Popular Post express bowling Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) My playing 11 1. Gill 2. Mayank 3. Pujara 4. Kohli 5. Rahane 6. Vihari 7. Pant 8. Jadeja 9. Saini 10. Shami 11. Bumrah ---- Gill is in red hot form in the Unofficial Tests in NZ. Just scored a century as an opener after his 204* and 83 in the last game. He should be one of the openers. ---- Saini should play ahead of Umesh ... he is in excellent form and Umesh is unreliable in tests in SENA. ---- I prefer Pant in tests in SENA. He catches well to pacers and is a much better batsman than Saha. This is needed in SENA. ---- This is a very strong batting line-up till 8 ... 3 top quality genuine fast bowlers ... 5 bowling options including Vihari.

Saha in place of Pant Umesh in place of Saini and probably Shaw in place of Gill SRT100 1 Link to comment

But for me, Saha over Pant would weaken the batting without any significant improvement in catching ability to pacers. Quote Umesh in place of Saini Saini is in form and Umesh has never really performed in SENA. Quote and probably Shaw in place of Gill Gill's current form must be utilized. 83 off 83 balls in tough batting conditions. 204 not out off 273 balls 107 batting off 153 balls in this Unofficial test series in NZ.

Saha ( Pant is not a good enough Keeper for tests, Samson is a better keer than Pant and Saha is way ahead of Pant , in test , one cannot afford to miss catching opportunities) I would play Samson in Tests later when his keeping improves, still his keeping is also slightly better than Pant. Saha has much better keeping skills than both. 8. Kuldeep ahead of Jaddu in tests for Sure. 9. Saini ahead of Umesh but if Umesh Yadav is looking good , he can also be played. 10. Shammi 11.

I trust that NZ tracks dont support spinners and if the wicket looks clearly supporting Pacers , we should play our Pacers. Link to comment
express bowling Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 @vishalvirsingh 1. Kuldeep is not in the test squad 2. There is no practical chance of Rahane being dropped, if fit. Mosher and diehardpacer 1 1 Link to comment

Bumrah Rahane is VC so he wont be dropped. Ideally wanted Gill in place of him and Mayank/Shaw opening. Thats a solid top 6. with Saha and Jadeja chipping in for the rear guard.

diehardpacer Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Gill Mayank Pujara Kohli Rahane (Unlikely to be dropped since he is VC) Jadeja (Plays ahead of Vihari as 5th bowler) Pant Umesh Saini Shami Bumrah If there's help for seamers,play all 4 & use Jadeja to control over rate. Umesh is good enough with bat.I want to see if he has improved like Ishant 2.0 . Most likely Saha will play in place of Pant.

RajBan Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I will play Shaw as opener and Gill in middle order. If there is no spot in MO , then let Gill wait. Link to comment

I like this 11 if the pitch is a flat one ( and requires more pacers ... and 6 specialist batters are not needed ) Mosher 1 Link to comment

Vijy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I like OP's XI. mine is a bit different, although it will never happen: Gill Shaw Pujara Rat rahane Pant Jadeja Saini Umesh Shami Bumrah batting till 7 (with 8 and 9 capable of slogging a bit) and 5 proper bowling options. will need more bowling on these pattas.
