Guest Hiten. Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I say we should open with IKP instead of Jaffer. Drop Jaffer, get Bhajji in. EDIT: removed the -ve part Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We counted Ausi's out a little too early I think during the Perth Test. Our batsmen being [edited] as usual, let the bowling effort of our team down once again in this series and for the millionth time in our cricketing history. They can shove their "star" status up. 4th Test: I say we should open with IKP instead of Jaffer. Drop Jaffer, get Bhajji in. Yes. Next time with the 'great batting lineup' we have, pls. dont count them out early. Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 no need to get harbhajan. No 5th bowler business for us ever again. I would go with the same 11. Link to comment
Dirty_South Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Why Bhajji when we have Motu ! Link to comment

theguyinallblue Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My Team would be Jaffer ( Yes, i would give him another chance...as he always comes up with spot saving innings :D ) Sehwag Dravid Sachin VVS KKD ( Yes, i would drop Ganguly..he was spiritless in this match..He needs to recover from illness) Dhoni Pathan Kumble R P Swing Ishant.

msb1991 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 KKD ( Yes' date=' i would drop Ganguly..he was spiritless in this match..He needs to recover from illness)[/quote'] That is insane! Ganguly has been tremendous this year, you cannot drop him after one poor match and rumours of illness. Link to comment
msb1991 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 2. Pathan I don't think that we can put Pathan in such a high pressure role. Opening the batting and possibly the bowling is a great work load and a lot to expect from someone. Link to comment
living Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Leave Pathan alone, he has the potential to become a very good all rounder!! Let him play @ number 7!! India will probably go with the same line up. Although maybe its time to give KKD a chance ahead of Jaffer. Link to comment
beetle Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 yeah...don't put too much pressure on pathan.And lets not start the allrounder this and that BS.Just let him ease in nicely back into the team. Get Kartick in for Jaffer. Link to comment
Grim Reaper Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I agree, drop Jaffer for Karthik. Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Will Irfan Pathan play at Adelaide? What abt Ishant Sharma/HS? Team composition? Team composition for Adelaide - Discuss. Will Irfan Pathan play at Adelaide? What abt Ishant/Bhajji? Team composition? Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Even though Pathan can bat, do we weaken our batting by dropping a bat for a bowler? or do we take KKD instead of WJ and then omit one of Pathan or HS or Ishant Sharma? What will be best for Team India at Adel? Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 i wouldn't take kkd over jaffer.. i would rather replace jaffer with a bowler then a batsman its final test, and i don't have any hope that kkd would score runz.. i would play jaffer again and would leave bajji out again, though with all due respect to him.. pathan and Ishant both deserve to play the final test..

msb1991 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Irfan must play, you can't drop a man of the match in a won Test match. Link to comment
