Thakur bowling knuckle ball on boxing day test against Steve Smith, a sight to behold that would be. 

May be they should take one of the youngsters, preferably Krishna, I think he will be good back up for Ishant.

Test cricket is not T20. No nukel balls in Test Cricket

So IPL performance is the only criteria for test selection? Worked in Bumrah’s case, Will it work for all? 

What performance thaku have even in ipl. He hardly completed his 4 overs even in one match. How come this super useless Thakur get a sniff in indian loi team let alone test which would be real disaster.

Bumrah was an excellent First Class cricket bowler before test debut. Could easily bowl 20+ overs a day at pace and with accuracy and had a low average.

Chahar should be there, Shardul, Siraj are untested for non-White ball. Our Test bowlers are-

Bumrah, Shami, Saini, Bhuvi - main

Umesh, Chahar, - reserve

 

 

Bhuvi is injured now and has not played a test in 33 months due to recurring injuries. He is not in contention for the test squad to Australia.

 

Chahar is a swing bowler who may work in tests in England. For Australia, we need hit the deck pacers.

 

Umesh is not good for tests outside Asia. But he is likely to be there irrespective of what we want.

I think ishant will be available and even if not the TM will make sure he is in australia coz i dont think they will take a chance with someone like umesh in such an important series.

Wtf is wrong with these morons. Even ppl with single digit IQ will tell you how awful players like Thakur are. On top of it he is not a youngster either so there is absolutely no fkng upside to it. I would rather go with Ajit Agarkar right now than Thakur (no disrespect to Sir Aggy)

The squads will be picked today. Looking forward to Saini & Gill in test squads, SKY & Samson in LOIs squads.

And please no Rahane in any squad :pray:

^ KLR should play at no-5 instead of Rahane.. His form over last 18 months makes him  a great counterattacking batsmen in the lower middle order. 

 

Need better spinners than Ashwin/Jadeja/Kuldeep on the hard Australian surfaces... Both Ashwin & Kuldeep's fitness is questionable for the 4 tests while Jadeja on Australian ground may not be as effective as he is in India

I think this will be first squad chosen by new set of selectors after MSK Prasad & co...  The current selection committee consists of Sunil Joshi/Harvinder Singh/Jatin Paranjpe, Devang Gandhi and Sarandeep Singh 

 

The above lot has very well gone through selectorial whims & bias and I hope they avoid it
