Won't it be the solution to play 3 all rounders on a consistant basis with Jadeja at no:6?

Although just one innings is not a very good window to the future ...

 

but  Jadeja's innings yesterday was of a very high quality.  Broad and Anderson were bowling with accuracy and guile, the ball was swinging a lot and there was good bounce which Stokes and Broad used , some balls were spinning sharply from the rough for Rasheed and Moeen.

 

Jadeja showed impeccable understanding of where his off stump is ... left very well as a result, and not just on line but on length too ... did not poke at deliveries outside the off stump ... his bat speed was good and he did not push at deliveries while defending ... defended with soft hands ... but never missed any chance of scoring off bad balls ... spaced his innings well ... farmed the strike when tailenders were there ... negotiated the new ball ... started hitting when no.11 was there ... drove, pulled and cut well.

 

It must be one of the near perfect innings I have seen in swinging cinditions.

 

Jadeja may never play such an innings again ... but if he does, it bodes well for the future.

definitely it was such a level  inns  which ' Jadeja was accused of not having the calibre to produce in his life time'. Scoring a 90 at home when  all things were in his favour was ok. Scoring  68  when it was even  for both teams was better. But  to score 86* when the chips were really down  against such high quality attack  and that too taking the rare oppertunity that came  his way speaks about the character of that man.I am sure he is the 6th position candidate.

Bhuvi is a swing bowler. He will be carted around on the Australian flatbeds.

Unfortunately, we have run out of test matches to experiment and finally field the winning combo.

We hype up the player who is not playing .... so we are like if he was playing, we would have to give solace to ourselves

 

when Jadeja was not playing, ppl were like if he was playing. Now he is playing and just scored a 100 with the ball

Ashwin, Bhuvi, etc as AR is a dumb thought floating around to solace ourselves   .... These guys are ARs when they are not playing. When they play, we want the guys not playing to be playing in their place

For now let us stick with vihari. Jadeja at no 6 with Pant as keeper . If the score is 40/4 we can straightaway assume that the innings is over

 

We need a batting allrounder. And we don't have a pace bowling allrounder like Curran woakes Stokes ..

 

Let's stick to our strength. Am sure we can find some spin bowling allrounders like Sundar, krunal, baba aparjith

Jadeja can play as a specialist bowler in helpful conditions .... not really useful in SENA 

 

we we are developing Pandya as an AR who can bowl with pace. Already won Ind a game so will get opportunities

As I said yesterday, specialist spinners are barely going to take wickets in SENA regularly. It’s better to go in with a batting spin allrounder + 4 specialist fast bowlers to compete better. 

 

Just look at Jadeja’s bowling performance in the second innings that is currently going on.

I said  yesterday that I agree with this concept  ...  but not finding any suitable candidate.

If Vihari picks up 2 wkts now, he will become the new AR material

Vihari to Root, OUT, Vihari has got a wicket in his first Test. And that too of the opposition captain. Root is looking for quick runs, and tries to slog-sweep this but it stops after pitching in the rough and takes a top edge to deep midwicket where substitute Pandya takes the catch

JE Root c sub (HH Pandya) b Vihari 125 (190b 12x4 1x6) SR: 65.78
