I want to bring a new nams.

 

If Shaw is not fit, I will open with Karthik.

 

Karthik play as pure bat and opens with Rahul. Pant contiues as keeper. 

[Pandya_Power]

I think we should persist with Rahul for sure. Vijay was shaping up nicely as well till he playe that shot. Besides, how fair is it to blood Prithvi in on the fastest wicket in the world?

 

I'd drop Rohit for Vihari too - Vihari demonstarted a very compact technique in the one test he paleyd in Eng. 

[Vilander]

I think Vijay and KLR should open. They found their method in the second inning.  When Shaw comes back one of them should make way.

I prefer Rohit Sharma over Shaw even if he is fit. This is my top order.

Karthik won’t do a bad job. I can see hi

actually scoring a fifty. 

[Pollack]

Shaw won't be available.

Shaw and Rahul should be interesting.

For now, Rahul and Vijay is a safe option.

Karthik isn't in the squad. Pappu Patel is.

Good to see, he knws their is some technical issue that has comeup in his batting.

I like seeing player acknowledging it and working on it . Result may not come soon but they will eventually . Bad patch wont last forever

The majority want a change to the opening pair in one way or the other

does majority knw that with shaw being unfit their is no other option apart from parthiv

[ShoonyaSifar]

One of the complaints we have had with Kohli-Shastri is too many frequent changes. Now that we have won this test, will be better to stick to the similar 11 with the only change being Shaw, if fit, for Vijay.
