India have picked a squad for the A-team warm up game against England, without a spinner. Oh the banter and wummery (that said, the seamers essentially bowl spin)

With no real cricket til the next T20 World Cup, whats next in term of Test series coming up?
These are the new set of selectors. Apparently it's a big deal and they're going to go against the trend - so could see youth being given a chance and less opportunities to proven failures like Gambhir and Sehwag.
That said, Yuvraj is in the A-team and is expected to be India's no.6 after he scored a double century in the domestic village leagues. Plus he bowls left-arm spin. KP

@GappistanRadio you guys seem obsessed with England . Maybe that's why lots of you live here
Pretty poor comment by David Lloyd on Twitter, lost some respect for him after that.
Having gone through his latest tweets, I think he has just had a meltdown because of the mass Indian whining coming at him. But that, in itself, is not a xenophobic comment. He was quite aggressive but everything he says is pretty much true. Most Indians in India have no clue about top level cricket, and many Indians are cowards against the short ball relative to other countries.
He, Vaughan and others have been engaged in war with Indian keyboard warriors since the Test series last year. I think basically all his time on Twitter is replying to them. Fairly standard. I don't really know why he'd waste his time. Literally millions of clowns. And the fact he's doing commentary this time from Isleworth rather than Mumbai thanks probably to the BCCI gives him something else to goad them with.
Yes, just seen what all the fuss is about. Vaughan says it's 'poor form' by India (India A) not to include any spinners to play England in the practice games. Kohli said England did the same when India came here in the summer - playing 120 kph bowlers in the practice games and then 150kph on greener wickets. Lloyd says that wasn't England's problem that Indians were scared of the short ball. Indians reply it's not India's problem England are scared of spin. And then shit got real.
