Dropping him and going with Jadeja and Thakur on the England tour was one of the best captaincy decision Kohli ever took. Wish we start grooming Axar and Sundar for overseas tests. Link to comment
singhprakash72 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 India should have finished this series last year on a high note...will be really difficult to put up with this English side which has the momentum. I don't expect anything special from this Indian side which has players saturated by IPL, injuries , captaincy change, lack of batting depth and lack of match practice all going against. England will have to play really bad to make a contest out of this IMO. rageaddict and nevada 2 Link to comment

If wood woakes and ollie is back then yes. Best time to beat India for England. India is not in form, players are injured and we have selection issues. However India is looking to pick bumrah prasidh shami and thakur. Jaddu will be back to hit the trundlers. Remember what he did to starc and hazelt4undler in Australia once the pitch flattened. If India picks the best side it beats England quite easily. Link to comment

Have literally stopped counting the number of times we have thrown out wickets to the trundlers who keep bowling at outside offstump channel. We generally do well vs high pace and spin.

Yea that's true but last time we hit those same trundlers lol. Ollie woakes Anderson and wood. We actually beat a full strength England team. Only missing stokes. Lees is mediocre. Link to comment

England should fill their team with trundlers and then compete against us, may stand a better chance. Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Englands tail is looking longer than I remember it in some time. If they go in with the same team that they are playing against Nzl that will also be something to keep in mind. They have generally not been a dominant team at home as much as one which is very hard to beat with atg new ball bowlers in helpful conditions and weak batting but with good depth that get them to good totals. Players like Woakes, Ali, Rashid, Overton, Curran etc. Edited June 21, 2022 by rollingstoned express bowling 1 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 we are going to get annihilated,the lone batsman in any form is out with a groin injury.we will see soon how fragile this batting lineup is and that it needs a complete overhaul starting with cutting the biggest wart in Kohli.

express bowling Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 If Bumrah and Shami are fit and firing then we have a great chance of winning this test. England batting lacks quality apart from Root and Stokes. And their bowling is dependant primarily on Anderson who will be tired after this series vs NZ. We have to keep in mind these weaknesses and be very confident. SRT100 and Norman 1 1 Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Can we play an extra batsman since this is traditionally a seamers track. We need assurance for our brittle batting. Rohit Gill Pujara Kohli Iyer Vihari Pant Thakur Bumrah Shami Siraj Link to comment

Overton got creamed by umesh and broke his arm. That was fun to see the racist prick get violated a bit. If India play at their best this should be easy. Link to comment

Average in SENA? Or leave it, anyways Jadeja can pick wickets in 4th inning and now we have Vihari also to bowl off spin. Would Vihari off spin do it? But Jadeja is a left hander also.

His bowling is just an added bonus. He's one of our MVPs in SENA tests. No point in playing an extra "specialist batter" just for the sake of it. coffee_rules, AuxiliA and express bowling 1 2 Link to comment
