England tour of India 2024

Maybe, at some point, but getting older and they are hard work in their first 2 yrs or so.

Tell me about it

Jadeja and Rahul ruled out of 2nd Test with injuries.

Currently 80/1 for 5-0 series win.
Any takers ?

Makes me think what odds you could have got on a 3-0 win in Pakistan.
The big factor with the India series is the return of Kohli from the third game onwards.

Jack Leach ruled out of the second Test due to knee injury.

I suspect he'd have been left out for Anderson anyway given Roots emergence as a third spinner

If they do

I suspect he'd have been left out for Anderson anyway given Roots emergence as a third spinner

if they do that I think Ahmed would have been the one to miss out

Baz was talking about playing 4 spinners - if not in this Test, then in one of the following matches.

I think Anderson was down to play as it was deemed a different pitch soil type, more suited to him.

Anderson in for Wood

Shoaib Bashir in for Leach

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir, James Anderson.

 

[Cooperman]

Jimmy Anderson still taking wickets at the age of 41

 

[Cooperman]

An excellent morning session for England.

Just as I type, Duckett loses his wicket. Then, Pope nearly stumped first ball.

 

[Cooperman]

India as a completely different team without the brilliance that Kohli brings as captain. Sharma is not anywhere near the same level and looks shellshocked, as was case in last game.

Buckle up folks. Stokes is off. Be fun for as long as it lasts.
