Defeating Australia in a test match played on a fast, bouncy track -- We are ready to win multiple test series outside Asia now


Recommended Posts

I care about winning in SA and AUS right now, during the next tours. Our batting did fine in both SA and AUS, but our bowlers couldn't do it last time.  

 

The question is how much better did our bowlers get?

 

Is Shami fit enough to play multiple test matches across multiple series? 

 

Can Ishant recreate his good form like that of our last tours of ENG and NZ?

 

Is Umesh going to be consistent?

 

Is Bhuvi going to get conditions that favor him?

 

Who is our overseas spinner?

 

What is the proper combination for overseas? 6 batsmen or 5 bowlers or do we play an allrounder in Pandya/whichever of Ashwin/Jadeja.

What should be the team combination? 

1) 6-4 or 2) 5-5 

Batters -  Vijay, Rahul, Kohli, Pujara, Rahane, Nair 

Bowlers - Umesh, Shami, Ishant, Bhubi

Spinners - Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep (all of them are decent batsman too)

All rounder - Pandya

 

If you have to get 3 off from here, who do you choose?

For next series in SA, there will be 4 Tests. If the pitch assists batting then I don't see Ashwin to be in. I would rather take Jadeja and Kuldeep as spinners and 3 pacers and 5 batsman. 

If it has help for pacers, then Ashwin is in, Pandya is in and 3 other pacers. Jadeja and Kuldeep sits. 

Only way we can go with 6 batters when we have to save the last test to win the series and pitch has decent help for batters. 

 

We are to play 4 Tests in early 2018.
