Why can’t the team that won the ODI vs SA be India’s test team with the following changes - Gill for Rohit, Jurel for Ruturaj, Bumrah &Siraj for Prasidh & Arshdeep. Jadeja or Axar ok. It will be a formidable unit instead of the bits and pieces team we have now.
Gill all class and elegance in this knock. Treat to watch. 👏🏼👏🏼
Was India sufficiently fired up on the 5th morning.?There was a need for a spark, an aggressive game plan or tactics to shock and awe. None in evidence. Inspired coaching and/or captaincy missing? #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG
Bridge too far for India eventually. Lower order batting collapses, dropped catches being the key diff. Lots to think about Maybe Arshdeep for Prasidh to have variety in pace attack. And Reddy or Sundar for Thakur based on ground conditions. #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG

Good bowling by the three pacers but have to commend the batters. 5th day pitch doing a thing or two - variable bounce and cracks, footmarks etc but they have been resolute and calculating. Run rate over 4.5. #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG
Given the state of the pitch and minus Bumrah the weakness of pace attack, India may well rue the absence of a frontline spinner on day 5. Should they have played W. Sundar or K. Yadav instead of Thakur? He has contributed a total of 5 runs and figures of 6-0-38-0 so far

The English bowlers have not been consistent. They got lucky before lunch with a rash shot from Rahul and a nervous debutant. The quickies have to find some inspiration here to exert pressure. #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG #ENGvIND
Will Jaiswal settle his nerves now? He has played some good strokes, but it’s been a nervy innings so far. Lots of hits and misses. #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG #ENGvIND

Sai Sudarshan should not feel too bad. A number of great batsmen started with a duck on debut. 😀. It’s a good omen buddy. #ENGvsIND
First blood for England. Rahul Rahul… just a few minutes to lunch!! #ENGvsIND
English Bowlers struggling a bit to get their line & length right. Woakes only one so far to make an impression. Time to start questioning decision to bowl first? Some good strokes by the two batters #ENGvsIND
Very un Indialike 😀 #ENGvsIND
Hi. Terrific setting for some good test cricket. Looking forward to a good contest. Stokes has just come on to bowl. #ENGvsIND

Eating humble pie today as both my predictions bit the dust 😞 #NFL
The Rams looking good here to beat Eagles at home. Snow & sleet to intensify as game progresses. Which team can handle that better? #NFL #Playoffs
Tale of two teams on the comeback trail. Good contest. I see the Commanders going thru to the NFC finals. #NFL #Playoffs
Texans making unforced errors - costing them big. Missed FG and PAT will end up being the loss for them. #NFL
My prediction is a Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl matchup. 👍🏽👍🏽

Gambhir’s played with Kohli Ashwin and Rohit. Unlikely they take Gambhir seriously on coaching. He was an avg player in his heyday. Perception that he is coach cause of political connxn. So coach captain and players not on same page clearly. Drops performance in any team when that happens. #AUSvIND
Agree. Great series. Ind seriously short in bowling chops and lacking in batting prowess. Still made a fight of it. Aus too had serious shortcomings but Cummins - what a leader- tactical and inspiring, edged out India. Aus lost Perth and came back strong. Ind imploded. Diff is leadership. #AUSvIND
