Assuming we lose this test. There is a very real chance we might be 0-13 by mid next year. We play Aus away next and then Eng for 5 tests as well.

2 whitewashes after 13 years toh chalta hai : Vada Pav Sharma

Yeah looks like a robot bowling. No speed, no swing, no thought!

I think in Perth they will go for Rana ahead of Mukesh, Gambhir will have the KKR bias.

Yup that's wishful thinking on my part, India hardly opts for the horses for courses approach. They will probably play him in one of the venues and basis his performance will decide if he is to be continued with further.

If we have to play him, we should either in the pink ball test or Melbourne. These are the only 2 venues where I see him being remotely successful.

Gutkesh got 6 wickets in the 1st innings. Wouldn't be surprised now if he plays atleast in one of the tests in Australia.

Yup 5 years before I was also quite confident of Kohli overtaking SRT's tally. Just goes to prove how difficult it is to be consistently good for 24 years! Kohli has just 16 years in international cricket and he looks done.

Gutkesh now has 2 wickets

However spicy it may be but 88-9 isn't justified. Looks like players on holiday mood

Match going on today. India A currently tottering at 82-8. Likes of Abhimanyu Easwaran, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan in action

India is buying too much into its own Bazball hype. Tbh we need only 2 Bazball type players in the team. It's clear Jaiswal and Pant are best suited for this. Rohit needs to drop the selfless team man gimmick and bat like a proper batsman, Gill and Sarfaraz too need to stop pleasing their social media followers by being over attacking.

Need Shami for BGT

I have no hope from Rohit's captaincy. When things are going well he looks a million bucks but when the opposition puts him under a slight bit of pressure he completely wilts. Totally reactive captain. Anything less than 0-5 will be a miracle for this team tbh.

Rinku should be a all format player. Talented + mentally tough, I don't know why we haven't atleast started grooming him in tests. He doesn't even seem to be on selectors radar.

5 batsmen + Pant + 1 spin AR + 1 pace AR + 3 pacers is the way to go

People who are saying we don't need Nitish or should play a proper pacer instead of him don't realise that we need a player who can hold a bat coming in at no.8. Last time Shardul played crucial match winning knocks coming in at no.8 in Aus and Eng. With the top order in the form they are in we need all the batting we can possibly get. Won't expect much from Bumrah, Siraj and Akashdeep.

First test is in Perth, doubt they will go with 2 spinners there. Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne they will probably go in with 2.

Seeing the precedent MSD set where he continued as captain for 3 years after the twin whitewash in Eng and Aus gives me less hope. Pretty sure Vada pav sharma will say 1 whitewash in a decade toh chalta hi hai

Yes I want Washington as well, but this is the squad our brain dead management are likely to go with.

Guessing this will be the squad for the 1st test of BGT @Lord @nitinbwj will get a proper hammering! Vada Pav Jaiswal Gilly danda Chokli Klpd Rahul (Need eggsperience saar and ohh sarfu can't play pace) Pant Nitish Sadeja (eggsperienced) Akashdeep DSP Bumrah

I'm a 100% sure now that KL will replace Sarfaraz in the XI for BGT. That will be TM's bandage solution to the massacre that has happend

Guessing this will be the playing 11 for Perth Test. Motu (Assuming he is not leaving for child birth) Jaiswal Gill Kohli Sarfaraz Pant Nitish kumar Reddy Sundar Rana Akashdeep Bumrah We will play with 3 quicks and pace bowling AR Nitish. Damn really will miss Pandya, lazy mofo doesn't want to play tests
