Is that right? There are barely 9 weeks so they must all be back-to-back; and 5 Tests in India in a month-and-a-bit will test both sides. I think the situation is completely barmy. No idea how conditions in Bangladesh will compare with India, although I assume they are similar enough not to warrant warm-up games.

On the plus side looks like there are no one-day internationals during the series.”

ODI series is after christmas, england go home for 2-3 weeks where india plays a test against Bangladesh.

Not sure the conditions are that similar apart from that it turns. india pitches are quicker and they use a different ball.
really Bangladesh pitches are more similar to UAE than india.
only really Sri lanka comes close to india pitches now in the subcontinent.
only real benefit of Bangladesh would be that the batsman have time in the middle and the spinners bowled some overs.

Some bounce in the pitch, not sure i have ever seen that in Bangladesh, plus some swing and seam for the pace men.

Acclimatisation isn't that useful either considering Rajkot/mohali is likely to be colder and less humid.
From experience winter in india can be freezing especially in the north and in Gujarat, doesn't help the houses are designed to remove heat.
Rajkot might be ok since it early nov but Mohali is guaranteed to be cold, might even be - figures if England are lucky like in 2012 when Delhi was freezing during January.

not sure why he is bowling, the pace men looks more dangerous so far.

The bounce didn't last long then.

TBH not that surprising, whenever I seen hales play, always thought of him as a limited player in terms of strokes, so doesn't really surprise me that he struggles to score quickly in test.

really Hales been made to be aggressive when he really can't be aggressive and doesn't like to be aggressive.
even in ODI/T20 he starts slowly before hitting boundaries.

Edit looks like you jinxed duckett.

Lets hope the Yorkshire lads can settle things down

I'm glad I didn't get involved in the spreads as I thought we would get plenty

They've dropped a 100 points already

bangladesh conned everyone this week, kept the pitch underwraps, no one really saw it or were allowed to see it.
all the talk before the game was the low pitch, draw game plan, Bangladesh having no faith in the attack and bam they produce a rank turner with bounce and pace.
weirdly enough the pitch is quite similar to india so that a positive.

suspect the ground will be full soon.
Bangladesh crowd love it when the team doing well or winning.
surprised the stadium empty at the moment, considering they said friday and Saturday is a sellout.

Ali would have been out if Bangladesh reviewed.
surprised they didn't review considering they changed the umpire call system now.
