By the way, were choices of Shubman Gill and Harry Brooks as player of series right at the end of series?
 
Actually props to @mominsaigol man was gutsy to make such call and England almost pulled off a 370+ chase while a man down.

England only needed like 42 runs with 6 wickets in hand with 90% win chance at that point.
I made a call based of pitch and conditons but england botched it at the end.

I knew 373 wasnt going to be enough as pitch would not deteriorate but oh well, England bottle job and bethall being a clown is nothing new.

Baz picked Gill. Gauti picked Brooks. Gill is not a terrible choice. But from what i heard Baz picked Gill even yesterday before the match was over. If he had picked today he probably would have picked Siraj. But Brooks is a weird pick. Obviously Stokes should have been the one as he won two MOM awards. If not Root.
 
ECB uploaded highlights. Seeing first few balls, both Overton and Atkinson played really well. Overton was unlucky with a marginal call.

FTB Jaimie Smith was completely clueless against the moving ball. I hope Scot Boland will have field day with this guy in Ashes.
 
India pulled off a great win. Siraj gets all the credit for his gutsy bowling on the final day... England has the game in the bag but they choked.

Both him and brook are victims of the reckless bazball mentality. As talented batters as they are, they could score even more runs if they used half their brain.
Jamie Smith has already proven himself in tough conditions against the moving ball. Also a far better player of spin than Brook, proved it in 3rd test in pindi last year on a turner.
He should smash washed up Lyon in the ashes.
 
Despite Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Gujarat not in the team, Young team India scored a brilliant win to level the series

That is how they have won so many tests. why would they change? That is his pet shot much like defensive shot for many. Pant does it all the time. So does Jaiswal. Besides most of the time ENgland plays that way because they don't have sound defense. They are not technically good apart from Root.
