Not heard that, but I guarantee you'd still need a jumper up in the North East!

*Official* India tour of England 2025 General Discussion

Sods law is the nicer the Spring the crappier the Summer.

Hottest spring, most likely but due to be cooler after today for a while.

It's not so much that it's hot, it's been crazy dry. We've had virtually no rain for 2 months, unheard of at this time of year. The lawn in my garden is brown, like proper August brown in a decent Summer. But I doubt it will have any impact on the Test pitches, they'll all be well watered and the County Championship has shown as usual that there's not been much help for spinners.

In the Ind A vs Lions game, Dubey the SLA was getting some turn and there were puffs of dust exploding once a while like you see in Asia. It definitely looked more helpful for spin than at least I've seen in the past 15-20 years.

Looking forward to this.
Worried about the England attack which looked pretty blunt against Zimbabwe, albeit on a flat pitch.
3-2 England.

Tbf, out of the bowlers who played last week, only Stokes and Bashir (who were the pick of the bowlers) are nailed on to play against India, Cook is obviously nothing more than backup, I feel Carse will come straight back in for Tongue and Atkinson may or may not be fit

We’ll do everything in our power to get him to Australia, I look forward to him breaking down 10 overs into the first Test in Perth

Atkinson out of the first Test, suspect it’ll be a seam bowling attack of Stokes, Woakes, Carse and Tongue then
Molehill
International Coach
Potts would seem to be the only alternative, not sure where they'd go after that? I think Cook maybe one and done, Hull could be next cab.

So, Robinson will never be considered even if 20 guys are injured?
Chin Music
State Captain
Can't say I'm surprised that he's out of that. I didn't think a hammy was the type of thing that would only take 3 weeks or so to see off. I hope he isn't rushed back in.
Gob
International Coach
Probably if Bashir breaks down
Molehill
International Coach
He'd be on my list now. Leading wicket taker for Sussex this season so far and hasn't got the results his bowling has actually shown. But I don't think he'll play for England again unless there's a change in coaching set up.
