4th Test: India v England at Mumbai on Dec 8-12, 2016

[TheParraboy]

Series 2-0 to India, 2 tests to play

If England can manage a win here, then all 5 test matches were "live" tests. That's a pretty good achievement in India

Though expecting team India to roll them here , and roll them well

Ashwin is like Warnie over there, but Xavier Doherty everywhere else.

 

[Bazal]

People say that, but his average outside India is still better than Nathan Lyons career average. Doesn't say much for the supposed GOAT...

Wow now there's a plodder I forgot all about.

If England pick gareth batty again you'll soon be reminded of the X man.

 

[Mr Bean]

According to espn Broad should be back and Keaton Jennings will debut for the injured Hameed.
Pitched tipped to spin out by the 3rd day. If India win the toss Eng are stuffed. If Eng win the the toss they are probably still stuffed.

We've had our share.

Bryce McGain is probably the ploddiest, but we've had Ray Bright, Nathan Hauritz, Jason Krejza & Cameron White were all Grade A plod.

Beau Casson even got a start in a test in the Windies.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England win the toss and bat. 0/62 thus far.

 

[Tommy Smith]

The post Warne and MacGill spin era sure hasn't been pretty!

And yes, outside India where the pitches look like sandpits Ashwin is an overrated plod.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Not as empty as the post Jim Laker era.

Jennings a ton on debut 103*

wonder if kholi will spend time in the sheds with the youngster? (like he did with hameed after the 3rd test)

Couple of good opening bats coming through for England. I dare say Nick Compton and Adam Lyth won't see test cricket anytime soon if ever again.

I see that and raise that with Mark Haslam, Mark Priest, Greg Loveridge, Brooke Walker, Shane Thomson, I'm sure there's a truckload more.

 

[Iafeta]

I see Jennings is a product of England's South African colony.

 

[JJ]

Ashwin is like Warnie over there, but Xavier Doherty everywhere else.

Funny that because Warnie was a bit like Doherty in India

Nice debut ton from the Jaapie

Where's Johannesburg? That's in England!
