I think Dodda Ganesh and gentle giant Kuruvilla were the seamers for one of India's tour to WI in the 90's . Thank God we have come a long way from that. Real McCoy, SK_IH, express bowling and 1 other 4
SecondSlip Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Play the team that won us the test series in Australia! 1. Rohit Sharma 2. Mayank Agarwal 3. Cheteshwar Pujara 4. Virat Kohli (C) 5. Ajinkya Rahane 6. Hanuma Vihari 7. Rishabh Pant (WK) 8. Ravindra Jadeja 9. Ishant Sharma 10. Mohammad Shami 11. Jasprit Bumrah Stan AF, AuxiliA and Cricspin 3
Moochad Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 What I think TM will trot out Mayank Rohit Puj Kohli Rahane Vihari Saha Jadeja Ishant Shami Bumrah if fit, BK if bumrah is unfit
maniac Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 5 hours ago, Gollum said: They will provide greentops meaning we have to go in with the 2018 Jo'berg mindset...4 quicks+Pandya. Pant to keep wickets (sorry Saha ), BK will have to play for his new ball skills and batting. Let Jaddu be in the squad as substitute fielder, but no spinner needs to be played in the XI. Vihari to open like in Aus (horses for courses) and he can bowl a few overs of spin to manage over rate and give rest to quicks. Don't need dashers like Hitman (Boult ), Shaw on green mambas...aim for openers should be to see off new ball spell. Vihari's 15 (70) will be more valuable than dasher's 30 (40)...besides Vihari's main problem is hostile short stuff...won't see that over there, line/length of attack will be like the WC SF . Mayank Vihari Che Kohli Rahane Pant Pandya Bhuvi Ishant Shami Bumrah Any other combo and we will lose, guarantee. Rohit played the best knock on an extreme green mamba on our last tour when everyone crumbled. Underrate the hitman at your own peril :)
maniac Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Also on swing and seaming green mamba tracks no one in the batting line up is safe including Kohli. Those are lottery pitches
cowboysfan Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I know they will pick Rohit but its a big mistake and he will be out of the side permanently if they pick him.I dont know if Bumrah will be fit but with him in the lineup we can whitewash the kiwis unless they roll out flat decks.

Wud they risk leaving grass against our bowler i doubt......coz then it ll be ishant n bhuvi who ll very dangerous

The pitches start of as green mambas and then became the flattest of pattas. One bad day in the first innings and then it will be an uphill task. Remember Mccullum 300 game or recent Srilanka game where they managed to draw after Matthews tuk tuking in the 4th innings.

No Rohit is full blood too but lots of love for Vihari as well :) He is the designated no.6. Can’t risk a young brother risking his career especially under the current regime opening Rohit even if he fails is relatively safer before the next ultimatum Edited October 21, 2019 by maniac
Prabhdeep Singh Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Time to upgrade the batting line up further. Rohit Sharma Mayank Agarwal Shubman Gill (A bit unfair on C Pujara) Virat Kohli Ajinkya Rahane R Pant R Jadeja B Kumar (Swing with new ball option, can bat decently) I Sharma M Shami J Bumrah Squad: H Vihari C Pujara U Yadav W Saha R Ashwin Bit unfair on C Pujara, a more attacking number 3 i.e. Viv Richards, R Ponting maybe more intimidating for the opposition. If India want to become a truly ATG great side a attacking number 3 will be a better bet. Although I still think India will win even if C Pujara plays like in Australia.

Real McCoy Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 15 hours ago, neel roy said: Good team..but where is the all rounder..i will go for Noel David as the allrounder cum spinner....he can also field well..also as a back up i need dodda ganesh and thiru kumaran..the reserve batsman should be Jacob Martin and reserve wicketkeeper vijay dahiya.. Sriram can double as a left arm spinner and ajay jadeja can be a medium pacer. venky prasad can hit some lower order runs. Other members you mentioned can be in the squad
Real McCoy Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Seriously my team would be Hitman Mayank Pujara Kohli Rahane Vihari Jadeja Saha Yadav Shami Bumrah Squad should also include KLR, Pant, Ashwin and Ishant
Stan AF Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Real McCoy said: Bharadwaj faded away because of this Now he's doing this to younger players. Real McCoy, express bowling, Mosher and 1 other 4
Stan AF Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Jeez, why are people picking bhuvi express bowling and Real McCoy 1 1

I helped the aussie team win a test in India mate) jadeja (ajay not sir) msk prasad venkatesh prasad abey kuruvilla david johnson bharat arun (if trent knocks one on helmet, send bewda as replacement batsmen) Man, I'm crying. This used to be a regular lineup of our team. Edited October 22, 2019 by Stan AF Real McCoy 1
SUMO Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Hitman Mayank Chepu Kohli Rahane Vihari (all-rounder) Pant(wk) Bhuvi Shami Ishant Bumrah If it's flat track not a green mamba from day 1 then saini in place of bhuvi
Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I really hope we take Saini ahead of umesh n not do the mistake of mixing conditions like we did with ishant n umesh clearly knowing umesh is better at home express bowling 1
Sandeep99 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Rohit Mayank Pujara Kohli (c) Rahane Pant (k) Jadeja Bhuvi Ishant Shami Bumrah Reserves - Vihari, Gill, Umesh, Ashwin Edited October 22, 2019 by Sandeep99
