Moochad Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 feels more like last series. I think we can win 1 test match, but England will probably win 2-3 UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

adi B Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Too much negative comments here ,kohli might be poor as a captain in team selections but on field ,in tests ,he has an aura of not giving up and you can sense something's gonna work .kohli is a pretty shrewd on field captain and works his bowlers ,field setting well .we ain't gonna see much 400+ scores from England,be assured Ankit_sharma03, ThePhenomenal1 and Mosher 2 1 Link to comment

Yea but u never knew they both might end up playing ahead of Rahul Link to comment
Gollum Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If Wrogn gets team selection right and if our catchers+keeper don't drop 6 per match we will win because we are a better team. If we lose this series it will be the most shameful chapter in Indian cricket history surpassing the 0-8 chewtiyapa....least I expect is a hard fought 2-2 draw.

Sooda Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 In 2011 we came to England really poorly prepared. A lot of players past their prime and unfit. Cant say we have not planned/prepared ok with time round. With the A team matches etc. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 19 hours ago, Trichromatic said: Last series we had Vijay, Rahane, Bhuvi and Dhoni doing well and still got humiliated after dominating first 2 tests. This time: Vijay - looks out of form and age is catching up with him. Dhawan - We will be lucky if he manages 1 big score. Pujara - couldn't buy a run whole county season. Won't be surprised if another 20 avg "see-the-new-ball" useless innings are common for him. Kohli - only inform batsman. Then we have to see how he manages moving balls here. Will do well this time. Rahane - Expecting couple of good scores from him. Panday - hit and miss. Weakest link of the team. Ideally not needed for test team in England. Rahul - Won't play Bhuvi - injured Shami - Still recovering. Will take 2-3 tests to return back to rhythm. Bumrah - recovering Ishant and Umesh - Only bowlers expected to bowl at full throttle right from start. Pray they come good somehow. Kuldeep/Ashwin - Bonus performances/crucial role. Pant/Karthik - Unknown materials. Karthik is known for 20s and 30s. So only 2-3 reliable performers and rest all look uncertain. very negative outlook. all this gloom because we lost 2 ODI games ? cheer up man. stop spreading negativity - you will get just that if you do. trust in the team to deliver, its just England..

Vilander Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I think 3 all in LOI is a good result better than we expected . I was expecting 3-2 win for India, may be it might be better like say 3-1 with one draw. But India is going to win. Link to comment
kruiser Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I don't have faith in this team to bat even 90 overs. Our bowling will be fine, batting will let us down again. Less said the better about our catching! Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Our pace bowling cannot match their Pacers. Anderson and Broad are two top class proven bowlers. Having said that our pace bowling attack is much better than it was ever in past, and we could see how nicely the pacers bowled against Saffers. Their spinners cannot match our spinners. We have the best spinners amongst all teams. Batting wise their batting is more suited to their home conditions. Like SA, we are dependent on Virat yet again. But even he could not change the scoreline in SA although he did his part with the bat. In tests it will need more performances from many players rather than just one or two players. As far as this series is concerned they have a superior team on paper for these conditions. Somehow, we need a test win after failing in SA. Another overseas series loss won't help. It will be wonderful to see team finally win test series in SA, English or Australia. The selection bias and blunders have to stop. Link to comment
philcric Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If all the players were fit and available, I'd have been excited and confident. But with Bhuvi, Bumrah missing and Vijay, Pujara in awful form and unnecessary tinkering with Rahul's spot, I'm just hoping that we play well. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Think he scored 3 * 50's as well in that test series. Didn't he. His runs will be missed as well in that case apart from the swing in those conditions. Bumrah's pace will be a miss as well. The think tank has gone for experienced pacers Shami, Umesh and Ishant who have played lot of cricket. Shardul seems to be backup and will get only in 2nd test unless one of the experienced trio gets injured for first test. Fresh or young talent have been ignored by Virat, Shastri and selectors.
