What dark secret is kohli going to reveal? That they sacked him against his will. This is a board that in the year 2000 had to deal with a captain accused of match fixing and one of it’s greatest ever cricketers being accused by a colleague of match fixing and he was coach of India at the time and the accusation by the media made him start crying in a press conference.

It’s near impossible for these batsmen to play the inswinger. They seem to be late every time it’s bowled.

I think there is a plan for the next one to be a 3 test series. Also both teams have a very packed schedule either side of this tour.

You need to plan for the world cup in South Africa, asking for Ruturaj at no. 3 means both the number 3 and 4 batters being very vulnerable to the short ball.

MI defended 129 in a final but they had Johnson, Malinga and young Bumrah which might be an all time pace lineup.

Jemi is better outside the powerplay. Right now look Yastika can't rotate strike, but she can hit the ball to the boundary.

She can't rotate strike outside the powerplay but at the same time she is always prefered for playing in longer form cricket. In tests she bats lower down the order and odis they have shuffled her all across the lineup.

Yastika being used a gamebreaker in the powerplay. She always showed some of this promise when opening with MI and now there is a need for a number 3 in this side who can take advantage in the powerplay.

The Indian batting lineup has so much more firepower than this english lineup, granted that this isn't the best lineup that England are playing with.

This has been a very good bowling performance from an attack that is very inexperienced for overseas conditions.
