If haseeb hameed has found his game back, great selection 

[Ankit_sharma03]

They shud play an all out pace attack

They shud have selected moeen ali, the guy has screwed us in past and can do it again

[deepdynamo]

 - Woakes, Stone and Archer misses out due to injuries.
- Moin Ali misses out too.
- Haseen Hamid is back after 5 years

Probable first test XI

Burns

Sibley 
Bairstow 
Root
Stokes

Danger man is Sam Curran and Robinson.

Can someone add some extra Reshampatti mirapkai pudi in Anderson's and Sam Curran's Chicken Tikka Masala?  

[QuarantineTormentino]

This side is relatively weaker than the ones we’ve played in the past, this is our best chance to beat them

[Sgattick10]

Tbh bowling doesnt look menacing, but its England and 130kphs swingers rule 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Robinson wud be raring to go n make his name, what better batsman then ours who has made many debutants or newcomers have great start

Not really.  It's all about balance which England have for those conditions. Toss will matter.

[Norman]

Only for the first two tests not the whole series. 

[Norman]

That batting looks weak just like in 2018. It'll again come down to their 8-11 against our 8-11 and we all know how that'll go. 

 

Lawrence will most likely play at 3 and Pope at 5/6.

[mishra]

England will miss Archer and Woakes. Apart from Anderson, the bowling attack doesn’t look menacing at all even in English conditions

Curran, Broad n Robbinson wud be very threatening in these condition

Archer in test is not that big a miss

Yup. Eng will rack up good totals even if their top order fails.

 

In contrast India will be knocked over quickly once past the misfiring top order. 

[maniac]

No Archer and Woakes?

 

I think the batting looks average but then their bowling might be too good for our batsmen

I just hope Kohli has the sense to rotate his pacers throughout the series and manage their workload properly. Plus I pray to god we don’t have a pacer breaking down in the middle of a match which seems to happen at least once everytime we tour England for tests

v good point. In 2 of the 5 matches lower order screwed us. This continues in nz and then wtc.. but we still don’t learn.. why cant shami practice a bit more or for that matter bumrah. We dont need 50s. We just need 10 runs each from 9 10 11. Those 30 runs can make and break a game..

[Lone Wolf]

I have little hopes from our batting compared to what I had in 2018 but let's see.  As long as Pujara doesn't plays I will be happy.  Playing with Pujara in England means playing with 10 players. 

Rahul must play in middle order.  He maybe the X factor player in batting. 

Guys like Shardul & Siraj must start the series.   They both have that Champion attitude.  They will put up a fight if they play. 

 

Sam Curran is the dangerman for us & Zak Crawley (gun barrel straight bowling will smacked by him)

I dunno what happened to Shami man, he used to be a decent lower order batsman..I mean I still remember his and Bhuvi’s partnership in the 2014 test series (I think we drew that match)
