Expecting India to field same 11 unless someone is injured.

England may have realized that 4 pacers are too much in Indian conditions. :dunno

Last time match played here India, India scored 404 batting first with Talent scoring 264.

bit of a strange looking batting lineup for england as we only have one guy that normally bats in the top 3

Hopefully Bittu will get some swing in first few overs.

Bittu = Bhuvi = Bhuvneshwar Kumar ;) . I think Bittu must be new for CMS'ers but Bhuvi is pretty clear.

Jinx = Ajju = Ajinkya. Jinx is well known too

Talent = Rohit.

Maybe a little pressure on Morgs as a couple of batters with an eye on his place are in the team.

England playing with five pace bowlers is taking time to sink in.

I don't think he has a nick name. Some fans including me just refer to him as Jas.
