Rahane. He will not get any game this series. He will in England...but will perform poorly because of him being out of form and warming the benches for 4-5 months. That will be end of his mediocre career.

His career won't end. Got strong backing from Mumbai lobby

Wait. You say we need a batsman. And then you say play Rohit instead of Ashwin. In a test match.  Something ain't adding up.

lol at all of you...Rahane ain't gonna get a game in this series. He is done. Maybe in England...where he will fail and finally end his career. 

What did rahane ever do to you?

[Ankit_sharma03]

KL 

Vijay 

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

Pandya 

Parthiv (saha is a terrific keeper but if we are going to need more cushion in batting , also a leftie. Yes its harsh but opp is SA have to try it. Parthiv is no part time keeper)

Ashwin

Bhuvi

Shami/umesh/ishant (if shami is fit or atleast feeling far better)

Ishant/bumrah

 

 

I expect kohli to make lot of changes as well,

Ashwin is a better batsman then rohit in test , and ofcourse he is a bowler to 

Rohit can only play ahead of him as fielder 

[Yoda-esque]

Would get Parthiv in and open with him and Dhawan/Murali.Drop Saha.
Also, get Rahane in place of Rohit.

obviously even you know team management doenst agree with that,so not gonna happen

[Nonbeliever]

They will not drop dhawan.  Even if he fail in the 2nd test he will get injured(fake)in 3rd  test to make a comeback in odis.  Thats how they are ruining the career of kl.

Rahane in place of Rohit.

Rahul in place of either of the openers. I think Vijay will miss out. Vijay-Shikhar looked completely out of sorts. Main problem is the inconsistency of openers failing to give us good starts abroad.

Don't know what combination Virat might put for the second test. 

[Shunya]

Should play Dhawan and Rohit again even if they suck balls. Have to give them more than 1 game to show their worth if there is any.

[express bowling]

Not including Rahane and Rahul, in place of Rohit and Dhawan, would be stupidity.

 

You have to pick the batsmen who are best equipped to handle seam and bounce.

 

1. Vijay

2. Rahul

3. Pujara

4. Kohli

5. Rahane

6. Ashwin

7. Pandya

8. Saha

9. Bhuvi

10. Shami

11. Bumrah

though maybe need to keep one of Rohit/Dhawan . As loath to make 2 changes . As whole team had a warm up game so maybe need to stick with them ? As 2 new guys going to be under cooked 

Perfect team!! Want to bring in ishant in place of bumrah/shami but even then it's ok

[vayuu1]

Two changes basically
Rahul for Dhawan
Rahane for Rohit
Though I am not sold on saha the batsmen even bhuvi is a better bat than saha.

BBS attack did fine. They wrapped up the South African innings today in the first session itself. Can't ask more from the pace attack. We need to make changes where things went wrong and that is the batting order.

[Khota]

1. Dhawan

2. Rahul

3. Pujara

4. Kohli

5. Rohit/Raahane

6. Ashwin

7. Pandya

8. Patel

9. Bhuvi

10. Shami

11. Bumrah

 

hate against Dhawan is pathological.
