2 Changes for England

Bashir & Anderson in for Leach & Wood

Bowling attack with 186 test caps between them.
183 are Andersons

Good move bringing Jimmy back. Hopefully get control from the start.
His record in the sub continent in his latter years is superb.

Posted: **Thu Feb 01, 2024 11:02 am**

Jimmy is 42 in July and still playing Test Cricket at the world’s most challenging environment for a visiting player. He has to go down not only as one of the greatest cricketers of all time but also as one of the best athletes this country has ever produced up there with Sir Jason Kenny, Sir Mo, Sir Steve Redgrave etc.

Bring on that suffix.

The jimmy Anderson statue has been mentioned a few times on the messageboard and where it will eventually be built. A mate has just suggested an angel of the north style job on the m65. Made me laugh.

It's not a hard pitch to bat on currently but this Jaiswal looks pretty good. Thought he was good in the first test aswell.

Posted: **Fri Feb 02, 2024 7:30 am**

Jaiswal 72 - might get a big hundred - looks rock solid

Posted: **Fri Feb 02, 2024 7:32 am**

Bashir back for a bowl replacing Root who's gone for 40 off his 10 overs so far.

that's why he is our best wicketkeeper, Bairstow is decent back up ..

Best wicketkeeper in the world currently for me. Has been for years

Posted: **Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:23 am**

I'm surprised he's not given Rehan a go yet. It's not turning lots, so would have thought a leggy who puts more revs in the ball might have been worth a look.

Posted: **Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:57 am**

Lovely day in Vizag, nice breeze across the ground. Great to see Jimmy get a wicket. Unlike Hyderabad we’ve got water in and there’s a bar a short walk away.

Bashir picks up his 2nd wicket

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 5:50 am**

Jimmy had it on a string as usual this morning.

A beautiful french cut for 4 from Duckett to his first ball. Will be interesting days play.

Look out for Dave Whitehead (Ted) from Lowerhouse, you’ll likely find him with a beer in his hand

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 7:39 am**

Used to be really critical of Crawley but with his size and reach he’s looking fantastic, I think we finally have a decent top order again

I’ve done it again! Bast***

Horrible dismissal from Joe Root.

Following and edging a ball that is wide of the stumps and bouncing over, while not even trying to score. It's a cardinal sin for any batsman, nevermind a decent one.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 8:18 am**

Pope now to a yorker

It was a decent set up by bumrah to be fair aswell.
Pope now gone after a cracking yorker from bumrah.

It was and he's a very good bowler, but a batsman will spend hours and hours practicing defence and not following the ball. Especially someone who grew up in Yorkshire on seaming pitches.

As much as I can't stand listening to KP, he spotted his head position being outside the off stump straight away. He needs to work on it to get back in form.
