England tour of India 2024

[Cooperman]

Sounds a very tiring trip but a great experience, enjoy your time there. Please take some good luck for the team with you.

The alternative is to laze around a Delhi hotel until Monday which seems a bit of a waste. Dharamshala cricket stadium looks like one of those must see sporting arenas, so let’s see if I can work it out. No pain, no gain.

Have a great trip, but don't eat anything you're not sure of, friend of mine went out there with work, had a few to many Kebabs and ended up with the dreaded Deli Belly, he reckons that he used about 3 tubs of Sudocrem to ease the constant pain from the ring sting.

The hotel I stay in has got a restaurant with one of those cooking stations where you watch your grub being cooked. They have a tandoor oven which knocks out the finest naan and chicken kebabs! The key to survival is plenty of hand sanitizer and to be ultra careful around tap water, with a back up plan of a wash bag full of Imodium.

I'll stick to the Balearic's for my Holibobs, Thanks

Not sure I'd have rested Wood for this, yes he bowled a lot of overs in the previous test but so did Anderson (who's a lot older ).
Win the toss and bat first

After inspecting the wicket, Stokes said, "I have never seen something like that before." - there's already cracks showing.

I wouldn't fancy batting last.

There's also showers forecast for day 3 & 5.

India resting Bumrah, might say alot about the wicket.

 

[Cooperman]

Nobody mention the cricket…

Joe Root. Loves him I do.

 

[Niigata Jack]

Joe Root. Loves him I do.

He at last managed to turn up today, must have slept well last night, well not exactly last night, but you know what I mean.

 

[Swanjaxs]

England's to lose this! Anderson to blow the tail away in five overs tomorrow morning

 

[Cooperman]

I am glad that we won't be batting last on this. The variable bounce is already evident and the pitch cracks will only get bigger as time goes on.

I am optimistic of a 5th Test decider.

A leed of a hundred or so on that wicket would be gold dust

Yep. Can’t afford to have 9,10 and 11 knocking 20’s and 30’s out.
