Horses for courses man, Umesh/Shami are first two picks in India even ahead of Bumrah IMO. Ishant 1st or 2nd pick in England. Our TM doesn't get something so simple. 

Weirdly TM seemed like a genius in Australia as soon as Kohli left. Pick of Sundar etc was great 

[Gollum]

Stokes batting, why isn't his tormentor Ashwin bowling? 

[rageaddict]

Only Stokes has the ability to play a match defining knock here , just as Kohli and Co are confident that the match is in their pocket already.

16 overs in, Ashwin has 0 overs. WTF.

Yeah not a good idea to get him fired up

[Nikhil_cric]

. If its flat, I hope it stays flat until the 5th day. Is siraj bowling over the wicket to Stokes?

[nitinbwj]

Partnership 19 off 25 so far. Both are looking positive especially Stokes

Wrong selections have rarely cost us at home due to Jadeja/Ashwin always being there. Unlike the first test where Nadeem stuck out like a sore thumb. Away though we rarely get the combo right due to Brat's "gut" feel.

[IndianLegend]

Why is Ashwin not bowling yet? He can get Stokes here. These guys are settling in now

[nitinbwj]

Where is Ashwin ? No use bringing him when both have scored 50s 

[Yoda-esque]

These are free runs,get ashwin

Ishant doing the same. He is wasted Jerez shouldn’t have been playing in this match

what do you guys make of the pitch? What score would Eng be looking at with 3 down now?

To get him inform and make sure England dont bundle out quickly 

[Yoda-esque]

Dumb captaincy as usual..stokes once he gets set,is difficult to dislodge

It's a 200-220 pitch

Ishant should not have starred over Siraj even in the first test, the * was that all about 

[RAZPOR]

should have played umesh here.

[raki05]

Siraj bowling well.
