It is very strange that Dravid picked just 2 specialist pacers.

     Very true.  As RD himself says these matches are for testing bench strength , then  testing  would be have to be more about upcoming pacers . We almost already know what Nadeem or Jayant offer as spin bowlers .  

My only hunch is , looking at the hot weather , he must have thought 2 spinners are must in this match .

But i believe in him , gives chance to all . Can't find any bias .  

We will see changes in 2nd match.

Saini has been sitting on the bench for a very long time and lacks match practice. Did not get to play a single IPL game or the test against Afghanistan.

 

He was rusty.  But picked up 2 wickets later.

 

 

And at times, he tries to bowl too full to get swing and gets hit in that process. Lot of bowlers get trapped in that full length obsession especially in England and serves half volleys.

Windies did bat well and now Shaw is playing t20 innings. So, did our guys collapsed on day 1 or the pitch was that green?

Some respectful performance at last... Shaw, Mayank are the only 2 guys in this A team who merit a place in the senior team at this time. The performances are clearly showing.

IND A and U19 teams need to face defeats from time to time.
