Greentops against England for this lineup, with our 3 best bowlers (plus A/R) missing, is basically frying your own b**** in soy sauce just to taste them - I mean why really?

 

Cheee, now I am traumatized forever, I will not use soya sauce for a long time in Chinese food.

Do you think we can win on such pitches if we batted second? 

We will win more than we lose even batting second on such pitches...tbh only Aus and Eng can beat us on these kind of pitches batting first, that too if they play very well and we are subpar. 

 

Honestly I want similar pitches we have been laying out for last 5-6 years which also helps our awesome quicks. Just sick and tired of this pitch nonsense and sheer hypocrisy of some who never open their mouths when NZ, RSA, Eng prepare grasslands against SC teams.

Ahhh good old pitch doctoring masters n.z. they should shut their trap hole about pitches. I am sick of seeing their fake persona. They are not nice guys to be goodfing around with. I hope Indian actually take them seriously and prepare well next time the tour.

Look at our batting against spin here, we would have lost by at least 200 runs of we had batted second here 

 

no .we may be not great against spin  but the poms are worse judging by the shots they have played or not played.game would be closer but we would still win.

Pressure of scorecard is different. We collapsed on a day 5 pitch last test which was not even spinning as much as this pitch on day 1

I think we need to make decks which are toss neutral.

 

I also think we need more batting depth.

I dont mind rank turners against England ,no site is better than to see the poms batting like jumping Jacks on turning tracks ,its *ing beautiful and enjoyable .

England spinners can be negated ,they dont have a Swann anymore

If we can do well Overseas, I see no reason why we cannot do well on pitches that does a bit that too in a specific window in Indian conditions

Its all about the mindset as they, and we gotta change that :)

Will this be the first time that a day night match will be played on a turner? 

Quite excited to see how it all unfolds.
