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. |

Jennings and Dawson called up.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38140767 Will they get thrown straight in? |

I would guess Jennings will go straight into the team for Hameed. Also I guess Batty will drop out. Dawson could come in but more likely Broad (if fit).

Not decrying Jennings talent/potential but that leaves Root as the only right hander in the likely top 5

Ashwin is averaging 18.83 against left-handers in this series, 82.33 to right-handers.
Ashwin killing left handers on some docile pitches at the moment, going to be quite tough having Cook, Jennings, Ali, Stokes in the top 6.Cook, Ali been struggling lately, tough on jenning to bat against someone at his peak, you can generally tell a spinner bowling well when he beats batsman on drift and dip. stokes batting the best at the moment but even then getting out to some gems from Ashwin. Worry for england would be they now playing on Mumbai and Chennai which got a reputation for spinning on day 1. Red soils pitches tend to spin quite early and deteriorate quickly which is what some english journalist don't understand why Dawson got picked since in a rank turner england will pick another batsman and even if they pick a 3rd spinner dawson hardly going to bowl if they don't trust Batty. Dawson a baffling choice considering an extra batsman or leach would have been a better choice. |

Murali vijay and Rahane should not play the next test. Hope Lokesh Rahul and Rohit Sharma are fit.

England are really a bits and pieces side at the moment, with so many players, especially around the middle order, not having real, set roles.
As a Hampshire fan, no way should Liam Dawson be anywhere near that test squad. Solid player, but not test class. |

Q - would Hameed, at 19, have been picked if his season average was 50 but in the second division?? Would Duckett be a better equipped player had he been playing first division cricket? |

India are a very good team who are brilliant at home.
England are a very good team who are brilliant at home. England will trounce India tomorrow if the game was played in England. Home advantage is just too great. Its a combination of weather (col vs hot) humidity (lack of in Uk) and pitches. |

I think this will be a good thing if we used it over here as well
New Zealand Cricket is set to introduce the concussion substitute rule in this season's domestic limited-overs competitions - the McDonald's Super Smash T20, which begins on December 4, and the 50-over Ford Trophy, which begins on January 15, 2017. New Zealand Cricket, however, will not have the concussion substitute rule in the Plunket Shield as the ICC had earlier rejected the idea for first-class cricket. http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzeala...y/1070110.html |

Australia make 324-8 in the first ODI against NZ. Smith 164, terrific innings. NZ reply on BT Sport 3 now, Latham goes early.

Not my favourite cricketer, but Steve Smith is having a helluva day
Following his 164, he has taken 2 tough catches , the 2nd of which that dismissed Watling was a stunner Likely to be replayed forever on Australian cricket coverage ....... |

Scyld Berry has the gall to suggest that Cook should be replaced as captain if he loses the 4th test.
What an idiot. Replace the captain mid tour, for just the last test. As if its Cooks fault that the pitch suits Indian spinners or that at home Indians are transformed into very very good players. His articles are also close to the line with regards to the culture. Got embroiled in online spat about caste issues and why lower casts clean bins etc etc. |
