That happens. Stokes asked for Moeen specifically.

Look at the spinners going to India. Hartley is really inexperienced, especially in first class cricket.

is that the same Stokes that declared in the first test vs Aussies and then lost the test ??

good luck to the lad Hartley, but is it a token gesture and will he play I don't see it myself

He’s more experienced than the Somerset lad that I’d never heard of, who’s also a spinner on the tour!

What a fucking idiot.

The umpire wasn’t blameless, but you can’t do that. They’re trying to appeal the length of the ban.

Apparently, Curran was warned not to keep doing it, but chose to carry on. Irrespective of whether the umpire was right in law you have to abide by their decisions. It isn't football!

Yeah, but the umpire could have carried on walking up to Curran and had a quiet word.

It doesn’t excuse Curran being an idiot though.

India are extremely good at the moment. Bumrah and Siraj are an amazing opening pair of bowlers.
