I'd like to see that team too

Sounds like it'll be a very important toss to win - bat first while the pitch is still... a pitch

Cook (c)
Compton
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Patel
Prior (wk)
Broad
Swann
Panesar
Anderson


This should be the team but I can't see England being that brave unfortunately.

Exactly what I'd pick. But like you said they wont be that brave.

Another motorway it seems like...

Sewag wearing two different brand gloves? Sg on his top hand and bas on his bottom hand?

[Village Trundler]

Is Bresnan on a holiday or something? He is just rolling the arm over.... No pace at all!

I've got no time for sloggers in test matches!!!!

Disappointed in England to say the least. Why can't we look at the opposition team and see that at least two proper spinners is minimum. C'mon lads it took us long enough to realise in the UAE that we needed 2 proper spinners

How do you shut up an indian crowd? Dismiss Tendulkar!

I think the argument is that they played with two spinners lost and drew. Then played with one spinner and won.

But I agree two spinners is needed on this wicket and Broad/Bresnan have been poor in my eyes, for what they can do.

On green tops prepared by India

i think the other issue was broad's injury coming into the game... would you want to pick two seamers only, especially if one has just come back from a minor injury

Then don't pick the injured one.

I don't think Bresnan's been fully fit since his elbow surgery...  He's had a lot of strapping on it ever since...
