They can easily play this team Jaiswal Abhishek Samson Sky Iyer Hardik Axar Parag Varun c Bumrah Arshdeep This way 3 pure bowlers plus 3 allrounder batting till 8 No accumulator 2 clutch finisher in hardik iyer

This guy is best batsman in country across formats and destined to be an all time great Its criminal he is not picked in T20 or odi There is not a single batsman in india in both format who is better than him still he is ignored He is not going to be picked for asia cup for no apparent reason even though he avg 36 with 165 strike rate We want justice for jaiswal

It always looks like this in transition and then people come in

No takers for india pakistan series 2003 Historic away test series win in enemy country

Some picks are based on eye test and potential Badrinath was a case earlier for whom people kept crying that he has amazing numbers When he debut he was a dud Some players just are good enough for first class Ipl gives you bit of sneak peak how someone will do against international pace bowling

With no england and Australia tour for long time don't see need of bumrah in test cricket anymore I think others can manage in sa and NZ and in india we don't need any pacer to be honest

Not a bad start to Golden gill era

Not going on ranking but on performance and history . INDIA ENG AUS r proposed to be fixed in structure with 4th team changing every year South Africa of today is average test team at best If it was Sa of graeme smith they would be there as permanent fixture

Australia hasn't won series in india and England for 20 years now Away series are difficult especially among these 3 countries Atleast india won twice in Australia

Abe loser aaj to rehne de aaj usne match jitaya hai

Kamboj should not be dumped so fast He is young and inexperienced and has good action and run up

It is the most amazing sport /entertainment there is in world but only if England india australia play among themselves or maybe South Africa at times How about we break test cricket into 2 groups 1. India 2. Australia 3. England 4. Best team of remaining teams to be decided by WTC like competition So we have these 4 teams play as under 5 test series between India Australia England every year 1 at home 1 away and 3rd year 2 home 2 away and 1 neutral venue 3 test series with the fourth country This way big 3 play 13 test every year and give us this unbelievable entertainment Remaining teams ( sa pak sl nz Wi )can play their 2 test crap to decide the fourth best team .Every year 4th team changes Also invoke test status of Bangladesh Zimbabwe Afghanistan Ireland

To put things into perspective in 100 years of test cricket 370+ has been chased only 10 times , 2 of which was by bazball against India and today will be 3rd Just shows how difficult it is and how ordinary our pace bowlers must be

We all know akhtar chucked and had an stop start career due to poor fitness Waqar has an overrated test career and has really one good ball i e. yorker

I will call the elephant in the room How many great fast bowlers has indian subcontinent genes produced who had remarkable test careers Pakistan - Wasim , Imran India - Bumrah Sri Lanka - Nil Bangladesh- Nil Bumrah is already nearing end with body unable to handle fast bowling Look at the white genes McGrath Cummins Hazlewood Starc Anderson Lillee Botham Broad Steyn Donald pollock and many many more Blacks Rabada Ntini walsh Ambrose marshall nd many other west indian bowlers I think india or anyone in subcontinent will never produce world class pace bowling unit as we don't have the jeans for it and we will always be a good test team but not a great team To be defeated 3 times defending 370 just shows how poor our pace bowlers are Physique of krishna akashdeep are laughable to say just poor jeans

Very innocuous bowler

Surely Jaiswal is a must

Got to be patient Just 23 and 3 match old Played 2 decent knocks in 6 innings Has the talent . Experts here don't understand most young players take time to develop only after 15-20 macthes u realise true potential of someone People were even baying for Gill blood here when he is just 25 and was learning

India needs to keep Ishan Kishan on loop he will eventually succeed He is better than jurel

He is young he will be ok Best batting talent in india since sachin

This can't continue forever Either he needs to get fit for all test or india needs to move on It breaks all the momentum and team combination especially his replacement Long term it's not viable

He is going to be one of the greatest going forward Reminds me of dravid a lot

Time has come to rebuild test team and make a team capable of winning in england Australia One good thing is that batting talent seems to be on a high with jaiswal gill sai pant all special talent and very very young Sundar is a good find too especially long time since a indian spinner looked threatening in england Here are my 2 cents We need to get our test team structure right with emphasis on fast bowlers Jaiswal Rahul Sai Gill Pant Iyer/sarfaraz Sundar/Bawa Kuldeep yadav Bumrah Kuldeep sen Umran/mayank Reserve -Arshdeep , harshit,akashdeep 6 pure bat 4 genuine bowler 1 allrounder Try to work on batting of kuldeep, sen, mayank but no compromise on bowling I think siraj is a loser and is failed investment and should never play for india again Jadeja imbalances this side so should be retired Reddy has no batting talent or bowling penetration he should be dropped too

As I stated in original post have never seen him out of form or struggling similar quality to sachin Can't see him declining only thing stopping him is if he is interested in getting this record. Nothing can stop it but himself

3 is ideal for india so we can fluke some test series win in england Australia like 2007
