***Official*** India in England 2014

[King Pietersen]

He will play, not sure he is an opening bowler though.

Broad, Finn, Plunkett, Ali and probably Woakes would be how i'd go.

Yeah fair point. I'd be happy with that attack! Can't see them dropping Jordan though. Will end up with Broad, Plunkett, Jordan, Woakes and Ali.

 

[Stace]

I would love to see Finn back but I don't think they would go there yet.

Michael Holding really is losing the plot.......wtf was he just on about??

 

[Burgey]

With the exception of Pujara, Rahane is so much more compact than every other Indian batsman. Plays it late and rarely plays away from his body. Got a good temperament too, it seems.

 

[Pothas]

Come on Jadeja do something stupid.

 

[Flem274*]

jadeja batting when a draw is needed. this will be great.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Dhoni looks **** whether he's getting runs or not.

Disagree. Dhoni is quite a handsome man.

Yeah Rahane's a gun, good bloke too.

He must be good for you to praise an Indian.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Idk whether I want Jadeja to get out early (the ****ing useless batsman he is) or watch him suffer for an extended period of time. Kind of the play with prey debacle.

This is unbelievable news! When did Holding find the plot and why didn't anyone make a thread about it while he still had it?

The sun doesn't need to shine on a warm day in Jamaica? Or what? Weird stuff....

so england couldn't last longer than a toaster. can india last longer than my smallish 500ml tub of chocolate ice cream?

Ordinarily I wouldn't, but he's playing against England

 

[Adders]

When was the last time Jimmy missed a test match?? Was it the West Indies series a couple of years ago when we rested some bowlers?

 

[Scaly piscine]

I wouldn't, basically takes out lbw and bowled as a plausible method of dismissal when the seamers bowl.

Broad, Woakes, Plunkett & Stokes. I'm not sure any of them regularly take the new ball for the county? Woakes is the most obvious candidate to take the new ball.

Uncalled for on poor 'ol Adders

 

[Adders]

I used to love Mickey, not sure if he has gotten worse or I've just wised up on the game and realised he's a twit.

He has got worse. He was much better saying very little and letting us all marvel at the voice. Now he comes out with as much dopey stuff as Bumble but Bumble gets away with it as he is bonkers and we accept that.

 

[King Pietersen]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but looks like Woakes has gained a yard of pace.
