India versus England we look forward to this test series starting in a couple of weeks um India hasn’t named their squad yet and there’s a lot of questions that are hanging about we’ll go through first though England squad which is which has been named okay um so we’ve got
Obviously Ben Stokes the captain we’ve got rahan Ahmed so this is the spinner that wary said in the Nets in England that he’s the next warning so a lot of uh big expectations on ran rahan armed um and we’ll see whether he actually gets it to play I think last time he
Came he didn’t get to play um but we’ll see if he gets to play in this series Jimmy Anderson how old is Jimmy Anderson Jimmy still going this can’t be a t Jimmy Anderson is still in this squad though chimy jimy good yeah it’s uh he’s
He’s just going I think he’s 40 now it has to be 40 right well I think he he’s got a bit of beef with bumra if you remember the last oh yes the last series boun there I think he’s back for that he wants I don’t know if he can ball
Bounces but uh you definitely swing the ball um Gus Atkinson don’t know who he is Johnny B shy Basher B so Jo sh Basher is a new new name that’s been added to the squad um and I believe he is a batsman I think mid batsman and we’ve
Got Harry Brook Zack Crawley Ben Ducket Ben folks uh Tom Harley Jack leech so Jack probably will be their main spinner and if they’re playing two spinners and I believe ranh and armed will be playing as well I think Choy bash is actually another spinner if I’m correct uh and we
Got olle Pope olle Robertson J and uh Mark Wood I thought you were going to say uh Stokes folks and wokes in one after the other ah yeah unfortunately Woks is an IND Squad so that’s interesting uh oh really yeah they’ve gone I’m guessing with Hardley here okay
Okay and uh interesting um Harry Brooks selection because yeah I understand basor but will they will they Implement basor here considering uh do you remember um England’s last tour yeah last disastrous tour here yeah they got out they got out very and who was the hero in that it was Axel
P we’re going we’re going to talk about the Indian selection soon but uh AXA pel is a shing 100% has to be right he hasn’t been in the especially in the T20 he played last night that was very good um but I mean England squad it’s
It’s a strong Squad yeah and yeah there is the question basball right um obviously they will be playing that style and uh it’s about whether basball will be successful in India now they they’ve gone everywhere else and and they’ve done pretty well I give them credit right and I do like the fact
That they’re trying something different in test cricket you always got to applaud that right yeah um I just don’t know how this will work in India though I mean it matters if it’s a spinning pitch on day one and ax pel is bowling who doesn’t spin it that much but maybe
If gep is bowling and it’s turning like Square do you still do the basball approach can you do the bbar approach Well normally you’d say no yeah but that might be the only way to sort of hit out against that like if they start losing wickets right but I feel like
Um look I’m very disappointed with England because it’s hard to sort of scope where they’re at playing in India because we saw what a disastrous World Cup they had during the round it was terrible they they were playing and they were the defending Champions right of
The World Cup and I to believe it was in it was incredible especially the fact that you before the T20 World Cup they just hammered teams and they wanted yeah and for them to just come to this ODI walk up and do nothing absolutely nothing disappointing but it
Disappointing and it was a bit of like a a scare through the camp of England to be like is this what’s going to happen in January like is this what’s happening well uh there’s an inter interesting thing I read um we’ve seen this before from the Australians I believe when
Shane war was around as well they’re bringing their own Chef so England is bringing their own Chef So to avoid any sort of Deli belly or stomach issues you know oh they’re going to have their own Shephard’s pies and [ __ ] like that do you remember Shane was it Shane War
Bought his baked yeah he bought baked beans yeah they bought their own Chef that was like over three decades ago though I’m pretty sure the hotels are very good yeah uh now in India so I think that’s based on I think when Ben Stokes was last playing in the IPL last
Year yeah he had issues oh really yeah so that’s why he was he was very he was off most of the games this is what the gordes don’t understand when you go India you need to have your Biser the bottled water man don’t eat the gold gapper when you’re there no don’t you
Yeah don’t eat the gold gappers you can’t handle it we can but uh don’t have regular water and ice you guys need to have the bottled water and make sure that it’s bottled water it’s maybe heat it up just to be sure it’s hard with the
Ice because it’s so hot right you ice right but you can’t eat the ice I mean they’re probably making school boy mistakes still you know when coming to India they definitely were doing a walk up so but um who’s the chef but is it going to be Gordon Gordon Ramy oh that
Be sick Gordon Ramsey turns up to the you the series making you know flaming Ys and all that sort of stuff swearing at like Ben Ben stes or like gave you a flaming y why’ you get 100 you [ __ ] suck it’s going to be good it’s going be
A good series I think England have a England on paper have a really good squad yeah right now they’ve just got to perform yeah in India yeah yeah they got to perform um and look you that was England C but we now turn to I guess outc which hasn’t been announced
And there’s some interesting questions so cetra shajara got a double 100 another one yeah now do we bring him back obviously yes I don’t believe shus has played well in the last couple of months both in ODI and pest Cricket he looked abysmal um um in the test
Series against a short yeah and she always struggled I mean do we play shus like is that is that the call here or do we go with the man in form and and the one with experience in pajara okay so there’s the question mark about shus there’s also a question mark about shman
Gill yeah um after having such a great 2022 ever since he got Deni at 2023 uh just before the he been different been different um he hasn’t scored like a magnificent Innings like he had before right um and look we’ve given him some leeway CU he had dingi yeah we’ve also
Been teasing him that he had dingy as well about calling him dingy the two players that have been out rahane um who took who pretty much took India to that famous World Cup uh sorry the famous test series victory in Australia test y um he’s been outed and pajara right yeah
He was a hero that day as well in at the gabar yeah I feel like those two need to come in maybe not rahane I don’t think he’s done a lot but yeah I don’t think Rane has done enough you got to give another youngster go then you got to give like
SAS right we we can’t say that your name on this podcast damn bccl will come after me why isn’t Sr Khan picked I just don’t understand this you got to play him right you got to play him the guy is scoring hundreds upon hundreds in domestic Cricket um
He’s been known to be a great talent and I just don’t I don’t I don’t understand why he can’t get picked I mean you got to give him a go to see how he goes right like he might go well he might not go well I mean to me they’ve given Sky a
Going test Cricket sky but they won’t give s FR I just I just don’t understand some of the thinking here but I mean this is the BCCI we’re talking about it’s interest it’s interesting the hole that hardik pandia has created with his back injury yeah because after he
Injured his back which was a very debilitating back injury that he had in remarkable recovery but since then India has not found that extra player to replace him right it’s always been someone popping into that position not doing well next player coming in not doing well and that’s the thing right
Like they’ve tried shle tuckle and um I mean on on Indian pitches you’d think that obviously oxa pel will get that sort of spot um and obviously D has got his own spot there in the team but um they haven’t found on anyone to hardik
Plays a really crucial role um he can be that false seamer um that is there and unfortunately there is no one like that in in uh currently I don’t believe um in the ranks to be called up yeah and and this is also just remember this is the
Beginning of the we close to the beginning of the the WTC cycle right um this is the time if you’re going to blood new players this is the time to blood them and give them a chance youest to there but you have a there which India do have a core already but
You got to blood one or two players give them a chance and from what I’m hearing is the BC is now just completely frustrated with hardik Pia right he’s had back injury after back injury and they only want to play him when he can do both bowling and batting and you just
Have to wonder what happens in his comeback he SL to come back around I believe the IPL what a coincidence so is Sky yeah so is isan Kish but um I mean would that be enough to you know bring him into the squad uh for the other
Tests that are in the year I don’t believe so um I don’t think they’ll risk him in test Cricket anymore hardik Pia to be honest like I know this is a bit off topic but I feel like it’s them coming back in the I shouldn’t be enough
For them to come back in the World Cup squad either talk about that as well coming up uh but yeah I mean it’s it’s not enough to get test is like I mean I understand you if you’ve played test before as well but you got to build up
For tests right yeah and you’ve got to have proof on the paper that you’ve done well before just like just before you get selected so you have the best chance to do well in that test right and there’s players who have done well who are scoring runs in the domestic circuit
Where scoring runs in like s FR can’t yeah he’s scoring well also Prett be short I got to say poor guy doesn’t even get a look in these days but yeah I mean once that’s that’s the thing once you’re not in favor with the the selectors they
Don’t tend to come back to you and I don’t know why like it’s even if they are performing so we’ll see whether I mean pjar gets picked or SAS Khan gets picked if there is any series to play him I’ll say now um I don’t believe shz
Has done enough to stay stay in the team um at least stay in 11 I don’t think he’s done enough and I mean it’s I think it’s time we we we tried him out and um but we’ll see where it goes uh interesting it’ll be interesting Yeah
