Don't think reverse would be much into play on account of the plentiful monsoon we have had. Good likelihood that we'd see lush outfields and moisture soaked soil underneath, neither of which are conducive for reverse. On the other hand, matches against England and particularly Australia will be played in much drier conditions, with abrasive outfields. Expect reverse to be a big factor then. 

Rough, grass-less  pitches play a big part in reverse swing...will definitely be there in NZ series.

India's opening stand's average in last 16 matches - 34

Dhawan hasn't scored even single 50 in India after his debut century at Mohali..Isn't that disgusting he is being selected again and again??

Can anyone suggest the best way to buy tickets to the Kanpur Test?  Should I buy online or from the stadium?  Thanks :)

That's where a Sehwag is missed. This guy is a terrible replacement to him.

Better to buy direct from stadium for test matches from my experience.Too much hassle to get tickets when purchasing online .

Doubt the match is going to be sold out so just walk.in and purchase at the counter .

Just purchase from the stadium. Shouldn't be a problem since test matches rarely get even half full so there should be no shortages.

Do not give rank turners to Sodhi n Santner add to that they have Mark craig who could be another one of our off spin nemesis

 

 

 

This guy could be a real problem......

NZs batting is hopeless, apart from 1-2 batsmen none have what it takes to play against spinners. Hope it doesn't turn out be a 1-sided. Test cricket needs a competition by visiting side. 

[WC2011INDIA]

I have a feeling NZ will punch above their weight in this series.

Both these teams are filled with some weird selections

Test team-

Jadhav in test team ????

Nathu, the guy needs to play one season domestic more

Where is umesh who has done well whenever played in India, his reverse swing skill has been an asset

Chahal??????

Let mukund do well this season, Dhawan cant be dropped from squad straight as he hasnt done that bad either. He shud be dropped from 11 not 15 . 

 

Odi team

Where is dhoni or fact of matter any keeper?? Dhoni form is on dip, still better than many with both bat n keeping and fitness to. Kl Rahul n jadhav failed to do well with keeping in IPl forget international matches under pressure on turning indian pitches. Wk is no joke 

Jadhav again ???? The guy could do well in Odi but he is huge liability in field. With bumrah n ashwin not as good in field we shudnt add more liabilities in field. 

Sandeep Sharma on indian pitches??

Sarfraz is really gud player but needs to work really hard on his fitness.

 

Guys like Nathu, sarfraz are really talented but Indian team cap shouldnt be given so easy. So many changes are bizzare as we didnt face a whitewash. 

[MCcricket]

One has to see potential and Jadhav has good Ranji stats as well, he is not a Yusuf Pathan , Chahal is better the Mishra, Saha a better bat n keeper on current form, Umesh needs to find his mojo n is out of form, Sarfaraz, Nathu R ready for int cricket, our team has been stagnating for a while thanks to Dhoni n Patil, need fresh blood especially in ODi, Sandeep Sharma is a BK kinda bowler but swings the ball more and bowls decent yorker so if BK doesn't do well we have a similar option of a bowler who can bowl tight lines

Even rohit has good ranji stats, u may give kedhar a run in home series and he may also do well. But does anyone see him doing well in Sa, NZ, Eng. Before that there Pandey, Nair are in line 

 

Chahal has been a good t20 bowler whose own state association hasnt played him much in Ranji. Let him perform in Ranji 1st then forget declaring him better than mishra or anyone. Bowling in t20, Odi n test are two diff things. 

 

How is umesh out of form, he perfomed in 1st test , didnt in 2nd and before that his last test was against Sa in delhi where bowled brilliantly. So perfomance in 2 out of last 3 test hows that being out of form.  Umesh n Shami reverse swing would be the key to this home season.

 

There is a quite a diff btw Sandeep n Bk of pace. Sandeep was injured last seasons so he needs to bowl this season 1st to get in rhythem. As i said never jump to conclusions from 4 over. YEs he bowls terrific yorkers in ipl but the story is diff when u bowl 10 overs in Odi and field for 50 overs. Yorker is one ball that requires more effort than anything. 

 

Nathu was struggling with his line n no balls in duleep trophy. Thank god opp didnt have Int batsman who would have put him to sword. Even if Nathu gets selected he would be only on bench. Better play domestic n gain more Exp. He still needs more work on him

 

Same with sarfraz, the guy is a terrifc prospect but 1st have a good domestic season where he needs to score big runs. Also work on fitness as these day u cant affor many below avg fielders. 

 

There is a huge huge huge diff in Ipl, Domestic n Int. cricket. 

 

There is a proper way n time to blood youngsters- someone like Kuldeep can be selected now as the conditions would suit to have an ideal debut.

For nathu these pitches wont offer much and he has many bowlers ahead of him so rather he can play domestic n gain more exp n correct his error. Till the time we go overseas nathu would be far more exp as he would have played 1 more domestic season and many India-A games. Debut for him in overseas would be more ideal 

Someone like Manish pandey can be selected as he has done well in domestic m Int cricket , A games and his fielding is also a bonus. So he earns his spot every way.

Agree with Most but Dhawan needs to go and Mukund needs to come in he has preformed for many years now and deserves a chance.

 

Also i think Sandeep Sharma and Sarfraz can be tried in odis. The fitness issue has been massively blown out of proportion, yes he needs to get fitter but he not that bad. Also Jadhav deserve to be in loi's squads atleast he has been another consistent performer for many years now

Dhawan hasnt done that bad to be discarded, even though i dnt see him playing test for long but still he wont be dropped now and he shouldnt be to. As for Mukund right now he should keep piling on runs and he would get a chance and then he needs to grab it. IF dhawan keeps performing badly soon he would be dropped till then mukund needs to pile on runs as fazal looks to be on radar of selectors now. But IF their is anyone who needs to be discarded from Test team that is only Rohit which wont happen until 20 more test. 

 

Sarfraz is someone i really like and i feel he could give an x-factor to this batting but again to soon to be handed India's cap. National cap should be earned and there are player standing in line before him. He would get his chance and i hope he doesnt get it too late. 

 

A good sides nucleas should never be fiddled around much. Players should'nt be dropped n picked easily. With national side mostly u need to force ur way with gud n consistent performances like Kl rahul has done n now manish pandey is putting his case very strongly. For me fast tracking cricketers works better with fast bowling. For batsman n spinner i would like to see their perfomances for few seasons, also consistency and performances  in diff conditions like A-tours. Also an exception can be made with players like Hardik n kuldeep coz their is a skill they represents which is needed in our team.
