Neither of these 2 walking wickets deserve to play this all important test match. Besides, Pappu’s batting is leagues ahead of Pandya’s. Really? Let’s compare their international records Parthiv 25 tests, 934 runs@31, Pandya 11 tests, 534 runs@31 Parthiv in SENA 10 tests, 267 runs@19, Pandya in SENA 7 tests, 283 runs@22 Leagues ahead?

Real McCoy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) This thread is a joke. Even Pappu will laugh at it. I will put my trust in the Indian TM (which is horrible) rather than in ICF "thinktank". Pappu is a backup keeper in case Pant gets injured not as a specialist bat let alone open the innings in the most important match we will ever see. Play Pandya, Bhuvi, Ashwin, Kuldeep even Vijay or Rahul ahead of Pappu PS- They will go with Vihari as an opener which is the right thing to do. He saw the new ball off in the first innings. May not be a permanent position but this is where he will play in Sydney Edited December 31, 2018 by Real McCoy UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

ShoonyaSifar Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Better to consider playing Bhuvi, if he’s fit, will score 25-30 runs and bowl 12-14 overs with a couple of wickets. beetle and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't think they'll change the winning squad other than Rohit. Plus PP shouldn't be in the squad anyways, from forget making him open. beetle and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 7 hours ago, beetle said: Open with Chepu and Mayank Move Rahane to three. Kohli at four Hanuma at five Pant / Pandya / bhuvi / ash / kuldeep at six Pant / pandya / bhuvi / ash/ kuldeep at seven Ishant at eight ( yes...he is better than rajputboy) Jaddu at nine Shami at ten Bumrah at eleven. You want to disturb the main core (Pujara, Kohli, Rahane) of our batting lineup and play Ishant at 8. Our batting line up will look like scrambled eggs after 20 overs. My XI 1. Mayank 2. Vihari 3. Pujara 4. Kohli 5. Rahane 6. Ashwin 7. Pant 8. Pandya/Ishant/Bhuvi 9. Kuldeep/Jadeja 10. Shami 11. Bumrah UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

zen Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Parthiv is probably only in the squad to serve as a replacement wk. he is not expected to be considered for a specialist batting slot /discussion velu, UrmiSinhaRay and Real McCoy 1 2 Link to comment

That is one wkt down from the start. He batted out 60+ balls in the first innings taking the shine off the new ball. Pujara came in at 40/1 after 20 overs. Pujara is our best bat this series and you can't risk him opening against the new ball. Edited January 1, 2019 by Real McCoy beetle and velu 2 Link to comment

Vijy Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Not good enough to serve as an opening bat. He may be better than Vijay and KLR on current form but that's not saying a lot. Link to comment
