Could be worse, could be Ch4 taking the host nation feed like last time.

I had to mute the TV last time such was the overwhelming bias of the Indian commentators
Remember that, was horrific. Looking forward to this series but don’t have much hope at all for England.

Nah. We'll get spun out as usual. Would need Root and Brook to have the series of their lives to at least give our bowlers something to defend

The highlight of the last series over there was Kohli getting bowled through the gate and refusing to walk. So the umpires reviewed it :emoticon-0140-rofl:

Just the 105m hit from Klaasen today. Outrageous when he gets motoring....

I know we’ll be up against it but I’m really looking forward to Thursday morning. Just hope England can put up a good fight.

If we can start on the front foot (like we did in Pakistan) then we can compete, but it can't all be hell-for-leather Bazball. There will be times where we have to dig in, especially if they prepare dust bowls

Going to be interesting to see how we line up. Pope will come back in a 3 and Brook's family issues might open the door for Foakes. With Stokes not bowling, not sure 4 bowlers + Root will cut it.....
