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.

i agree, i think they wil play two spinners and ashwin has always appeared to hold a bat. i know its not cricket and all that, but the aussies whipped up their crowds in te winter and if england are to progress we need some of that. looking back to 2005 and the crowds were rocking back then, series 10/11 over there our crowd got stuck in as well. i am not advocating physical stuff but quality barracking and not letting anything lie

I understand you....but its all about the Aussies for me. I just can't get wound up against India. While they have some good players and should provide a challenge on paper....they don't cause me any real angst. It's like being nasty to your granny.

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.

Exactly yeah, which it makes it more bizarre that Ashwin averages nearly 40 in tests.

I think they might both play this game, as Sharma is out, which is a big bonus for us.

I know what you are saying, but I have a theory that we benefited at Southampton because of the Sunday start, low crowds, and maybe feeling less pressure.

One thing the Indian lads are used to is playing in front of big crowds, especially one day stuff
