Whats your team for the final test at the Gabba?

[dilliboy]

Universe is conspiring for the return of Shaw and Saha 

[RajBan]

Mayank

Gill 

Pujara 

Rahane 

Rohit 

Pant (assuming will play)

Ashwin  ( assuming will play)

Kuldeep 

Siraj 

Saini 

Natarajan / Tyagi

 

 

[Gollum]

Play Saha as keeper, Pant as pure batsman. I am sure meek guy like Saha will thrive under Rahane's leadership, will surprise us by batting much better at Gabba. And his keeping was outstanding at SCG.

 

Rohit

Gill

Che

Rahane

Pant

Saha

Ashwin

Shardul

Kuldeep

This is the best lineup we can put out tbh 

 

Win or lose this team won many hearts with all the injuries 

[Sandeep99]

This series, if anything, has really created a great perception of Indian cricket depth and talent. We always knew this was the case. A team which lost 6-7 regulars is still able to compete and even contend for the trophy in the series decider at the fortress of Australia. Wow! My team for the final test -

 

Shaw

Rohit

Pujara

Gill

Rahane

Pant (K)

Thakur (he may add a bit of batting depth)

Ashwin/Kuldeep (depending on fitness)

Siraj

Saini

Tyagi

 

I somehow feel Rahane will gamble and give a debut to Tyagi which may prove to be a masterstroke. He can definitely rattle the likes of his RR captain Smith and Labuschagne with his extra bounce and pace.

I finally understand why he was so silent at Sydney. He needs to be managed very well, a rare talent and a potential all time great bowler..

I completely forgot that Washington sundar is in Aus with the team . He has good technique with bat 

 

so the fit players are 

 

1. Rohit
2. Gill
3. Pujara
4. Rahane
5. Shaw
6. Saha
7. Pant (not entirely) 
8. Kuldeep
9. Saini
10. Siraj
11. Thakur 
12. Natarajn 
13. Sundar 
14. Tyagi

 

Doubtful - Ashwin, Mayank

3. Pujara

4. Rahane

5. Pant

6. Sundar / Shaw

9. Kuldeep

10. Saini

Think we must play Shaw now. Both out of desperation and some foresight. We have absolutely nothing to lose (barring a 36/9 scenario) and there's rain prediced for most of the duration..

Please don't play Ashwin or Bumrah if they're "half-fit". We (and the TM) should keep our expectations in check, go for a draw and get the fukk out of Australia with heads high up. Must pick 7 batsman (inc WK)....

Gill
Rohit
Pujara
Rahane
Shaw
Pant
Saha (wk)
Kuldeep
Siraj
Saini
Nattu/Shardul/Tyagi/Sean Abbott/Doug Bollinger or whatever

This will guarantee another injury to one of the bowlers if Aus bat long. We must play five bowlers and hope Pant is fit enough to keep.

I am not talking about ICF, I was talking about media, why no one is even taking his name as possible in playing eleven.

Oh ... Got it.  Maybe we on ICF are just dreaming and there is some rule that players who were not in the original XVI cannot play.  But then, how is Natarajan a possibility?  We shall see.

Natarajan is not test ready, Kuldeep is.

Have you seen the pics of the Gabbatoir? Filled with grass - we dont need another Spinner. Nattu is perhaps the better choice as Thakur just does not have the x factor. Whoever suggested we pick Shaw needs to have a serious word with themselves.
