Mosher Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 This should be the Playing XI. No Dhawan, Rohit and Jaddu. Aaron would have been a good option if one of the pacers gets injured/performs poorly.

gakgupta Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Surprised everyone wanted Nathu.....but he didn't even played a whole season ....he is not even regular for his ranjis team.... I bet most of u didn't even seen him.....he is good prospect but nowhere near finished product. Lot of careers was wasted because they were pushed into bigger leagues quickly He has to play at least one complete domestic seasons.....btw, I don't think shardul is Intl material Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk tweaker and beetle 2 Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Raina, Bhuvi, Shami all needed in the ODI side. Why does that Fat Raina needed a break? He anyway does not play tests. Its so unfair MSD is given a pathetic side to lead. Its not even an A team. Now we will loose and ICFers will go beserk to remove Dhoni. Kohli on the other hand got full strength squad tweaker and sscomp32 2 Link to comment

No doubt heis a good player but hasn't clicked in Tests. One last chance . Rest Vijay/Rahane for two games and try Rohit. Thats My take. The rest team remains same for me too. tweaker 1 Link to comment

MK55 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 After a long time, our fast bowling was looking exciting with Ishant, Yadav and Aaron. And now Kohli drops Aaron and chooses BK. This isn't England/NZ and I don't think BK'a any good reversing the ball. We needed someone who's willing to bend his back and get the ball to reverse at 90 mph. Would have been ideal to let someone like Aaron get some experience and grow into a better bowler by playing him against a team like WI. Also, I'm not confident with Shami as a test bowler. And whats's this obsession of playing bits and pieces players like Binny and Shardul. Shardul might have done well in domestics but unless he's someone like Marsh batting wise, I don't want to see him in tests. We already have got too many bits and pieces players. If they wanted to discard Aaron, at least try out someone like Rajpoot/Nathu. Kohli has talked a lot about fast bowlers but I'm not seeing him make any bold decisions that could help long term. Selection of Binny in itself is disgraceful. Ankit_sharma03, Mosher and tweaker 3 Link to comment
maniac Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) To be fair Pk did really well last wi tour....so bk is not the worst choice. given up own Aaron he has turned out to be our tino best who btw 5 clicks quicker and just as erratic but can hurt you physically. Will be Ishant Umesh and I will bet you right now binny will be our 3rd seamer. Edited May 23, 2016 by maniac tweaker 1 Link to comment

Selection of Binny in itself is disgraceful. Well said. This chopping and changing will never help us develop fast bowlers. Disappointed with Virat and the selectors. Aaron is one of the few Indian bowlers who has a lethal bouncer and could have been handy in WI. When the selectors select someone they should give him ample opportunities to prove himself before taking a call on him. Someone like Rohit or Dhawan keep getting opportunities in spite of failing in so many innings why are fast bowlers not given the same backing? maniac, tweaker and Ankit_sharma03 3 Link to comment

Only now for a couple of years he has been injury-free. You wont get a good readymade Indian fast bowler for test matches. Most of our fast bowlers took a long time to become good test match bowlers. Take the example of one of your favorite bowlers Ishant. He got numerous opportunities and only now he has started performing consistently. Don't you think Aaron deserves atleast a consistent run for a couple of series before judging his bowling? express bowling and tweaker 2 Link to comment

Ishant has kept himself fit throughout and between every miserable patch he has had, showed some sparks in between where he won matches. I backed Aaron too as he was a rare breed of indian fast bowler...while I agree that he was mismanaged by dhoni and probably injuries that you cannot fault him for, has not shown a whole lot of skills or reinvented himself in the last 5 years.....also he hasn't grabbed the opportunity he has had with both hands where as umesh has a killer out swinger and has been good in tests albeit a bit inconsistent, but with the same mismanagement and injuries has performed way better. Aaron is also not getting any younger....I think it's time to move on....apart from a killer short ball, I have never seen him swing the ball or even reverse the ball. i like phaast bowlers too but time to move on from this particular one. tweaker 1 Link to comment

He can swing the ball when the conditions are favorable like many fast bowlers. I hope you remember him cleaning up Moeen Ali with a gem that swung like a banana or Amla getting bowled with a ball that seamed after pitching. Watch the video below of that delivery. He can bowl gems like that but I agree he needs to do it consistently. The more international matches he will play the more he will learn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lZIc8mBTe4 tweaker 1 Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Binny should be nowhere near Team India in any format, especially the Tests. And Saha should be replaced by a younger wk, maybe the current u-19 wk as he can't be much worse. Saha doesn't inspire any confidence in me as a batsman and I would rather go with someone who at least has more potential. tweaker 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) cant fault selectors for not picking Aaron. He has been really disappointing. He should join country cricket after the IPL ends. There is still 3-4 months of county cricket left. Edited May 24, 2016 by rkt.india Forever Indian and tweaker 2 Link to comment
express bowling Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Overall....a decent team selection. I don't think Nathu can be picked straight away in an away test tour without playing for our A team even. Disappointed that Aaron has not been picked. Unless swing friendly conditions are expected, like in England and NZ, Bhuvi won't come in handy. Why Rohit Sharma ? tweaker and vishalvirsingh 2 Link to comment
express bowling Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) I want more bounce bowlers selected for India. Shardul is a fast -medium bowler who gets outswing but he is another short bowler like Shami and Bhuvi. Even Umesh is medium height and only Ishant Sharma in this team gets bounce in the absence of Aaron. Too many similar kinds of pacers have been taken. Rajpoot is tall, more bouncy, quicker, gets outswing too and has a better average ( 25 ) and SR ( 48 ) than Thakur ( 27) and ( 52 ) in FC . He has sufficient FC experience too and I think he has picked up around 25 wickets in 5 matches in the last Ranji season. Would have been a better pick than Thakur IMHO. Why is Bumrah not being considered at all for test matches ? He has pace, decent bounce, gets swing and seam and is an accurate bowler. Has an average of 25 in FC.

tweaker Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Selectors could have experimented by selecting Rajpoot.They could have selected him in place of Binny. Shami has not bowled many overs after his operation.I hope he is able to handle the workload vishalvirsingh and express bowling 2 Link to comment
