Wonder how effective Broad would be on Sri Lankan pitches?

We won't need any seamers in Sri Lanka, the pitches have been sandpits against Australia and South Africa. We will need 3 spinners minimum and then probably Stokes and Woakes as seaming options

Sarfaraz was recently asked why Pak has been able to perform better than other asian teams in Eng. As an Indian fan, as much as it pains me to agree with the Pak skipper, the point he made did make a lot of sense.

He put it down to Pak always arriving early (25 days) to England and playing 2-3 practice games before the first test. This would give them sufficient time to acclimatize to the conditions. Sadly with India and their packed schedule, there is no time to acclimatize. Its just one series after another. OF course there are other factors, but I definitely think this is one the biggest ones.

Very poor decision. Curran effectively won the first test for us, genuinely shocked.

The main factor is that they have good swing bowlers. India, to be blunt, don't.

Not sure I agree with that decision.


And although had a n other been dropped, the batting line up would have been stronger, we can’t moan it’s weaker with said decision.

Although it must have been a very tough decision regarding who to drop - i really think they have made the wrong one.

Surely it had to be Rashid or Buttler - dependent on whether Root really thinks he is going to need a spinner etc....

I know they have swapped like for like regards allrounders but we had the chance to give ourselves an extra bowling option and/or strengthen the batting

Don’t agree with this decision! For me the left arm angle provides some variety plus the team has just won convincingly, why would you change it?!

shocking decision to drop Curran. Man of the match in the first test bowled and batted well in the second then dropped because stokes can play again.

England won the last game very convincingly and I can’t see why you would change that team

Sam Curran dropped?!!!

I guess the same "wisdom" that appointed Root as captain is probably behind this decision as well. Truly dumb!
