Ricky Ponting and Nasser Hussain criticised India's decision to open the bowling at Old Trafford with debutant Anshul Kamboj instead of Mohammed Siraj. "I was surprised that they went with Kamboj ahead of Siraj with the new ball to start with," said Ponting on Sky Sports. Hussain agreed, "Everything that could go wrong in 14 overs has done."
