Frustrated Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think Bhuvi should be sent to Eng immediately after T20 series ends. I know he is a trundler but his swing will give us wickets with new ball. Plus he is better batsman than a tailender. Link to comment

He can neither rotate nor hit out against spin. . Rahul in middle order will give me some hope. i don't think they will pick a spinner. Moeen isn't there in the squad, so leach is the only option but he is not an AR. like nz, they can just go with 3 pacers+ 2 pace A/R (curran+stokes) Link to comment

Dude has already got timing issues. However opening won't be a bad idea. Any runs he scores there will be bonus. Genuine Tailender these days he is Cricspin 1 Link to comment
Jay Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Most likely and possibly strongest England lineup without bhai moeen and rashid.; Burns Crawley Bairstow /sibley/malan (in order) Root Stokes Dan Lawrence (Pope is fodder) Buttler Sam Curran Robinson (woakes when woakes comes back) Broad (replaced with stone or Archer after test2) Anderson (will play only 2 or 3 games. So has to be replaced by stone or Archer) Middle order us super strong. Root stokes Buttler Lawrence. Batting depth with Curran and Robinson. Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Vihari has got to be the most boring Indian batsman ever. Even Pujara is better express bowling 1 Link to comment
QuarantineTormentino Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) With the squad that England have picked, there’s a very high chance we might get a seaming wicket/pitch with minimal spin. Then what’s the point in us playing both Ash and Jaddu? I would rather play Jaddu and Thakur instead of Ash + 3 pacers Edited July 22, 2021 by QuarantineTormentino express bowling 1 Link to comment

They'd want to return the favour of the earlier India tour. I totally expect even Oval to have such a wicket. Actually, I'll be disappointed if Eng do not prepare 2002 NZ type pitches for all 5 tests. With Bumrah looking out of sorts, our pace attack will not be as effective on such wickets to keep us in the game. QuarantineTormentino 1 Link to comment

You don't need a good pace attack to do well on pitches like those, Bumrah will be unplayable if they prepare nz 2002 kinda pitches. Also they don't really have batsman who can survive in such conditions, we actually had some players who could play spin. (Rohit and Pant) Lord and express bowling 2 Link to comment
