    I mean I went with it when they introduced coloured kits but batting in a strap-on just isn't cricket

    Hope we dont do too much in terms of rotation come the second test on Saturday.

    Only change for me would be Broad for Archer.

    Six wins in a row in Asia, win by over 200 runs and 11 out of the 20 wickets we got were for a single digit score. Sublime.

    Just finished watching. An excellent test and India seem to be in the t20 slogfest mindset our previous coach had us play.

    I still think we've a lot of development to put into the top 3, but patience and creating a base is much better for test cricket than a top 6-7 consisting largely of chancers and sloggers. Excellent win.

    And what an over from Jimmy Anderson!

    A series win here would give us some confidence going into the Ashes.

    I know it's arrogant but I think all the other series are a dress rehearsal for the Ashes.

    That's a bit disrespectful to all the other Test playing Nations tbh mate. It's India's national sport and we've just beaten them (thrashed!) in their own back yard. The equivalent of their BBS will be going bat crazy right now :)

    Anderson is superhuman, to be still bowling that well at his age is phenomenal.

    I disagree. Winning in India is a far tougher challenge than winning in Australia.
