Yasir Shah could not Trouble Aussies in SCG 2016 where Kuldeep took 5 wickets in a inns. Kuldeep is in different league compared to Yasir & Yasir doesn't even have a Googly to boot while Kuldeep has one of the best googlies in the world. sandeep 1 Link to comment

It will also be on the flatter side with something in it for the pacers. Exactly how the Aussies like it. Good fast bowling is rewarded. With Jadeja out I think he needs to be replaced by a pacer. I feel that we can trust Ashwin with the bat at the Gabba. So of the remaining options I will pick Natrajan over Thakur and ask him to bowl wicket to wicket and build pressure. Saini can be spray gun so I dont think India can carry both Thakur and Saini. I feel it will be a mistake to not have 5 bowlers at the Gabba. Re Pant and Vihari. If Pant cannot keep then you have no option but to call in Saha as the keeper. If Vihari is fit then this means going with 4 bowlers. Pant cannot be dropped and should play as a batsman. Vihari has a hamstring niggle. Not sure if there is enough time for him to recover. My Team Sharma Shaw Pujara Rahane Pant/ Saha (if pant injured Saha) Vihari/Agarwal Ashwin Natrajan/Saha (if pant players as a batsman, Natrajan if Pant players as a batsman and keeper) Saini Bumrah Siraj No Gill after being the best opener in both the tests he played ? 6 hours ago, OpeningBatsman said: Mayank Rohit Pujara Rahane Pant Rohit Ravi shastri Ashwin Siraj Bumrah Saini I don't think Rohit will be allowed to bat again at 4 down when he is already opening the innings Link to comment
urbestfriend Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 One thing for sure...Rahane will go with 5 bowlers...In all 4 matches as captain, he has played 5 bowlers and next match will be no different. sandeep 1 Link to comment
vaul Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Kuldeep Yadav played in first practice match against Aus A - and could not get single wicket in 16 overs he bowled. Link to comment

Sharma Gill (There's a rapport going at the top, so don't change openers) Pujara Pant (just loved P/P combo. L/R. Young/old. Aggro/calm. Hence Pant at 4) Rahane Ashwin Saha (w/k) - feel so much better with Saha keeping. Let Pant do his thing with the willow. K. Yadav Saini Bumrah Siraj Like it, but dont think Ashwin will last the whole test. Nattu to replace him? If Ashwin is fit, no questions about his place. No Thakur please.. he will bowl lollipops.

Warne had a terrific record in Gabba & so does Lyon I think. Gabba is not a green top.. It's a pitch with extra bounce & carry. The zip & bounce is what a wrist spinner craves... If you have quality you will do well. Plus Aussies have a poor record against Kuly in both tests he has played. With attacking field sets he is a beast.. Trundlers Nattu & Thakur will be spanked badly. Gabba is a good batting pitch overall. sandeep 1 Link to comment

I wouldn't be so sure. Seems like there is a rain forecast that may take away big chunks of the game, shortening it up significantly. Tactically, a draw retains the BG trophy. And given the choice, I'd rather not go with Lord Shardul as the 5th bowler tbh. Its a shame that with Vihari injured, we do not even have a part-time bowling option in the team. Link to comment

asterix Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 My team Rohit Gill Pujara Rahane Pant/Mayank Saha Ashwin/Kuldeep Saini Bhumrah Siraj Natrajan The key is to surprise Aussies with Natrajan. He could pick wickets if ball swings. He needs to open bowling with Bhumrah. If Rahane brings him late (say in 30th over then he’ll go for runs). Link to comment

For varsity in pace bowling, can swing the ball in to right hand batsmen or away at angle. Wont miss Saini... Link to comment
adi B Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Sala kisko le jab koi bacha hi nahi ! Out of the remaining lot ,I'd go with : rohit gill chepu rahane pant mayank ashwin saini kuly Siraj bumrah I think Saini and Kuly gives an Okayish option at #8,9 but got to say that's a long tail ,cant do anything though . I'd rather play a 5th bowler who can bat a hit like kuly or thakur instead of saha Link to comment
