mishra Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Pujara is not a opener. Leave him where he is. If only he comes to face bowlers after ball is 15 over old, he can bat long UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Cricketics Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 At this time Shaw and anyone else can open. Take a punt between the too. Both Dhwan and Rahul haven’t been anything special that they are making any difference to the team. Shaw must br chosen as one player though. I would stick with therest of the batting order. I would like to play jadeja ahead of Ashwin also. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
zen Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 if Shaw and Pujara open, Rahane should come in at 3. This guy has no reservations about batting in the top order in LOIs and domestics, but shys away from doing that in SENA where he is supposed to be a key batsman in these type of conditions UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 im a big fan of shaw and he should go to the top. but and big but- has he sorted out his back foot sliding technique. If not- jimmy Anderson will make mince meat of him. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

If he plays, he should be opening in the tests vs WI as well Link to comment

Also depends on his personality and how he reacts to set backs. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Pollack Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Throwing in new players in the middle of series does nothing good. But since the series is already over and we still lose no matter whom we select, might as well try Shaw. However if he fails miserably he shouldn't be called as hack or not prepared. Because only a freak batsmen can come and perform straightway in his debut series and that too in England. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

We can't be slotting players based on the reactions, which are free Reactions are not restricted to fans on cricket forums. Top cricketers and journalists talk / write / tweet similar things too. And this puts unnecessary pressure on the young-uns ... and sometimes influences selections as captains and coaches read the same. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
