India hint at five-bowler strategy

India's preparation for the start of this England tour reached its final stage when they returned to the field three days before the Trent Bridge Test. Having played two - albeit low intensity - three-day tour games, India took a two-day break from cricket activity, and made their first visit to Trent Bridge on Sunday. This is when they like to pick up intensity; they trained for close to four hours with almost all of their 18 players getting a bowl or a hit, and there might have been a hint that they are considering playing an extra bowler
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

HAHAHAHA what
Five bowler strategy has almost NEVER worked for India. There are not so much great  bowlers in their side. Just gotta pick your 3 best pacers+1 spinner and go with it. I guess they do have the advantage of Ashwin/Jadeja being allrounders tho

Using five bowlers would be a foolish strategy for Indians. The success of the series is really depends on the batsmen. If they bat well then India can put an upper hand in this tour.

We need an all-rounder at 7, so it has to be either Jadeja or Binny and Binny is the better choice at the moment,looking at the wickets.If its a 5 bowler strategy i do not want ishant playing,he will often deliver no balls and hit me deliveries.He needs to get his rhythm back.
Best possible XI : Shikhar Dhawan, Murali  Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, kohli, ,Rahane,Dhoni,  Stuart Binny, R.Ashwin, bhuvaneswar, kumar, Mohammed Shami ,Varun Aaron.

Its pointless to pack a Test XI with batsmen unless a team is trying to protect a series lead, or playing a dead rubber.

Agree with your XI. Although maybe play Jadeja instead of Aaron. You need 2 spinners IMO. Binny is more than handy medium pacer so he can fill in for 3rd pacer.

Actually no,i do want jadeja playing there, but it ain't feasible because you need a fiery bowler on such track. England is place spinners dread to bowl on, so yes 3+1+1 should be great.Binny/Jadeja,either one can do the job.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
