haines, McKinney or Gay(?). I wouldn't want to rely on Bethell as the only...

    If Bethell is lined up for the Ashes then he has to play CC surely?

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Agree, I don't see the need to rush Bethell in Tests. I think we have some useful middle order batters breaking through who play a lot of CC and could come in when needed.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    I don't begrudge Bethell playing as soon as there is a vacancy but he should have played every CC possible for Warwickshire to find some form. We might as well have picked Rew or Coles in this test.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    India just bowl Siraj and Krishna til it's done? No point getting through to the new ball, it's only going to last 10 overs max regardless.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    I get that he's the next cab and all that and you might not treat county cricket as the best training ground sometimes, but you've got to make sure your spare batter gets some game time.

    Sky have a dedicated cricket channel, so why does it matter to them? They'd have just followed the live broadcast with a highlights show.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    England will be very glad of that. Should be better to bat tomorrow morning.

    How many overs have these guys bowled on the bounce? They'll be dead when the new ball comes.

    Grrr, Root has been weird since Brook got out.
