fineleg Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 If fit, I'd vote for Bhuvi as 3rd seamer for SA Tests. Not many here may like him in Tests (ODIs sure choice), but I think for SA Tests go with Bhuvi as 3rd seamer. Shami + Umesh(or another as 2nd) Maybe if needed Hardik as 4th seamer. sandeep 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hain? Most here are picking him as 3rd seamer in SA. I believe Umesh might not be the 2nd choice pacer in SA. Link to comment

I thought other than cricketics and radhika not too many pick him in Tests. Good. Link to comment

renjith Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 only shamis position in bowling lineup is guaranteed. rest we need to pick from umesh, bhuvi, inshant, bumrah and siraj on form. Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Umesh is guaranteed. There's no way anyone is dropping him in tests and for good reasons. Vilander and The Dark Horse 1 1 Link to comment
Pollack Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Shami, Umesh and Ishant(unfortunately). But since kohli has slightly better brain in tests, bhuvi has some chance. Link to comment

Kohli maybe tempted to select Ishant Sharma as 3rd seamer. Logic same as ever: bounce. Plus he is a Sharma. Added benefit Delhi pal. Link to comment
Mosher Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Bhuvi should be in the playing 11. His batting is an added bonus. Shami and Umesh should be the other 2 pacers. But have a feeling that Ishant will sneak in. speedheat and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment
Forever Indian Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Make no mistake guys, we are not getting any flat decks in SA! The type of spitting cobras we doled out to them when they toured us, they will return the favour. They will also want to keep Philander in play throughout so there will be swinging conditions. Bhuvi will therefore be a must on that tour. The only tour outside subcontinent where Bhuvi may not get much from surface is Australia, everywhere else Bhuvi is a must! beetle, The Dark Horse and Muloghonto 3 Link to comment
Samcric Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 He would be the second seamer if SA prepare green pitches. For me, he would always be ahead of Umesh in the pecking order due to his control. Don't expect him to make many runs though if we get green pitches. In fact, even the batting of guys like Ashwin, Saha, Pandya may be shown as insufficient and it will bowl down to the runs made by top 5. Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am in favour of starting with Shami Umesh Bhuvi Pandya Ashwin for the first 2 tests in SA After that, we can adjust based on actual performances. AuxiliA, Vilander, RAZPOR and 5 others 8 Link to comment

Texan Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Bhuvi should be in first 2 picks in SA along with Shami. Third seamer preferably we should go with Bumrah. Ideally would have preferred a left armer, but we don't seem to have one who is good enough. Sran has been out injured for a long time now. Should stay away from Ishant, but I am sure he will sneak in. Pandya and Ashwin to complete tge line-up. Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Umesh and Bhuvi bowling in the Dharamsala test 2017, against Australia. The greenish pitch had pace, bounce and seam movement Watch from 3.00 minutes to see the hostile spells from Umesh and Bhuvi .... making the Aussies hop, jump, get hit on the body and get out. Watch at 7.50 to see last wicket from Umesh As we may get similar tracks in SA .... I beleive Shami, Umesh, Bhuvi and Pandya may do very well there. http://www.bcci.tv/videos/id/4570/ind-vs-aus-2017-4th-test-day-3-highlights Edited August 28, 2017 by express bowling Mosher, Forever Indian, Rightarmfast and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Absolutely world class bowling. If these bowlers were troubling Aussie batsmen at home, they can terrify South Africans in their own den! express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment
