    If we lose this series (Which most likely we will) & End up losing in Aus then surely Rohit & Kohli will be shown the door as we know how Gautam is. Also we need 4 wins out of 6 (2 Nz & 4 Aus) so if we lose both series then we will not get into the WTC final. 

     

    Gautam should be the first one to be shown the door in that case. We've gone from hopes of a competent showing in Australia to struggling against a far weaker team at home.

    For NE, consider Sikkim - especially North Sikkim. 
     

    Best time to visit would be November and December. You will find snow in the upper reaches. 
     

    For Kashmir, November and December will be mostly dry and cold. 
    Jan and Feb are good months for snowfall.

     

    I have already been to Jammu and Kashmir last year, so not planning for that right now, maybe next year.

     

    Sikkim sounds good. I was considering Meghalaya at first. Does Sikkim require ILP? If so how to get it?

     

    What about Andaman?

    Can we win 2nd test match?

     

    Also lol at England. Their own weather owned them.

     

    They lost because of their own hubris. Declaring too early in the first Test, declaring too late in this Test.

    Cummins Calmness is brilliant. Getting results and shutting down people who are ready with pitchforks.
    Rohit Sharma said the WTC series should be a 3 match series to which Cummins said - Olympics are 1 match.

    When told by reporters that Ben Stokes said he wouldn't have liked a win in that manner ( about the Bairstow dismissal ), Cummins replied "OK." :rofl:

     

    When asked whether we would see a mankad dismissal in the series, he replied "Depends on how flat the wickets get."

    After Bairstow got out Stokes went from 60s to 107* in some 15-20 mins. Just hitting everything for 4/6 and taking single on last ball.  

     

    Partnership 50* off 29 balls of which Broad has 1* (8)

    How would you otherwise explain their bowling performance today when Australia was 338 for 5 and still ending up trailing by 7 runs?. On such a flat wicket with 30+  over ball, England still managed to take out 5 wickets (although tail enders) with sheer planning, having fielding setup for their plans. 

     

    That was very well planned and executed but it still doesn't change the poor declaration decision. They might still win but think of how close this chase has been throughout day and how valuable those 30-40 runs would have been for England.
