Hope it rains for 3 days on the trot

I would rather have this team taste a defeat inside 3 days than somehow escaping from rain threat. These guys need to be brutally exposed.

Good move playing Umesh here, his natural length and his natural outs swinger  will be handy. Umesh will do well in Eng and Nzl and struggle in Aus and SA

Shaw is losing hair at this younger age .is he taking some steroid. 

Cough syrup

Picking Jadeja for better batting capability is a good thing.. even if we had got to 220... instead of 165  in 1st test, it might have helped our bowlers a lot.

And possibly some Tylenol for his foot/leg injuries.

In a must win game, I would have gone w/ 5 bowlers esp. considering the chances of batting first here (batsmen can become out of the game quickly) 

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

This is not an ideal squad. 

[maniac]

Should have played Ashwin ahead of Vihari. Jadeja May get the same runs as him on this pitch and Ashwin obviously more wickets.

Should have played Ashwin instead of Vihari. Pitch will get flatter so could have used 2 spinners in the 2nd innings.

[vvvslaxman]

If Shaw fails here , KL Rahul will come back.

[zen]

Like McCullum, a mavrick like Pandya could have changed things for Ind  .... too bad he is recuperating 

[maniac]

Aggarwal average 64

 

also 36 runs away from 1000 runs, who is the fastest to 1000?

[maniac]

Damn look at this pitch sub 150 total?

Is it someone like Kambli?

[maniac]

Shaw has shades of Sachin when he plays on the leg side and Sehwag when he plays on the offside 

[maniac]

Huge fan of Shaw but god is he slow off the blocks

[Kothili]

So fukked on this green as ganja track.

[Vilander]

Can kohli win any important toss lol

[maniac]

Aggarwal has his own weird technique that is working for him. Looks like a typical sc bully but has done well in both Aus and in Nzl so far

Saini for a total of 4 seamers .... Jadeja vs Ashwin for the spinner’s spot
