But it's hard to feel like an underdog when you have a James Anderson in your team. To me, he's without doubt the greatest British sportsperson currently plying their trade.

chrisjpainter Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Team changes: Archer injured; Anderson and Buttler rested; Bess dropped Broad, Woakes, Fokes, Moeen Ali and Olly Stone in for the 12. Thoughts? One of those five will miss out and it won't be Fokes or Ali, given it's India and we need two spinners...and a wicket keeper. My money is that they'll go with Broad and one of either Stone or Woakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 For sure it will be Broad a bit worried about Archer he does seem prone to this type of injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I got up early today. Put on Sky to watch the cricket. Thought “that’s strange I thought the cricket started today”. Fell asleep in the chair. Realised later it was on C4 Just like the last test which I managed to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Very challenging conditions for any batsmen new to the crease. It’s a shame with 2 great sides that the biggest factor is who gets to bat on the pitch whilst it’s reasonably behaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robden Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 What a wicked wicket........entertaining though. I think that the key to winning this test was winning the toss and batting first, knowing that this wicket will just keep getting worse for batting. I expect the bowlers love it.
