Great career won many matches But I feel 100+ tests is a long enough career so should not have any regrets of not playing more for India

Realistic 11 Jaiswal Rahul Gill Kohli Rohit Pant Jadeja Sundar/prasidh/Ashwin Aakash Harshit Bumrah Will drop nkr as bowling not useful and no point playing pure batter at 8

Pant has had lot of luck even when he was playing those great knocks and mostly had catches dropped He has to find a proper method to score runs on consistent basis or samson could come in

Called it 1 year back would have won with him Better test bar than Kohli rohit

First siraj Second krishna Third harshit Fourth akashdeep @express bowling all your picks are failures and losers Plz take retirement from posting about fast bowling and change your name

@express bowlingis wrong about everything Just keeps hyping bowlers watching sppedgun then dump them when they fail He has no knowledge of bowling none of his pich has done well In upcoming bowler only kuldip sen has the ability to suceed

Such a embarrassment looking at Rohit in the field these days that he is our captain looks so fat and ugly and embarrassing I think we need to take a pledge to remove all fatties and never take them back in. I don't care how good sarfaraz is which he is not but with that shape sorry get out So good bye Rohit sarfaraz Ashwin Luckily remaining players look good fitness wise Jaiswal Gill Reddy Kohli Rahul Sundar Bumrah Siraj Jadeja Rana and pant are acceptable but need to get slimmer

Will Rohit resign if we win this match Where will Rohit bat can't break the opening pair He should come at 5 Yj Rahul Gill Kohli Rohit Pant Reddy Sundar/jadeja Rana Bumrah Siraj/akashdeep

Generally when you are in a rut you need new players or new captain to take you out of it So if bumrah wins this test and Rohit having lost a home test series whitewash will he do the right thing and resign from captaincy

Watchout for this thread it's going to be a prophecy and long thread Not a fake eye expert like @maniac Earlier gave joe root

To make way for shami

Ye Rohit sharma kab final karega apna kya nautanki hai 7 din bad match hai captain team kuch final nhin Are pale apna bachha bol de nahin aa paunga kya drama laga rakha

Enough of the so called experts here hyping up useless players like Iyer siraj saini krishna blah blah and when they went bust then dump them and move on to next Sometimes I feel even in Indian selection and team management don't have the serious intellectual discussion for way forward like Australia and England do Maybe we can have one here so maybe team and selectors can see this thread and do something 1. With the resources in hand it's about time india should be winning most of icc trophies and almost unbeatable home and away 2. Team selection should be based on talent performance and merit and fair .No wrong investment for long time like Rahul . 3.Scientific stat analysis should be utilised to know which players performs against best team on most demanding situations and is winning matches My focus is mainly on test team going forward and here is my take at present Players that should be core of team going forward and players who can play atleast 4-5 years easily Jaiswal -best talent probably since sachin Pant - all time great in tests Bumrah -ATG GILL- Had a decent start and is improving slowly . Probably not a huge talent as was expected but decent . Sundar- Real talent both with bat and ball and will improve with confidence . Still work in progress with bat I feel Unfortunately only these are players at present who have shown enough for future performance Akashdeep siraj mukesh Krishna iyer are crap or not worth the investment.Sarfaraz may be decent but with that physique better to let go of him to have good fitness culture So we have 5 good test players for future who are option for remaining 6 Here are some players I feel have talent to succeed in international cricket and can be tried if they succeed . Mayank yadav - yes he is injured mostly but really has some potential and not wayward like umran Reddy - I think he is going to be really special players I like players who succeed at early age and start winning games sign of real future. Sai sudarshan - he seems to be having a really good technique and made that wonderful 100 in South Africa . Kuldip sen I think is really good talent but unfortunately seems like team has moved on from him due to injuries I haven't seen harshit to comment upon Other player of interest munsheer khan Tyagi Axar kuldeep are stop gap talent if anything Jurel should only be wk reserve and not a genuine bat We need to find some others especially batsman to make a real great test team again and main issue will be captain . I think we will need a real intelligent and quiet alpha type of captain mix of dhoni and kohli , in dont see it in anyone of above What are other long terms options

Already booked return ticket to London for tonight Someone give him pr of uk and let the torture end

Just saw him bowl and bat in videos. What a huge talent india has found still so young too His bowling action is wonderful, his lovely wrist action reminds me of dare I say Mohammed Asif swinging both ways i think he will be very potent in helpful conditions This guy is going to be one of biggest talent from india. Can't wait for bgt to see how he goes I think it's slowly all coming together Jaiswal reddy mayank pant Sundar Gill Musheer these are some generational talents coming through all together exciting times ahead Hopefully some more batting talents

Kohli for being a failure for 5 years and Rohit for captaining most shameful moments of Indian cricket first in world cup now this Ashwin can make decision himself because he has been performing well for long I don't want them in bgt Get rahane in if experience is needed

Somebody call up jay shah to reply to this What a loser kohli is

They should give it everything to chase it down It is a historically important moment and let's be honest it's newzealand not Australia Nz has history of losing important matches and india is at home unbeaten for 12 years and this NZ team is average at best Look to chase anything down and not be negative

What is the bcci rule for it officially I m pretty sure kohli has stayed more than 181 days abroad and is not a resident anymore further he has gone with intention to not return so is automatically a NRI Is he eligible to play for team india now? Isn't it a dangerous precedent where players become leech and suck india for money and live abroad and Indian are not able to identify with their heroes Can some one quote the bcci rule book

Itni gali dene ka man karta hai isko

Such a clown thread First hype siraj then abuse him when he fails Same for Krishna Aaron blah blah Maybe so called experts are really novice

For highest test run He is about 4000 test run away I have never seen root out of form and is still below 34 years age So @50 averge needs about 80 innings or 45/50 tests England play 12-15 test every year so in 3 year time he will be 37 and can break it Can he be stopped? Also I m big joe root fan he is criminally underrated and most aesthetic batsman and most complete batsman in world for more than decade in test cricket People don't understand its difficult to score in England
