I feel Broad is completely ineffective over there.
In my opinion we must play 2 spinners. Keep Samit in if you wish as a 3rd spinner but 2 specialists is essential.
Personally my seamers would be Anderson and Finn if everyone is fit, with Onions replacing Finn if injured. At least Onions provides that consistent line and length to build a bit of pressure on a flat deck. Trott may need to get through 5 or 6 overs an innings but its no biggie. Get Prior up to the stumps for a change and he might even prove to be a tricky customer.

India 5/6
Draw 7/4
England 9/2
England know they'll make at least 1 change with Ian Bell back in England after leaving for the birth of his child - and still missing it the Sherminator doofus - which presents a chance for whoever is called up.
Much ado about the bowlers, obviously given the news Broad is a doubt it should present Panesar with a chance but knowing England they'll just call Meaker into the team and state "too many changes are damaging".

Only saw Meaker a couple of times and can't remember him but does he bowl at 90mph? Don't know why but can remember that being one of his assests but could have been dreaming.
If he does that could be enough to get him into the side for me. Bowl for a few overs at a time and bang it in at 90mph and unsettle the Indians.

Patel isn't good enough with the bat or the ball to get in the team and Morgan is a good player of spin. I think Bunny could do well out there, bowling stump to stump, giving the batsman no width at all.

Yes he is.
He needs to start proving it very soon then, because all his recent chances have done is suggest he isn't good enough to play for England with eithet bat or ball. I'd happily see him dropped in favour of using Pietersen as the 3rd spinner.
He basically didn't get out in the last test to be fair to him!

Anyone seen the Indian team yet? They know their own wickets and whatever they do we should do!
If they pick 4 spinners again then so should we.
