Willey at 7 by the looks of it. Not a balanced side at all

Agreed, if we lose early wickets we're in big trouble of being bowled out again.

England have selected heavy in the bowling department.

And dekock gone early

 

[Billy Dean]

England have got de Kock out early. Never a bad thing

 

[Tommy Chong]

When he's on form he's hard to play against, but when he isn't, he's like premature ejaculation: 'De Kock in, De Kock out...'

Willey too short

 

[Walken]

Willey is such an average player. If topley and Willey are your strike bowlers then you are well short.

Another power play lost

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Both of these fancy Woods - using his pace against him

 

[PITA]

Just read the most recent posts on this thread and it would seem that Kock's out and the willey is too short.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Dussen and Hendricks both ticking along nicely now.

 

[Walken]

Reece Topley is nowhere near good enough of a player to be a fitness gamble. 2nd game in a row he's gone off.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The decision to bowl first makes no sense

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Needed that

 

[Walken]

One player who is good enough is adil rashid, 10 overs isn't enough though

I'm still trying to work out these pitches on the sub-continent. They seem to be flat and hard which is a spinners paradise, but it's also why pace bowlers get hammered.

But as the day goes on, the pitch seems to turn in favor of the pace bowlers?
