*Official* India Tour of England 2018

I remember Top Cat's repeated posts questioning the value of picking Buttler (after he was pretty great against Pak). They've aged well.

tbf it wasn't only Top Cat. I think I suggested that Buttler wasn't the greatest pick when Stokes came back, so fair do's to the lad.

How long has Broad averaged less than 20 for?

 

[Daemon]

How long are we giving it until we move Jos up the order and his form disappears?

It's weird isn't it. Moeen, Stokes and Bairstow all did well down the order. No one seems to be able to cope with batting higher up though.

This is frustrating.

Can't be very long. I'd guess that it fell below 20 over the winter.

 

[artvandalay]

Butter also seems like the sort who probably would bomb if he were promoted up the order. It's strange. He's best coming in where he does at present. Lets also not forget to credit ipl for his test resurgence. ��

Another tail wag. Oh joy. Too bad I couldn't watch it ball-by-ball.

Bowlers decided to wilt one day late. Oh well.

Beaten the bat 32 times has Shami. On another day that's an easy 5-fer.

 

[artvandalay]

What the hell does shami need to do to.get a wicket? An understatement to say it's not his day.

Just like yesterday, then.

Pitch it up consistently.

What's up with Smith to make him look so pissed off, his pick (Buttler) is doing well.

 

[wpdavid]

300 up.
How on earth did that happen?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pitch it up consistently.

That's just a meme.

Same here, proved me wrong though if he is to stay in the side he probably needs to prove he can bat at 5 and Bairstow goes back there with the gloves.

 

[Daemon]

Ishant's getting ridiculous movement.

Bhuvi must be kicking himself throughout this series. Would've cleaned up.

Hes bowled worse and taken a lot more on another day tbh. Got Buttler driving and edging a couple of times not to mention all those plays and misses.
