What are the key battles in the 1st test

First lets predict the two sides if we dont mind ?

[WalkingWicket37]

England

Cook
Robson
Ballance
Bell
Root
Ali
Stokes
Prior
Plunket
Broad
Anderson

I won't bother trying to guess India's side as I don't have a scooby.

England to get dicked 3-1

[tejasapatel]

Dhoni, Pujara, Kohli, Ashwin, Ishant, Rohit, Shami, Bhuvneshvar, Binny, Murli.

2nd opener Dhawan or Gambhir can't call between the two as I would like to retain a left right combo at the top otherwise i'd pick both of these lefties before Murli.

Cook, Prior,Bell, Robson,root, stokes, Ali, Anderson,Broad,Plunkett,Jordan

5 seamers & another new number 3 due to no Ballance??

My bad..I don't follow England as closely as you do mostly just scores and results. Yes Ballance did good against SL so he gets in. Who would you pull out of the 11 above?

Broad Vs Kohli: I can see this battle a mile off.

England to win the series.

Stokes is only just returning and Jordan did okay without setting the world alight so one of those two. Jordan for me as Stokes is more of an X Factor player.

Anderson v Kohli would be much better in my eyes

[mp07]

I have a feeling Kholi is not going to click, but I have my eye on Pujara vs. Anderson

[mike1989]

England
- Cook, Robson, Ballance, Bell, Root, Ali, Prior, Stokes, Broad, Plunkett, Anderson

Not sure what line up India will go with, but I'm going to predict a 2-1 win for India.

Bold prediction? Cook scores a double hundred.

India's got no chance with that bowling line up unless the pitches are going to turn!
Openers are walking wickets anyway

Same goes for england openers....and especially if they cant even beat sri lanka on their home turf...truly embarrassing !!!!!!!

I predict at least 2 crooked bowlers and an Indian win.

Sri Lanka had much better batting line-up and much experienced which plays vital role in a teams glory especially when you have a young team and are playing offshore.
