Match thread, watch this space. Long awaited series, lets see how badly India really do want revenge from the drubbing last year. Plenty of pre-match tension between the sides already. Will be interesting to see what kind of pitch it is. India have a bad history on the Ahmedabad pitch, lets see if that works in England's favour.
Also, happy new year to the Indian fans.
India vs England - Test 1

The good news is one numpty against spin in Bell won't be playing in the 2nd test as he's going back to the uk but that means Morgan and Bairstow might play and both are not the best against spin in sub cont.

england need to review their tactics. playing 3 seamers should be a no. bring in finn and panesar, and bairstow as well.
Pujara reminds me of how dravid used to be a team player. after batting for like a day and a half went to short leg, and then opened the batting with sehwag.
He is a very gd batsman, and I would expect the likes of tendulkar dhoni, gambhir and kohli back to scoring runs in mumbai.

Knowing full well that England would be beaten sorry so decided not to post before the match so that he cannot be accused of hiding

England lasted longer than many predicted. If they can improve their showing, the rest of the tests could be much closer affairs.
Congratulations to India. 1 down 3 to go.

Panesar's average against India is 54 and in India in 5 tests its 56.
