Batting is also a major concern for me carrying few passengers in the team.

Yes, but we struggle overseas and thats why we hardly win test series in AUS, Eng, SA because the passengers get exposed in adverse conditions. Make them accountable be it batsman or bowler or all-rounder otherwise the places are taken for granted. . Certainly at international level there has to be accountability, it's not gully cricket where one who owns bat and stumps has to be in team. Even in local tournaments nowadays i doubt if those who own stump and bats get to play every team match.

In this setup there is no accountability the coaching staff is non existent with a cheerleading coach with 0 coaching credentials and a mercurial captain.

Vijay scored 8 & 0 in the game against Eng A. Its high time we think about a different opener for tests.

Not on this forum. Vijay of late has been junk but dont say that because you will accused of many non cricketing things.

[GolGappe]

Most likely line-up: Dhawan, Rahul, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Kaarthik, Hardik, Ashwin, Shami, Umesh, Ishant?

Meanwhile Pant scored another scintilliating 61 in the 2nd innings with a strike rate of 82. India A 143/7 and Pant scored 61 off them

I hope they play him in 1st test...no fear if it flops. Below will be my team:

Dhawan
Rahul
Rahane
Kohli
Karthik
Pant
Ashwin
Kuldeep
Shami
Ishant
Umesh

Dhawan/vijay/rahul/kohli/pujara/Rahane/kartik/ashwin/umesh/shami/ishant

 

If bowling wicket no need to play 5 bowlers

[Room@ Rome]

I think pant deserved for test début as he batted well today during his 61 runs  (55 in the first innings)innings vs  Porter,sam and Bess.

 

Rahane too, well tune with 49 and 48 on loosing cause as we are 167 all out after first 4 gone for 15.

Do you think Shammi good for 4 overs spell in first 45 over?

 

I can Not trust Sharma I, for his second spell as he gave too many runs.

 

Anyway we are the one Who will suffer during test matches

How does Vijay get a nod is something I don't get at all.

What is Pujara doing, why didn't he play this match.After his miserable summer with Yorkshire this guy needed to play.

There was no need for him to play when he is already playing county cricket too. You need to try other players too instead of wasting spots on already established players.

He is preparing for wc19....with the current team management in helm he might have a chance in middle order.

And wont make any difference either,Pujara is a gone case in overseas conditions,we should look past him .Anyways  I dont think he will be given that many chances in this series,but seems he will be played atleast in first two tests,a huge risk

Vijay can't buy runs for India A. He should be nowhere near the team.
