Majestic Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I am afraid Shaw might continue with his 0(1) if he gets selected because of this practice game ahead of Gill and KL Rahul. This is a deliberate mediocre bowling from Australia. Link to comment

This is a deliberate mediocre bowling from Australia. Rahul will open, playing mayank, gill and shaw today was to identify who is the second. At this point i would go with Mayank despite him not scored much. One of saini or siraj will be 3rd seamer with Ashwin lone spinner. tweaker 1 Link to comment
figo6762 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Looks like KL, Mayank, Puj, Virat, Rahane,pandu,saha,ash,Shami,bumrah,yadav (1st test)... replace Virat with Gill in the second... and if Mayank doesnt perform, replace with Shaw tweaker 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Pujara should have played in place of Saha Saha got both batting and keeping practice last match. Mosher 1 Link to comment

Serpico Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Kinda lame that rahane sends Vihari before him. In the absence of Virat, he should step up and take the 4th spot but he still prefers the cushy 5th Link to comment

They're not going to start the series with an opener who hasn't played redball cricket in 18 months. It'll be Mayank with gill/shaw OpeningBatsman, raki05 and express bowling 1 2 Link to comment

Score as many as you can before twilight but obviously it will be difficult to do this against better bowlers. I wouldn't mind that strategy, if they can consistently back it up with 50s.

OpeningBatsman Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Rahul not playing both practice match might mean he's not gonna play the first test. raki05 and express bowling 2 Link to comment
OpeningBatsman Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Mayank is the only guaranteed opener among this lot. Rahul hasn't done anything to be first choice opener. express bowling and Adamant 1 1 Link to comment

Adamant Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 So i think Gill will play in the first test unless shaw pulls of a century in the next inning express bowling 1 Link to comment

Of course Rahul will be a part of the eleven from 2nd match onwards and will probably bat at number 4. OpeningBatsman 1 Link to comment
OpeningBatsman Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Why wud rahul not play any of the practice match if he's going to start? His test performance has been bad and you pick him to play first test that without any practice? That would be the dumbest decision in a long time . Adamant and express bowling 2 Link to comment

Kohli rarely plays practice matches. I don't think Rahul will play the first test. Edited December 11, 2020 by express bowling raki05 and OpeningBatsman 2 Link to comment
