Who should open? Note that this is not about who "will" open but who "should". Pick two from the options in poll. 

 

Also what would be your playing 11?

Posted (edited)

Even though I back Shaw, I have gone with Rohit as Rohit vs Boult (if playing) can be fun .... Agarwal of course continues 

 

Playing 11 (based on those likely to be in the squad)

 

Agarwal

Rohit/Shaw

Pujara 

Kohli 

Rahane

Pant/Vihari .... Pant has played better than Vihari in SENA (vs good bowling attacks)

Saha/Vihari

Ashwin/Jadeja

Saini

Shami

Bumrah 


If Pandya (batting test avg 60+ in Asia, which is better than Ranji avg of many batsmen) were available to bat at 6, the 2nd spinner could be played depending on conditions

In that case, why should Shaw do all the hard work only to be dropped for tests in Ind?

Pant, even if he  does not keep, can be played as a batsman .... also an opportunity for him to hit the 3rd 100 in his 3rd series in SENA
