Changes for next Test.

[CG]

If pitch is going to turn we should go with 6 batsman with Nair coming in and may be drop Ishant for Kuldeep Yadav.

[Ankit_sharma03]

6 batsman or 5 lets see the pitch 1st

 

Here is 1st thing i wud want to do , take few out of the way calls

1. Get in Aniket.C in squad. If a bowler is troubling best batsman in the world in nets......well what the hell is he doing in the nets. A tall left arm bowler wud give variety to the attack. Also aussies wnt have much idea about him. His footmarks will also give rough for ashwin 

2. Get in parthiv patel in squad to........m nt saying replace saha. But have an option. HE is a good batsman and a left hander. Also he was a lil more pro active with helping in drs. 

 

 

Rest lets wait for the pitch n weather. 

[speedheat]

Drop jayant bring in karun

[Texy]

nair for jayant n maybe mishy for ishant

[tweaker]

Why Jayant the newbie should be dropped.Why not blame the experienced players Rahane & Ishant.

Depends on the wicket .

 

If it is turning track like this , then Nair for Ishant and Kuldeep for Jadhav.

 

If it's a flat track , then probably same team unless Rahul is injured.Then get Nair into the middle order and open with Pujara .

[express bowling]

Our team needs to check whether Shami is fit for the next test.    If yes, include him in the playing 11  although he is not in the squad.  This will be a meaningful addition to the team and not for the sake of it.   He can play a VH trophy match in between if fit.

 

If the track is flattish then play the same squad   ( apart from the above ).  Two front-line fast bowlers are a must in such a case.

 

If rank turner  ( which I am not expecting )   then play Nair in place of Ishant  to increase the  batting strength.

I say have another turner next test and replace Jayant Yadav with Kedar Jadhav. Kedar showed enough in odis that on a rank turner he's more than a decent option and obviously he's a pretty good batsman. I would also look at fast tracking another wkt keeper batsman. Whenever the going gets tough I don't see Saha do much.

[chewy]

Openers need to put together an opening stand

every match one of them gets out inside 20 overs

 

Pujara is playing de facto opener every match

[vishalvirsingh]

ishant should definitely be dropped ..pandya can replace him.

 

shammi is best to replace ishant but if he is not fit than Hardik pandya can replace him.

ishant has not managed even 1 wicket in 14 oevrs in this test where as starc got 2 in 9 over and hazel got 1 too.

umesh has 5 from 25 overs- which is brilliant.

[vishalvirsingh]

saha has failed really BIG in both innings....parthiv should be called as parthiv is a really good batsman and one is assured of a good score through him.

 

I agree Saha is a better keeper.

 

we can play kuldeep and drop jayant.

rahane should also be replaced for sure by NAir.

[kira]

Kuldeep- IN, jayant- OUT

 

Rahane OUT, anyone other than rahane  who can hold a bat- IN

 

Maybe even a new opener although I like both vijay and rahul but we need someone more consistent 

[Lord]

Bhuvi for Ishant if its patta/pacer friendly

 

Karun for Ishant if its a turner

Parthiv cant keep. The 60 odd he makes doesnt compensate for his keeping and dropped catches and missed stumpings.

Get in Aniket......whats he is doing in the nets troubling worlds best batsman. 

How many aussies have seen him????Only very few who must have played in IPl from punjab

HE offers a lot of variety- tall, good pace, left armer

 

No point rushing shami. 

 

[SecondSlip]

Nair for Jayant
