sandeep Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 23 minutes ago, cowboysfan said: thats a given,both batting units are extremely flawed and wont be able to win batting 4th I think the quality gap between India and Aus is enough to overcome toss disadvantage - can't be picking Umesh ahead of Jadeja/Bhuvi, AND have openers that **** the bed, AND lose the toss. I think Perth was winnable for this team even with losing the toss if they had gotten selection right. Link to comment
maniac Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 @Cricketics should we go with Ashwin(If fit) and Jadeja and play Pandya as the 3rd seamer? Sydney is going to turn and we need 2 spinners and also Ashwin,Jadeja and Pandya means a long batting line up. Can drop Ishant and Maybe one of Rohit / Rahane Link to comment

I am hugesupporter of Jadeja in overseas tests. Jadeja always. Need to be conservtive partially but can’t lose our strength. Jadeja was brilliant and will only be perfect for flat pancake which is to come in SCG. i will take same bowling line up. Tridibans_16 1 Link to comment

So was Ashwin in the 1st test.Jadeja has not outperformed him by any means even though did an excellent job here. Anyways Sydney is usually like Mumbai/Mohali. You would need 2 spinners even though first 1 or 2 days there and obviously Sydney will extra bounce hence Pandya can be 3rd seamer.that way we have a long batting line up instead of Kuldeep or Bhuvi/Umesh Being too conservative will be a bad sign. What is stars align and Aussies score a mammoth score due to lack of proper bowling line up. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Whats great to see is that we finally won not 1 but two test matches on a tour to Australia. We have all experienced India’s one off wins in Aus. Great to see team showing hunger to win more games and realizing one victory won’t result in a series win. Go for the third win guys. Come on.

We can’t sit here and say right away that we should play two spinners by the history. If the media, once they reach SCG, start sharing articles and images and there is a talk of spin friendly track, than I might opt for an extra spinner and may be go with Pandya. May be. Not sure at all. Lets see. Too early to say. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Congratulations guys hats off . Now to finish the game in Sydney and win the series 3-1. I think Virat mentioned the same in the post match conference. Stay on it and finish it. Link to comment

Well done Team India ! Having won two WC and no test series in Aus, I guess if we win in Sydney, this will be remembered more.

But second innings our bowlers like ishant and shami blow hot and cold. Spinner needs to be effective in second innings to balance this attack. This is my biggest gripe with ashwin more so with his action since he doesn’t use shoulder which we can’t change. maniac 1 Link to comment

Can’t be fooled by the history. They will go all out to save the series. They have problems like they had after first test. We should just not focus on their problems but worry about strengthening ourselves. Lets see how the conditons look like. Regardless of how many spinners we take, Jadeja should play ahead of Ashwin. If this does not happen, I won’t be happy with Kohli and co. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Poyzzz Poyzzzz lets not get carried away. Retaining the trophy won’t mean as much if we lose the next test! A win or draw in Sydney is a must! Real McCoy 1 Link to comment
