The way left arm bowler is going for Somerset, Sidebottom needs a recall. A left arm paceman is one option England don't have at present.

England has Reece Topley.
I think though, if england are in a strong position the weather will be bad and there will be rain to save india otherwise weather will be good for india to win.
Because Dhoni is the luckiest cricketer ever.
Many english cricketers are unfortunate thats why they never won the world cup.
Also in 2007, when india were 9 down, the rain god came to the rescue of india particularly because for dhoni.
Dhoni's luck has given india so many success.the most important is the world cup.

Indiasox, so you are pinning India's hopes on Dhoni's luck and the sledging of India's bowlers?

Funny how the best team at the world cup was lucky enough to win it eh?

And the fact that dhoni leads a successful side has nothing to do with talent and hard work, it was all luck?

Nutter!

Ps please don't tell me that the rain will continue till lords or I may cry...

Strauss, Cook, Trott, KP, Bell, Morgan, Prior, Bresnan, Swann, Anderson & Tremlett. My team for the first test. Dam good if you apk me!

That's the team most pundits would name but Broad has been taking wickets for Yorkshire whilst Tremlett has been pretty quiet.

Did Broad switch countys like Strauss?

They are saying by the weekend it should be more settled.Am hoping the first 2 days aint to badly damaged by the weather.. and it should be a good contest.

Sorry Know-it-all, I live in foreign parts so all north England counties are the same to me.
