I'm eagerly waiting for September, when India will be touring England, that's going to be tough series for Indians, even tougher than the Australia series.

[@DoFi12]

I don’t think so. The England batting line up is very average. I’d back our bowlers in those conditions to get their batsmen out cheaper than they can ours

[@IamAnnu22]

Don't forget three things : • England's batting was pretty much same in 2018 also, then also they won the series. • England's swing bowling is better than Indian side. • That will be their home conditions, so weather and (if it'll be allowed) crowd will give them more advantage over India.

16:35 That sound that pant makes is a hindi term "laeee laeee" which translates to "take the ball". He is not saying yes or yeah. But sometimes he just screams which is actually to convey that run is tight to batsmen so that singles can be saved.

[@paulidson1483]

Moeen came in when the pressure was off and slogged a few but you can bet your boots if he has to bat properly when the game is in the balance then he will be walking back for single figures. Bess got dropped for bowling a few full tosses and Moeen comes in and bowls more full tosses and half trackers than Bess did. Moeen's nearly 34, it's not like his bowling is going to get any better, I think they need to give Bess a run at it because he is young and can get better.

[@paulidson1483]

@Rip Snorter Leach, Bess and Parkinson are the future. Parkinson is someone who doesn't get mentioned much but he is a young, quality leggie and deserves a shot at it too.

[@vinodchhabria8738]

That is such a foolish comparison, we don't need to be compared, we are our own thing.

[@rockersidF1]

There is enough sledging from the likes of Kohli. But the thing is, he is not scary. It’s Rahane’s steely and composed demeanour that is really scary. Other teams are lucky that our leader is Kohli. If Rahane was more consistent with the bat, and was made the captain, we would win way more test matches abroad.

Indian cricket fan here. These guys are raising and putting India on a pedestal that they do not belong to and is only deserved when they win test series everywhere (I mean all over the world). It's 1-1 and the next test match is a pink ball test. Toss is again important. I expect India to win but victory is not as assured as these guys are making out to be. Hopefully the wicket will offer some assistance to spin as India will need it to win the test. I say GAME ON!!

5:39 Sub continental countries have players ready for spin friendly home tracks but also cultivate players for pacer friendly SENA conditions, meanwhile SENA have players ready for their pacer friendly home conditions but don't bother to cultivate players for spin friendly sub continental conditions. Like Ravi Shastri said "Bhaad mai gaya pitch" which means "To hell with the pitch", with India you're seeing a team being prepared for any kind of conditions. It'll only take great performances on the level of what New Zealand did last year to defeat India.
