As usual, Indians are too shy to announce their team and looking for good muhrat but Poms rolled a dice already.

Surprisingly Jimmy playing back to back tests, makes sense because for them series is on the line and they'd like to see 2-2 after 4th test match.


They need the permission of Jay Shah who will give them the muhurat time and accordingly, they would reveal the name. Why Shoaib Bashir? The kid did not do anything out of the box in the game that he played last. Took a total of 4 wickets and scored only 8 runs not sure what is going on in the mind of the English team. They have only Anderson who can destroy the Indian batting. I was happy to see him getting thrashed by Jaiswal in the third test when he got his double century.
Olli Robison has a good record against India and he's good with the cutters which could be helpful and might trouble Indian batters so he's not a bad choice.

Leggie Rehan Ahmed was offering 1-2 dollies in every over and didn't look disciplined enough with his line and length so they had to replace him.

India vs England
The fourth Test match between India and England starts tomorrow.We have seen earlier that India lost the first test match to England but then they came back well and India won the second and third test match in a row. One of India's best bowlers, Jasprit Bhomra, may not be attached to the Indian team, and the Indian pace bowling attack will be weakened due to his absence from the Indian team. India have added a new wicket keeper player to their squad namely Dhruv Jurel. I have utmost confidence that India will win this fourth Test and clinch the series with one match to spare.
Yes, the fourth Test match of India vs England Test series will start from tomorrow. The fourth Test match is very important for England as they need to win to level the series. If India win then the series will be won with one match to spare. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal did not do well in the first Test but scored two double centuries in the second and third Tests which surprised everyone. Hope he will perform very well in the fourth Test as well. I also think India can win the 4th Test.

Patidar gets another opportunity to prove himself in the absence of KL Rahul. Not bad for a beginners luck in a highly competitive Indian cricket team. I think for the Ranchi test they should give Sundar an opportunity. The guy has proven ability to bat but as a spinner sometimes he can be good. Ashwin should be given a rest just like Bhumrah. Shiraj and Akash deep would be preferred in the team. Mukesh got an opportunity earlier in the series but failed to prove himself.
Ideally, Axar/Sunder (Spin all rounder), or Mukesh/ Akashdeep (Seamer) selection should depend on the pitch.

Ollie Pope came to interact with the media and mentioned that there are a lot of cracks on the deck so it could be a tricky spin pitch but the Rohit-Dravid duo is conservative with their approach so I won't be surprised if they pick an extra seamer instead of spin all rounder.
Definitely two seam attack is indeed if Bumrah is set to rested for this match cause a seamer playing 5 match test series isn't a joke. Siraj already proved he can do something too, so why not try Akash cause he added to the squad because of his performance if I am not wrong.

Patidar is the ideal choice now, cause Padikkal is an opener and can bat at no.3 but switching from that natural position and trying to fit will not work all the time.

I also feel that Rohit and Dravid will go with two seamers and looking at the option it will be Shiraz and Akash Deep. I do not think they will replace Patidar after only two games they kept Bharath for so long why not give this lad some more time? He got selected at the age of 30 and did not have much time left with cricket as he would gradually retire from test cricket in the next 8 years. If he does get replaced then I am not sure who will be picked as he was selected based on him being a specialist. I think he might come down from his current position to the position where Khan comes and vice versa.

Sucks that Bumrah isn't part of the lineup, but this provides golden opportunities to youngsters who can actually prove themselves like Akashdeep(Never even heard of this dude before).

If it's a spin track, Axar is the better selection while Akash should be given a shot if they need an extra seamer.

I read that too today and it was the reason why Virat after 15 years skipped cricket and took personal leave. There might have been complications in the pregnancy as the news is that child was born in London. Hopefully the mother and son are doing good and if everything looks good then he should play IPL 2024. It is their child and they hold the sole right to name him whether anyone likes it or not.
Owh that's a good news. I just found out from your posts here that they have another baby. Anyway congratulations to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma . I think they are fullfilled now after one princes they got the their prince also. They became happy family now. And I would also like to agree with your opinion that the child is their and I think they named the baby thoughtfully, and it must be based on their culture and religion. And our culture is not the same so we may like it. But it should not be said that the weird is named.
Like you, I didn't know Virat Kohli had fathered another child before posting this. Anyway congratulations to Virat Kohli on becoming a father to his second child. As his wife was very close to giving birth, he felt the need to be by his wife's side during this period, which is why he has been out of the field for some time. Both mother and child are healthy so it is expected that soon Virat Kohli will be back on the field and he will once again win the hearts of his fans with the bat. Congratulations once again to Virat Kohli for such a beautiful and happy family.

The internet has filled with unfortunate scenarios/memes after Anushka and Kohli welcomed their baby boy named "Akaay". While there shouldn't be any noise, the birth of a baby boy creates a lot of excitement. While everyone has the right to express their thoughts, using such rude words no way to accept.
Nevertheless, my congratulations on the arrival of Junior Kohli!

This is a great news especially for Indian cricket lovers. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have given birth to another child and it is their son whom they have named "Akaay". Maybe their son is named after Virat Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma previously had another child which was a girl child they named their daughter after Virat Kohli named "Vamika".
Since Virat Kohli and his family are healthy now I thought maybe he will join this India team for this Test series.If he could have joined this ongoing series, maybe the Indian team would have been much stronger in terms of batting.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma just shared the news that they have a second child now. That explains why he sat out of the ongoing test series completely. They gave the kid a weird name though.

I feel like he will return to the sport again during the upcoming IPL 2024 season.

India vs England, 3rd Test is in discussion. I wonder about they excellent india has played in this 3rd match. Most of the players show their best. Rohit did century, Yashasvi Jaiswal did double century. Jajeda did century. Shubman Gill was close enough to become 100s. Even they were also did best bowling. Specially Ravindra Jadeja got (2+5=7) wickets in total.. Mohammed Siraj got 4 wickets. But England played worst. It might be super worst situation if Ben Duckett were fail to scored his century, 153 runs as well in 1st innings. Haven't found anyone else who did well after Ben Duckett. There was expectation from Ollie Pope but he couldn't played as expected
Not only the third test match, England team was defeated by India in the second test match. The Indian team players played poorly in the first Test but their batting and bowling performance in the second and third Test matches was very exciting. Jaswal has had the most amazing batting performance in these three Test matches as he has completed double centuries in two of the three Test matches. So England will have to forget the gloom of these two matches and focus on the fourth match so that they can give their best performance in that match.
England can neither draw nor win the next Test matches of the current Test series. Especially England's spinning attack is very low quality because on the Indian pitch usually the attack of Ravindra Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav is so difficult that the England team does not have the ability to defend them. So there is a 100% chance of England losing the next two matches as well.
If England got an easy target and won the second test match but then the England team is not performing well due to the combination of Indian batsmen and bowlers. Moreover, the balance within the team management of this England team is not right, which has become the reason for successive defeats.

^^^ Luck for Patidar, but do you think Padikkal has chance to replace him? Resting Bumrah is boon for Stokes. I'd like to see Akash Deep instead of Mukesh kumar in playing 11 if they go with 2 seamers. England has chance to level the series just because Bumrah isn't there.

And the news has unfold about Virat's absence, i'm sure you know.

If Bumrah is not there, then I would like India to go with just one pacer. And I don't want Siraj in the team. He is struggling continuously (although in the last match he managed to pick some of the wickets from the lower order). Mukesh Kumar or Akash Deep can be given the chance instead. Meanwhile Sarfaraz will be on a high, as his test average now stands at 130 (with a strike rate of 94). The next two matches will represent an ideal opportunity to cement his place in the test squad (probably at the expense of Shreyas Iyer).

If they go with 1 seamer, then that 1 seamer is definitely going to be Siraj. Mukesh performed so poor in one of previous test he played that I don't think he will be given chance as sole seamer again, Akash Deep I have got no idea, it's just for curiosity purposes I want him to play, but obviously they won't make maiden debutant sole seamer either.

Regarding, Sarfraz, he's defintely better test player than Iyer.
