He's a good player of spin though. They'd definitely have found him useful.

That's terrible from Pujara, I can understand him going for it but shouldn't have gone in the air.

Nora for me.

Who would have thought picking an aged spinner that was crap when he was actually playing for England would be a really stupid move?
Yeah, it kind of worked years ago with Udal so they went for the same trick again but Batty was never good enough at his best so was never going to work when past his best.

Rashid getting wickets with these long hops LOL.. he's going to end up with better figures in India than Warne ever managed.

Can't remember any leggie getting much in India TBH. Mostly it's offspinners, left-armers etc. who have troubled us occasionally.

TBH, I think we got away with it with Udal, some appalling batting on that final day, made his figures look okay. Remember that it was only Fletcher's hatred of Swann that kept him from playing, and I think we can safely say he would have been better.
