There are going to be so many memes on this!

Anderson nearing his maiden century...India and it's inability to finish off a tail has always been a problem.

This match is going for a draw...such a batting wicket

[Gerry SA]

Surely England have got to have a better spinner than the bearded wonder?

Ali is absolutely rubbish. Getting flogged around at 6+ RPO is dreadful.

No pressure what so ever from his bowling. Just like throw downs

[Wickets-then-runs]

Hold the phone, Reg! This is getting interesting all of a sudden!

Cook has just taken a wicket 

[Jason_Yuan]

so Kerrigan added to the 2nd test squad, good choice i guess, you can't rely on Ali who isn't really a full time spinner and with the dry pitch surely Kerrigan will do the job? Agree/Disagree?

[Gerry SA]

Can't see Kerrigan being able to treaten India.

He's not a containing bowler.

Plus if Kerrigan plays, Stokes would likely miss out.

Thus meaning that if Ali and Kerrigan get flogged around, England will basically be a 3 man attack.

Cook's bowling and wicket were quite entertaining.
Ballance's spin bowling looked quite decent in fairness. Maybe 3 spinners of Kerrigan, Root and Ballance together can make up for swanns absence?

[Manormanic]

Difficult, isn't it? 

Of the six batsmen only Cook could really be argued to deserve omission.

Three seamers plus Keggsy would not work.

So it has to be either the status quo or Kerrigan for Ali I guess.

Watching Cook bowl was brilliant. Any idea what speed he was bowling at? If he is as quick as me, there is hope for me yet!

[smilley792]

His "quicker" stuff was 55-57. His first over was 42!!

[wayward_hayward]

It looked soooo slow on TV. 

[farnham_quins_2]

It looked very very slow. I think that was kinda the point though.

Hope to see it again some time, for entertainment value

[calcurtis98]

So this Kerrigan, what county team is he playing for?
