Hameed went into one day mode at the end and India have 103 to win
As mentioned on the radio, Baby Boyks to Baby Botham ![]() Vijay gone and it would be good to get a couple more scalps |

my guess is that Hameed's finger has been iced up a lot to get it to the stage where he felt comfortable batting. Swelling can go down a lot in a day.
He looks quite a player so well done to him. He does look about 12 though, although I'm getting old

Hameed is returning home for an operation on his hand
Makes today's effort seem even more superb with only the aid of paracetomol |

How daft are the cricket rankings ?
We are about to lose another Test but have gone up to number 2 ![]() We will also have lost 3 out of the last 4 as well ![]() (This is due to Pakistan losing in New Zealand)

It seems no matter the sport, the ranking system does seem to be controversial at the very least!

The squad we picked for India was a disgrace, Ballance, Ball, Batty and Finn were wasted spots Billings, Leach, Roy and Borthwick should have been in there but the selectors won't try anything new if we wanted another seamer then Plunkett for Borthwick

Plus those 4 have one test match between them. So you would have taken more inexperienced players to a place where conditions are so different to what they are used to ? Interesting suggestion. As for the selectors not trying anything new - is this the same selectors who chose Hameed, Duckett and Ansari ? |

Well played India.
Will England call for a replacement for Hameed and, if so, who? |

Sad news for Hameed but on the plus side, it showed what tremendous courage he has. He didn't actually want to leave the tour either and wanted to delay the operation for 3 weeks.
There doesn't seem to be a stand out replacement . Has to be a right hander you would think |

Hameed was very stupid in my opinion, you don't put your health on the line like that, he should not have played.
As soon as the diagnosis came through, he should have been sent home to get the surgery. People saying that what he did batting for three hours etc was brave etc, are just wrong, it was pure ego on his behalf, there are more important things in life than a match, especially one that we stood no chance of winning. |

Remember Captain Kate, two games off with a thoroughly smashed jaw, back for the remainder to make sure she got her bronze medal...?? |

Blimey, it's only his little finger, you sound like he's about to lose his eyesight. I do agree he shouldn't carry on with the series, he could make it worse fielding and it would hamper his batting, but you try stopping someone involved in a game from carrying on! "Oy, mate, you've broken your arm!" "That's OK bud, I'll use the other....."
Remember Captain Kate, two games off with a thoroughly smashed jaw, back for the remainder to make sure she got her bronze medal...?? As for trying to stop someone, surely that is the coach or managers job, to look out for a players well being, as of course they will want to play come what may, and most would probably try and play with two broken legs, but it should not be up to the player concerned to decide. |

There doesn't seem to be a stand out replacement . Has to be a right hander you would think Including a disasterous first test, Rashid has now taken 33 wickets in 8 games. His average is now better than Alii and so is his strike rate. Can there be any doubt that he is our best slow bowler ? |

What then would you have thought of superbiker Troy Bayliss who lost his little finger in a race then came back to race while still suffering damage to a testicle from the same crash which later needed surgery?
![]() You don't do so by carrying on whilst injured. |

Should have mentioned he was 38 at the time and very much already at the end of his career.

Ansari was an awful selection Joe Root is a better bowler and he probably never practises it
