There's no way that either Broad or Anderson will only play one of the first tests

Surely.

The day nighter is totally set up for both of them and they'll have one test each in their legs.

Jimmy rested for the second test tomorrow (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 08:30:52
- Focus for Jimmy is the day-nighter (Other Sports) - norwaay, Feb 12, 08:36:16
  - yup, sound sensible (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 08:50:59
    - Can understand the workload management, but... (Other Sports) - Basil Wrathbone, Feb 12, 09:10:14
      - The tests are all back to back, it's hoomid as fuck and Jimmy is 38. (Other Sports) - norwaay, Feb 12, 09:18:42
        
        Agree with that, except I'm not even sure they'll play both of them in the 3rd Test (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 09:20:29
        
        Hard to say, I don't think Broad needs quite as much management as Jimmy (Other Sports) - megson, Feb 12, 09:36:38
        
        Sure norwaay is right about the plan (Other Sports) - Basil Wrathbone, Feb 12, 10:51:24
        
        I think that is the plan although I can see both sides of the argument. Anderson (Other Sports) - Jim, Feb 12, 13:33:34
        
        That's how my old skippers saw it. (n/m) (Other Sports) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 12, 11:37:03
        
        You may all be right. But presumably this is all true for every test match (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 11:29:10
        
        Agreed, 3rd seems the best choice to have them both in. (n/m) (Other Sports) - megson, Feb 12, 11:12:49

        I'm being slow here. Presumably it's a possibility we play Jimmy in the 3rd (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 09:26:53
        
        Possible - I just don't think that will happen (Other Sports) - norwaay, Feb 12, 09:32:07
        
        That's what I think, its going to be the key test now really (Other Sports) - megson, Feb 12, 09:38:43
- (Oh, Dom Bess dropped (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 08:31:57
  - Baffling (Other Sports) - Cardiff Canary, Feb 12, 09:05:57
    - I don;t mind that, I think the Indians would have gone after Bess (Other Sports) - Jim, Feb 12, 13:32:19
    - I think we need to be aware of the physical demands of playing in India... and (Other Sports) - Pixelman, Feb 12, 09:31:54
    - That is a bit of a sweeping statement re Hick et al (Other Sports) - norwaay, Feb 12, 09:30:34
      - Yeah. I was deliberately nudging a debate (Other Sports) - Cardiff Canary, Feb 12, 12:06:20
    - I don't think it's that baffling (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 12, 09:14:50
    - Oh,Hick was unlucky to come up that Windies attack but none of the other three were good (Other Sports) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 12, 09:11:05
