Frey Pies Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Horrid performance by India. We really need Virat Kohli back in form. I think Shikhar Dhawan should be taken out, and Rohit Sharma should replace him as the other opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brAnthelAstgreenseer Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The only thing going for Gambhir is that he is not playing . I don't see him playing any better than Dhawan . We need to bring in Ashwin in the team , that is the more important change that needs to be made . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Apparently, England are still capable of winning games, which is nice to see. Good performance from Ali to take 6 wickets, he's still not the finished article but I think he's making progress. Now we have to see whether Anderson will get banned for his altercation with Jadeja. If he does miss the next Test then it will be a big blow for England since he seems to have returned to form in this Test and it would force them to change a winning team. It's possible there might be a change anyway, with Woakes and Jordan wicketless I think there's a chance Plunkett could make a return, and in the past Old Trafford has often been a good hunting ground for fast bowlers.

fuem Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Lol the Poms won a test match well I'll be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's a real shame we're not going to have Ishant for that test. What's the point of bringing Gambhir if you're not going to play him when one of the top two isn't doing a particularly good job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Pies Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I hope the line-up for the next test looks like this (for India): VijayGambhirPujaraKohliRahaneSharmaDhoniJadejaKumarAshwinShami Only two seamers might not be enough though, so Rohit Sharma could be dropped, probably for Pankaj. There will still be a lot of depth in the squad, with everyone up to Ashwin capable of getting 50+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Apparently the pitch in Manchester is going to be a quick one. Can't see them going in with just two quicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Pies Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ahh ok then, guess Rohit will be out :( They might even chose to exclude Ashwin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Apparently the pitch in Manchester is going to be a quick one. Can't see them going in with just two quicks I don't think playing only two seamers is ever a good idea in England. Cricinfo suggests that Kumar might be an injury worry, it would be a big blow for India to lose him especially when they've already lost Ishant.

Daeric Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In apparently what was a very quick decision, both cases have being found not guilty. So no ban for Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've turned it off for the fear of throwing a pillow at the tv when the next one decides to prod at a ball swinging away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've got it on in the office. Anderson appears to be trying to prove a point of some sort. Bowling some beautiful balls. Looks like he'll have Dhoni out very shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Oh man totally missed the start of this. They seem to have settled down now. You know it's bad when the opening bowlers can afford to bowl long spells because they have had long breaks with the fall of each wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Anderson doing exactly the right thing, responding to the disciplinary shenanigans with the ball. Alas, I think the match will be severely impacting by Bertha remnants at the weekend (probably Sunday will be a washout). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 At least Rahane and Dhoni have managed to stabilise the innings just a little bit. India still in all sorts of trouble though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's a good time for Ashwin to prove his Test batting average is not a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
