I would play Bhuvi as an allrounder and still have three more fast bowlers atleast for first test.

Either this or play 4 fast bowlers with vihari @6 and use him as the spinner to maintain the over rate

Overrate is not the issue. Issue is 20 wickets and scoring enough.For that to happen bowlers have to bat well. What Bhuvi did today will not work.

Pandya is gonna be a big miss ,it's imperative to have that 5th bowler as a filler ,now I think kohli and co will play only 4 bowlers (just like  oval) out of which 1 will be a spinner who'll be useless anyways .

So basically it'll be the 3 pacers who will have to carry out huge workload especially on those pattas in the heat 

I agree .... w/o someone like Pandya, who can get 100s, it could be difficult to play 5 bowlers in SENA .... It will be a double whammy as the extra batsmen (w/o optimizing the batting first) may not do much. And bowlers may not be able to bowl at full steam most of the time

Shami averaged 40 in England

I don't care how much he averages in England. Bumrah and Shami are the only quality pace bowlers we have. Shami has his issues and thats why I said to some extent.

LOL If I not for my Indian pride I would have laughed mockingly at the quality of our pace bowlers except Bumrah and to some extent Shami.
