So, what do you think. Who will win the upcoming game? England or India?

I think you should go back to where you belong I.e not here.

Sadly after all these years he has no idea how to bowl well in Seaming conditions 

Swinging, neither does Shami/Bumrah or Sharmaji for that matter!

Ishant bowled well last time was hitting 140k occasionally..  But he has completely lost the zip.  Run up is all over the place.  He is done

Last time? You know the series where one batsman scored 500+ & no one else reached even 350 from either side? Yeah that was the pitches & 140k occasionally isn't really much of an achievement when Curran (or Butler) was still hitting him down the order!

Avesh Khan has been ruled out of the tour

Avesh was bowling pies before getting injured. Seen in that context, Umesh's performance in warm-up is a relief.

These guys can't just land the balls in good areas.. do they even practice?

That 100 test gadha isn't even practicing. I guess he's guaranteed a spot for the 1st test. I can still understand clown sitting out but this gadha? I guess the team management feels as if he's Glenn McGrath when in reality there's a difference of 11 in their bowling averages

Kolhi, Rahane, Shami, Ishant and Ashwin not playing the only practice match before the test series.. ( Ashwin I can forgive, he played a game for Surrey and did well).. what is the excuse for the rest of the seniors...? Cant imagine any other country's senior players doing this on an important tour

[CodeOfWisden]

So Pujara is opening today., good move hoping he scores well at this position. 

Its the only way KL Rahul can be accommodated at no. 3.

[Lord]

good to see Pujara opening,might open up spot for Rahul.

[Lone Wolf]

Looks like its Pujara vs Mayank battle...  Come on Mayank do it buddy.  Let Pujara face the left arm spin man

Kohli & Rahane have given the excuse of Injury & they both know they are automatic picks. 

100 test gadha not playing is a mystery hopefully he stays outta main XI as well.

Of course our senior leaders are making injury excuses whats Ishant and Shami's excuse? Tbh id rather have Siraj playing in place of Ishant for the first test
