English fast bowling is in good hands...Robinson, Woakes, Overton, Joffra, Wood. Whenever Anderson and Broad decide to retire, the next generation is more than ready to take the mantle from them.
Lol, as if it was ever in doubt.We will lose this test.
Don't relax, here comes the another one(Rahane)Pathetic Pujara gone.
Rahane comes to resurrect his career now. Wish him success people

To justify Kohli's decision to play Jadeja as a specialist bat!jadeja in at 5, this isnt IPL rahane was padded up ready to go aswel
To justify Kohli's decision to play Jadeja as a specialist bat!
Do you know even some Indian fans here justify playing Jadeja as a specialist bat?I hope this backfires, im not an indian fan but i still feel Ashwin is miles better than Jadeja and should be here instead.
We failed miserably with the bat in both innings during the last test. Guess what? We changed our bowling lineup instead and not a single bat is dropped for this test!
If this isn't pig-headedness what else it is?
If this was Pakistan fans would be talking about our struggles against C / D list bowling however like you mentioned fact is even down to Z list bowlers England have a vast array of talent that would break into many other first teams easily. Robinson is a brilliant find aswel , Curran brothers , overton , mahmood more than able deputies, archer broad stokes not even featuring here , woakes come in and leads the charge list goes on and on.
If there is no alternative on a tour then the fault lies with the team management only.I actually dont think there is any alternative. I dont want anyone else to come in and get exposed on this pitch. Might ruin their careers. Let the likes of rahane fail properly here.

Jadeja looks clueless in these conditions against the English seamers, why has he been promoted to 5? lol Kohli trying to surpass even himself in the odd decision making stakes.
and he's been batting better than actual specialist bats so far
Rohit is just a beast at home but away, he is inconsistent too. Rahul is also inconsistent.
But atleast they score. Shaw and Mayank are walking wickets overseas.
If team management doesn't have any confidence in rahane why play him? Drop and play another batter
Possibly they thought that all top 5 being right handers is allowing the bowlers to keep bowling the same lines without much adjustment required.
There are two rules for Playing Against Kohli Club.
1. You do not drop Kohli
2. You do NOT! DROP! KOHLI!
Specialist bat gone cheaply yet again...and he's been batting better than actual specialist bats so far
I think the idea could be to try nd make use of jadeja's ability to hang in there and get rahane n pant to bat against an older ball
Nothing shot from Jadeja, really.
Even bizarre is his selection in 5 consecutive tests which are being played in England!Bizarre move promoting him up the order in these conditions. Not his sphere
