Hope this year's series is actually available on Sky Go, unlike the ODI series there a couple of years ago when it was only available on the boxes themselves.
 


Cook
Compton
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Prior
Patel
Bresnan
Broad
Anderson
Swann

No surprises. Thought Onions may have pipped Bresnan given he bowls stump to stump and Bresnan won't be as effective on slow pitches; but expected Bresnan to play regardless.

f***ing wankers. If I was an umpire I'd give the opposition the benefit of every doubt on the basis that the Indian c*nts think they run International cricket.

The Sky cricket Twitter was having a whinge before because the BCCI won't even let the broadcasters show the predictive element of hawkeye.

Must admit, I'd love to see him wrongly get given out at some point this series as a direct result of NOT having DRS, since he appears to be the main instigator in the BCCI's constant vetoing of the rules everyone else is bound by.

This. As good a player he is, he is a wanker. He also refused to shift up a position when the team asked him to.

The question they are having for viewers to text in about is "We dont ever question Sachin, but is it better to have wait a little before attacking the bowlers?"

Since when did losing to India, in India, become such a bad result? They are possibly the toughest nut to crack on home soil out of all the test sides.

since the majority of supporters deemed us the best in the world after a decent run of fixtures and turning over the worse Aussie side in the last 50 years on their home patch

The rankings had us at No.1.

Tbf any win in Australia is a good result.

At the moment tests cricket is full of sides who are great on home soil and rank average away from home (South Africa may be a possible exception).

A sad indicement of the way the 'test championship' works.

Im sure a series against Kiwi, WI or Bangladesh cant be far away
