Why don’t teams pick an 11 they think will win the game ?

Starc is averaging 90mph and Cummins 88mph (can round off 90) in current Ashes
 
Aaron and Yadav are fast, definitely seen Aaron maintain 90mph (145) average, but I am also refering to having control as well, which neither have.

This is how it should be..

 

1. Vijay

2. 

3. Pujara

4. Kohli

5. Rahane (Overseas only) Can't play spin

6. Pandya 

7. Saha ( Till we find a WK who can bat)

4 Bowlers 

 

Just need someone to fill that opening spot.. 

 

What we get....:ahhhhh:

 

Vijay

Dhawan (Buddy quota)

Pujara 

Kohli

Rohit (Buddy quota)

Pandya

Saha

4 Bowlers

 

 

 

Dhawan and Rohit are strictly on mrit. Vijay is the least deserving in this batting lineup. Parthiv is ready to do the job if given an opportunity.

This is much better information than staright average. 

To be fair both Rohit and Dhawan have done better than Vijay this time around. Anyway dont get me wrong I want Vijay to get a century in the next innings.

Starc does have control...his problem is being predictable.

Johannesburg was good I suppose. Sachin and Azhar both making tons. What a brilliant display of counter attack it was with glorious stroke play. I am wondering if anyone from this lineup can display a partnership like that. 

this same team already did better on last tour.

no, he too lacks control and bowls a lot of half volleys. Actually, you need top be predictable in test s like Hazlewood. Starc has an ER of 3.4 in tests as much as Shami, so, if Shami does not have control  means Starc does lack it.

I hardly see Starc forcing an edge due to swing or seam...it is usually fast and full lbw or bowled or bounce out batsmen.

 

Shami and Bhuvi are the most consistent of the lot we have.

What you are referring to is 1996 tour which was bad. The partnership which I mentioned was during 1992 tour. Seems there is some confusion.

 

It was  the best partnership I saw from our batsmen in South Africa.

Dhoni’s career ended on a peak with a draw in Australia...right series for him to make a comeback and end on what looks likely a 3-0 drubbing.

 

Also Forget his batting and keeping...bright side might be Kohli will be fielding at deep

midwicket and that will atleast  eliminate all the catches he drops in slips
