Possible - I just don't think that will happen

I'm almost certain, fitness permitting, that they'll both play in the third test.

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
        
        There's no way that either Broad or Anderson will only play one of the first tests (Other Sports) - norwaay, Feb 12, 09:24:48
        
        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
