Funny you phrase it that way, because I actually associate the dark days of England cricket with having lots and lots of players featuring in international cricket. They just weren't very good at it. When we were good we didn't need to try so many options.Its amazing that we can actually have like 40 players who can play international cricket.
After the dark days of the 90s, this is just amazing.
Yeah, basically the thing is we now have players who are at least decent for the A level who cant even make it to the B team. Depth does not mean consistent dominance though, obviously. But its nice to have players who are international quality being left out coz there are too many of that quality, than have guys come in who were clearly not at that level like we had in the 90s.Funny you phrase it that way, because I actually associate the dark days of England cricket with having lots and lots of players featuring in international cricket.

I do take your point though. India do have crazy depth right now, in the bowling department especially for Tests and batting for the white ball stuff.
Siraj seems like he’s getting better and better. It really is very very tempting.Shami is still showing signs of rust coming back from the injury. Siraj is in red hot form. For the one off game, its important to play the blokes most likely to do well and in form. I wont even mind them dropping Gill for Mayank for the same reason. Or even open with Vihari if he is more used to the English conditions as he can be a nice foil to the aggressive Rohit.
Yeah, will almost be tempted to open with Vihari. But Gill deserves the chance to fail. Lets see how the practice internal games go.Siraj seems like he’s getting better and better. It really is very very tempting.
Gill is my biggest worry.
What? No. Unlike Rohit, its generally a good bet that he'll only nick one after surviving a good number of balls first.Pujara is a snicker too
Yeah, true. He just needed an entire (disappointing) county stint in 2018 to come off. Not sure it's gonna work this time. Definitely better than Rohit. Just don't expect much from him this time.What? No. Unlike Rohit, its generally a good bet that he'll only nick one after surviving a good number of balls first.
Just play KL Rahul. He has a test hundred in England.Gill is my biggest worry.
