Bess bowling pies! The full toss might have worked in the first innings

Fantastic win by England.

6th away win in a row and the best by quite a margin. Most players contributed which is good but Joe Root clear MOM again

Good to see Leach getting back to his best, he really is a cracking bowler when he's match fit and firing. Much better spinner than Bess or Mooen IMO.

Yes absolutely and well handled by Root in the match.
Great win for us but we will need more contributions from the other batters next game.
Root can�t keep us his form.

I would like to see Archer make more of a contribution, our 2 best bowlers are Broad and Anderson still and I�d like to see them play together. It�s hard yards but we want to win

Archer who ripped the lid off the Indian first innings? Knocked over both openers and smashed their two best bats in the gloves, I don't know what more you could ask for from your opening quick! Really good spell before lunch today too.

England stuffing India away feels weird.

Root can't keep up this form forever but would you bet against him scoring another couple of centuries before this series is done? Not forgetting that Stokes and Sibley both got 80 odds first innings.

Well!! What a great start to 2021.
Confidence must be high in the team, and the team changes in the next test or two will show us whether cricket is fully embracing the squad mentality so common in other sports

Yes he bowled a few quick deliveries over the course of a five day match.Hes a non batter at test level by the looks of it so totally understand the rotation policy England are using....these first two tests are back to back I think.

We have options in the squad for just a bowling position, I'd like to see out best two play to see if we can get another victory or a draw in the next match.

The quickest would be Stone if he's fit and there is also Woakes as options.

I'm gonna guess England have Jimmy in for the second test and Broad could be in so its who you leave out.

I've not seen myself any deterioration in Broad over the last year or so and Anderson has been superb this match.

Certainly options available to us, if we are going to win or draw this series we need more contributions I reckon than a few quick deliveries.

3rd test is a Day nighter isn't it? So wouldn't surprise me to see Anderson rested for the second test and Broad come in.

edge · « **Reply #354 on:** February 09, 2021, 09:36:16 AM »

Yeah, given a three day break between tests, I wouldn't be surprised if Broad came in for Jimmy and possibly even Stone for Archer

rickjames · « **Reply #355 on:** February 09, 2021, 09:40:03 AM »

Only change I'd make is Broad for Anderson then Jos obviously moving aside for Foakes.

ppccopener · « **Reply #356 on:** February 09, 2021, 09:41:16 AM »

This is where resting/rotating bowlers gets mighty difficult.

Anderson broke thru today with a superb spell. Ideally you want to rotate once the series is safe but that's not going to happen here.

Tough call on the management this next team selection

England have set a decent precedent recently with rotating Jimmy and broad, would any of us left broad out for the second test in Sri Lanka? No but they did

I think silverwood has been very clear with the pair of them about when they will play, no matter how well the other does

Archer bowled really well this game imo, he will bowl worse and take a hat full, he probably earned wickets at the other end. His spell to Ashwin today could easily have got a wicket and he got kohli and pujara uncomfortable and hit them both first innings in a slowish deck

As we've said before Archer has a better record than either Anderson or Broad at the equivalent stage of their careers. He certainly contributed to this win, its not easy bowling quick in India. Are you expecting him to blast India out on these featherbeds?

The rotation between Anderson and Broad is to PREVENT injury rather than anything to do with performance deterioration. They are both superbly fit but at their age the body takes longer to heal. And this is when you are most susceptible to injury. Thats not my opinion thats human biology.

I like the variety in this attack, I wouldnt consider Broad and Anderson together unless there is a real green seamers wicket and that is very unlikely.

six and out · « **Reply #359 on:** February 09, 2021, 11:21:25 AM »

For me the only change is Broad for Anderson. Then Foakes for Jos as he goes home obviously. Which is a shame as I thought there was a marked improvement in has keeping.

You have to consider just a 2 day gap between tests and then the possibility of Root losing the toss and us bowling on a road like this wicket was for the 1st 2 days of the test.
