Virat Kohli: Bhuvi hasn't played a lot of test cricket recently, Umesh picked 10 wickets in his last match and was in good rhythm so we picked him.

See this Why Virat is a dhakkan Captain n whole team Mngmt is foolish

• If he was short of match practice why did u take him, Siraj Ch**** hai jo Match practice men hai aur itni wkts le raha hai
• Umesh took 10 wkts in India With SG ball, he was always good In India as a bowler. Why cant these guys differentiate btw conditions. They have done same mistake with dhawan n rohit before

Umesh over bhuvi wasn't an issue. Not playing spinner was the real blunder.

Yep, neither was required as 4th seamer

it was a strategy which backfired , that happens. 

But m questioning the thoughts behind squad selection . Teams are selected for whole tour and this reflects no thinking. Also the issue of not being able to differentiate in conditions is becoming huge

Should have played Kuldeep

Ghanta. Someone who went for over 4 and didn't take wickets changes the while match. The pressure gets released after ishant and bumrah spells every time

Umesh over bhuvi was the right choice but both were wrong choices since a spinner should have been replaced by a spinner. It's Umesh who should take the blame and not the captain since ideally Umesh should have done well here. But even after being around for a decade he hasn't evolved a bit. Umesh should be dumped for good now.

They misread the conditions. They bought the media hype. Well played Australia. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

What a terrible justification. If he hasn't played Test cricket or longer format recently, would it not have been better for him to play for India A vs NZ A and not those T20s.

So what is he doing in Aus then? Shouldn't you have asked him to play Ranji trophy to prove fitness?

kuldeep also would have gone for 4-5 rpo like Umesh. What is the evidence Kuldeep would have done well here or even Jadeja? People are thinking like pitch was a rank turner.  There was not a lot of turn in the pitch but this Lyon will trouble our batsmen on any pitch with his consistency and our batsmen not making adjustment to counter his outside off line like Hashim Amla used to do in India.

Jadeja would have troubled the lefties with the rough & he is the most accurate spinner we got. He is worth a try when even Ashwin isn't that consistent & tries 20 things in a spell.

but When was the last time Jadeja utilized the rough? Even Ashwin cant do that against right handers and both are similar wicket to wicket type of bowlers.  We think the same about Ashwin that he should utilize rough but he cannot.  We are seeing Lyon utilizing rough and thinking our spinners will do that to forgetting that our spinners are different.  They are not used bowling in rough.

Bhuvi averages 26 both home and away, how much does Umesh average? He averages below 27 in every single country he played including India, except Australia where he played 1 match when injured. He averages 21 in 2017 and 20 in 2018

 

Right choice right choice right choice. You can shout all you want you just come across as ignorant

Intelligence is temporary, chutiyapa is permanent. 

[Suhaan]

When there are so many talented pacers waiting in the wings we are still going with a tried and tested failure of all time Umesh

Its no rocket science to understand his worth in SENA

Will it take light years to understand that Rajpoot,Siraj,Saini are currently way better than Umesh and of course we need bowler who can extract bounce in these pitches,umesh cant do that suddenly when he hasn't done it in past as he is a skiddy bowler, simple

It was the second level error. 1st level was of course not playing a spinner.

Still defending his team selection like an idiot. Ravi Shastri would have nodded yes with goti in his mouth.

Worth a try. Wasn't bad at the oval and didn't bowl worse than opposition spinner unlike Ashwin.
