I only really agree with dumping someone like Malan if there is someone knocking the door down. There isn't. You're just bringing in someone else who will contribute the same, if not less than, the man they dropped and in 9 or 10 months he's back in and you create a merry go round.

second test beings tomorrow. i hope india drop some of the underpefrorming batsmen and pick both PANT and NAIR. Now England is India and India is England. Pant scored 50 in practise match but the senior player Karthick will get the chance even if he failed many times.
There is a talk of both teams playing 2 spinners or may be I got it wrong.
frankly, both KARTHICK and PANT can play. DHAWAN and RAHUL need to go. VIJAY and RAHANE should be retained based on the fact that they were consistent during the last leg of international tours.

Odds on Pope getting a duck? I've got a tenner that says he lasts three balls. Obviously I want him to do well, just a feeling I've got.

Malan hasn't produced for five tests now, outside of 2 innings How long does he merit a place when he's not getting the job done? I agree about the merry go round and lack of options, but how long does a top order batsman get carte blanche in your book?

Personally, I think a selector should be asking one question: who are the eleven players most likely to win me a match. Now unless someone's hammering the door down with runs galore in FC or List A cricket, I'll take a bloke whose made test tons and, just 7 months ago, was far and away their best player in a tough overseas tour in Oz. I don't think 'meriting a spot' is relevant unless there's clearly someone better to come in. If that's the thinking you're dropping one man who doesn't merit a spot to bring in someone else who doesn't either.

VIJAY RAHANE KOHLI NAIR PANT KARTHICK ASHWIN PANDYA KULDEEP/UMESH ISHANT SHAMI Pandya's bowling avearge this year outside of India has been something 122. I question his place in Test team. India has now become England who used to hand out 100s of international appearance to players like Ravi Bopara and even try them in more than 10 Tests.
If Pandya plays as batsman then fine otherwise I really do not agree with bits and pieces cricketers.
Rahane has turned into a joke now.
England is impressing me more and more. My orignally prediction was 3-1 victory for England but it could get even better for them.

Gutted. Was looking forward to a bit of cricket today. Forecast looks like more of the same for tomorrow.

India skittled for 107. Any chance of a result in this match?

I see no reason why result can't come unless we have lots of disruption.
England on their way for complete white-wash! Anderson the best bowler on seaming track in this millennium. Well done Jimmy.

Yeah, rolling a team in a session is a pretty good way to play catch up on lost time.

Last time I looked at the forecast it seemed better for the next three days, so fingers crossed.

india is ranked number one in the world now. this could change drastically after this test series. of course, we might regain the status after sri lanka tours india later this year.

Didn't think Chris had it in him. To quite Geoff Boycott "Well played young man." Pretty much buried the match with that hundred.

Buttler comes to play most games, too, including this one.
