Get in! The Indians will be absolutely gutted, they were fuming about this, think they assumed he would get banned.

All I want Jimmy to do now is keep his mouth shut and play cricket.

there may be more to come but there is definitely no ban. this is the most ridiculous case ever imo. might have cost a few grand to get the judge

Yep, just bowl like he did at Southampton, he has the number of a few of their batsmen, and they know it.
Yeah there will be, but he will play in the next 2 tests, all that is important really.
Indians should be embarrassed over how they have reacted

Their batsmen are poor in these conditions and will continue to be so.

playing at old trafford which should be pumped up especially when jadeja is involved. just read bumble on the skysports app and he stated he thinks the indians being superstars in india, expect to be treated differently, but they are not thought like that over here and will get plenty in manchester

Being pumped up is one thing...but he needs to play cricket and leave the other stuff alone. Just get on with the game, ffs.

Yeah I read that, totally agree with him. Apparently the judgement took 10 minutes, says it all.
What even is Jadeja? Just seems to hit and hope with the bat and bowls like a one day bowler, every ball fired in. No idea why he is even in their team.
Nothing wrong with sledging in my opinion, probably wise to keep a lid on it this week, but it makes him bowl better IMO.

Since the real characters went out of the game, the sledging shite has become tiresome.
My opinion of course.

Be surprised if Jadeja plays. Theyve surely got better players ?....let England win, but let's have a test.

there was talk that ashwin was coming in. this series is on big style now. we need to show this aggresive style of batting and bowling again. only way we wil rattle the aussies next year, mixing odi hitting with trest match batting
It certainly helped batting first, Cook was able to be Cook the opener again, rather than Captain Cook tired from fielding. If we can bat like that having bowled first then maybe we can start some kind of meaningful recovery and have a chance of getting our urn back next year.
Buzzing for Old Trafford now.

He's a batsman with three treble hundreds to his name back in India
Surely no point in batting him 8 when Ashwin can certainly hold a bat and is such a better bowler.

I know all about his record in India, but what has he been picked as? He seems to just go in at number 8 and have a slog. Bizzare, if he is a top line batsmen, then promote him up the order, and make him bat like one.

no decision reverse system
its duncan fletcher stirring it for me. he did it for england v the aussies, now he is at it again
Dexter

He's out of his depth in these conditions, tried to bat properly in his first few innings and then just chanced his arm at Lord's.
Seems to have been picked as a bowling all rounder. It's actually a pick that I could see England making - leaving out your best slow bowler because the other bloke can bat a bit.
Given that they booed Warner there last year I think Jadeja will get it if he plays. Went to the Durham v Lancs game the other week and my Dad commented that he was surprised at how partisan the crowd was.
Having said that, Jadeja or maybe more likely Sharma have to make way for Ashwin. I know he didn't bowl well against England on our last tour there but he's still a good spinner, miles better than their current options and he's a capable batsman. You absolutely need a spinner at Old Trafford too.
