England vs India, 5th Test, 7th-11th Sept - The Oval

[Rasgulla]

Hack pant flopping game after after.. Vihari has pant highest score in 1 innings alone 

[Kothili]

Imagine Ass3 (in his obnoxious tone) saying "He is a pillar of our batting" on Jinx - the sad sack. 

[zen]

If/when we get bowled out tomorrow, our pace bowlers would have bowled on all 3 days (and would possible on day 4 too) in the "5th" test

 

In hindsight, we should have rotated the pace bowlers in this long test series. On top of that we dropped Pandya

They already have bowled 30 and they ll bowl 10-15 more ....

If we had gone with 4 bowlers from start by now all wud have been bowling like trundlers

we lost 3-1 with Pandya and lost 2-1 is SA..time to move on. Vihari with bat is much more assured than Pandya with bat. So , it proves.

Now he ll say the scoreline could have easily 4-1 in their favour but still the boys were better than players of previous generation.All that with a smug face and arrogant tone.

Vihari and Pandya do not even compete with each other and play different roles .... That 1 test win is due to Pandya .... Both of them can play 

 

Cut the hate

nope atleast u had 1-1 wins with pandya 

I dnt remember the last time we won with 6 batsman 

 

Instead what u have done today is bowled ur fast bowlers 30 over on the last test of 5th series and yet they wud bowl 15 overs more

Had u started with this by the end of the series higher chances bumrah wud have been injured, shami retired, ishant trundeling 

 

Go to aus on pattas where 500  runs are put on board same thing will happen, n u knw thw work load on bumrah n bhuvi 

 

If u wanna play vihari u can replace him with a batsman since none are scoring apart from kohli, dnt give ur batsman a free ride and add cushion to hide their failure

Even if pandya fails with bat he contributes with ball, even if he doesnt take wkts he gives ur fast bowlers rest.....and we have fast bowlers not trundlers ....they shud be used at full steam. 

 

Everyone has a job in the team to do and right question is to make pujara, dhawan, vijay, rahul(somewhat) , rahane liable ....and give youngsters like pant, pandya breathing space 

Play as many batsman as possible its all in head, jst becoz ur batsman are failing dnt increase the workload on bowlers ull break them to and it has happ in 2013-14 (when zak broke down, shami and ishant dropped pace)

The match was already over the moment the bowlers failed to take last three wickets quickly. 

Yesterday you were quite over the moon with Virat's kaptaani

Australia needs 4 Pacers and one spinner.

 

Can pandya play good on backfoot?

Ashwin plays a bit late. So in Australia he might struggle with bat.

 

Now we need to identify top 5 bats. Only kohli and pujara. 3 spots for grabs. (Openers and batsman 6)

4 bowlers are ishant,siraj,bumrah and ash/jadeja

Wicketkeeper - pant

Floating spot - vihari, nair, pandya, vijayshankar, bhuvi

 

On patta 500+ score tracks need a proper bat. So vijayshankar or nair or vihari depending on how the track is.

 

Good bouncy track 350-400 pandya should get in.

A series of being unable to seize the moment. Every loss has many only if moments. 

Some great moments and performances, many positives. Many negatives and weaknesses exposed which need to be fixed if we want to remain the best.

Biggest issues lie at the top, the captaincy, the selection.
