Probably the right decision, as long as Rooty is up to it. Not being captain could potentially prolong his career a few more years and towards Sachin's record. Last Ashes series he wasn't captain he only hit a lazy 766 runs at an average of almost 130 ;)

The greed of India finally playing Bangladesh,Cmon Tigers!!

[Jukes]

Aaaaand India are 356/3 :/

No surprise who's leading the way for India aha - Kohli is a freak

[Hawka]

Bangladesh have improved immesnely in the last 2 years, long way to go though and India away is a huge task
I am a massive fan of Bangladesh though and the new test system will only help them
getting wins in Bangladesh will be quite difficult for non asian teams

[Bill Manspeaker]

India 6/amillion

booorrrrrring

Every single batsman apart from Rahul got no less than 80, that's crazy.

Kohli with another double ton too, that man is really really good.

First day of the county season, and Gary Ballance is back 8) Hopefully a repeat of his 2013 season is in store.

Ben Coad bowled well to take 5fer in his 2nd ever County match as well, off only 8 overs!

And 3rd match now and he brings up his 2nd century of the season! This one arguably better as Lyth, Root, Handscomb and Bairstow could only manage single figure scores.

That 2013 form is returning boyssss :D :D :D
