Yeah.
This was always going to be a development tour for us. Now we've got two good young spinners who we can move forward with.
Let's see what happens in four years' time with no Ashwin or Jadeja.
Yeah, that's how I see it. Think I said at the start of the tour - we should see this as a development opportunity for our spinners, who've performed really well.
Throwing forward to our next tour of India, Crawley, Pope and Brook should all...
Didn't realise he'd dropped one. Since that 50 he's had an absolute shocker. No runs, no wickets and a drop.
Think I might be looking to move on from him at the end of the series (would be great if he proves me wrong tomorrow though).
Didn't think that was a very smart innings from Foakes to be honest. He was always going to get a delivery with his name on it, so maybe it would have been bitter to try swiping a few boundaries while he was in.
Yeah. At the end of the day, we're missing one of our best batsmen, our most experienced finger spinner, our brilliant young wrist-spinner and our fastest bowler, who presumably couldn't play this game.
We're relying on two kids, one of whom...
We've got to change the momentum somehow. Just prodding and poking is going to do nothing, other than tiring the pitch out for a few overs.
Still think we've got a big chance. Feel like picking Robinson rather than a quicker seamer might come...
Yeah I think Hartley is in now for that very reason.
They'll all get plenty of game time with injuries, rotation and the need to play two spinners. Plus Rehan may end up batting in the top six.
