Captain's favourites

Smith prefers Wade over Haddin  ?

Cartwright looks real good with bat in hand.

With the ball though.... He looks more of a Paul Collingwood, Younus Khan, Jonathan Trott (maybe Angelo Mathews / Steve Waugh at a push) type slow wobbly seamer than anything.

Still think Mitch Marsh has the greater potential. Not sure Cartwright could be a legitimate part of a 5 man attack, if they get stuck in the dirt for 120 overs.

Marsh seems to have lost the extra pace he had last summer

If India where clever they'd pencil in a Test series against Pakistan. Pakistan's bowling is pathetic and Kohli would fancy smashing all over the place. In particular Yasir 'can't spin, won't spin' Shah, Kohli could probably pension him off...

Cartwright using some classy looking Bradbury kit. Nice to see a smaller brand being used on the Test stage.

Has Slats had work done?

As soon as YK and misbah retire, the BCCI will pencil it in.

Quite possibly!

India vs Pak is now a political problem. India is attempting to isolate Pak within the international community. I don't see a chance to resume cricket ties any time soon. Odd clashes in ICC events would be the only chance for Ind vs Pak game.

Quite possibly!

Well its either that or an over zealous makeup department.

Misbah continues to keep Lyon in the team by continually gifting his wicket to him. Time misbah retires, he's not scored anything on this tour

Saw this on twitter: "Big upsides of Matthew Wade's stomach bug is that he's caught something and he's got runs"

Handscomb seems decent. Though clearly his batting is not the only thing unorthodox!

Amazing stat, Lyon's last 5 wicket haul was 27 test matches ago. How has he not been dropped!

Because you need someone better to replace him, he is our best spinner currently.
