Extra cushion batsman is also usually useless.Atleast Pandya will get 15-20 runs lower down the order. AND HE HAS SHOWN FAR MORE APPLICATION N FIGHT THEN OTHERS Link to comment
adi B Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 This a long series with few days to rest in between , also we don't have too many backup pacers so their workload have to be looked upon and this is where the fifth bowler (pandya here ) plays a part and fills in a few overs so that the pacers are fresh for every spell . Pandya has shown ability to resist and fight when batting which is enough to give him a few more chances rather than playing a 6th batsman express bowling 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Yes, 4 specialist batsmen need to be replace 4 jokers who are no more than passengers in these conditions. Edited August 5, 2018 by Straight Drive Link to comment

Switchblade Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I believe Lords after being relaid will be a flat pitch so lets see if our batsman can score there or not would like to see Pant playing at Lords. Link to comment

Agree. Same batsmen will cash on much batsman friendly conditions at Lord's. It is at the other grounds like in Edgbaston where we needed quality batsman. Good thing is one test match less to bother about. The next one will be better. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

We would need umesh there . I would only makmake the swap for dhawan with pujara and keep murali vijay on notice for next two tests . If he does not do well, replace him with pant/shaw depending on how you want to use DK. We need some experience and if DK comes to form he could be vital. Pujara and rahane need to hit at least 1 century and 2 fifties each in the next 4 tests . If they don't it should be curtians for their international career. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I don't know who is batsman who is bowler anymore lol Judging by the first test Umesh, Ishant, Pandya showed more application than the top order batsmen.

We must play with 2 spinners and then think about remaining 9 players. But 2 spinners is a must for 2nd test.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment
velu Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 ever our specialist batsmen are doing nothing Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Imagine KOhli had not clicked lol It would have been an absolute disaster. I think they will prepare similar decks hoping conditions also favor them. Not that pitch was hard to bat on. But the conditions made it very hard. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Prithvi Shaw scored a ton recently versus saffers A.The kiddo is in damn good form.Even Shubman is worth giving a try and replace the FTB's who flopped miserably in SA.These two newbies are a strong ray of hopes.Will the big cheerleader cheer for them is the big question though.
