Now Ashwin also doubtful for series decider in Brisbane

[Gollum]

His back spasms have aggravated after batting on day 5  LINK

 

On painkillers, unlikely to heal in time. 40-60 they are saying which is a huge gamble if they play him. 

 

 

[Stan AF]

Ok now it's official. We have enough players for an injured 11, with an extra 12th man.

On the flipside, we might not have enough available non-injured players to field a team.

Should not risk playing him now.

[Clarke]

Shouldn't expect or risk any injured player, Jadeja Bumrah Vihari Pant Mayank or anyone else, the lot. We just need to accept having to play Thakur, Shaw & Natarajan if required.

Most potent weapon along with Bumrah,Umesh in SC conditions

TM should not even think of taking him to field as we need him against England

But do we really need him against England though ?  Local spinners ll do fine at home.

Yes we need him,which local spinners you are talking about? Jadeja's fitness too is a question mark

Maybe Kuldeep,who else?

[Real McCoy]

We have an allrounder in Shastri. get him on the field in gabba. make him open too

[Gollum]

Trust Rahane to make a judicious call, he knows the situation better than all of us and is a level-headed person, won't panic. 

 

Need help from Indradevji now, it isn't possible to fight after these many setbacks without external help, luck. Please let us win the toss and bat first 

[Ankit_sharma03]

dont play him, his body isnt of a dhoni who cud play with injuries and we cant afford to loose him for months at his peak

[urbestfriend]

Bring him in...

[Serpico]

so now there is no choice but play thakur.. or else saha has to bat at 6 and kuldeep at 7 

[Serpico]

this tour has been like a video game. After each match, next level is becoming even more tough.. final boss will be watching shastri coming in as concussion sub

Time to ring up RP Singh from Miami 

[AuxiliA]

Play 6 Batsmen, Saha(wk), Kuldeep and 3 pacers. Our batting is pretty much intact(minus Kohli), so bat big in the 1st inning anyhow. All the bouncy talk aside, Gabba is usually a road, like it was last time we played their. 

 

I feel Kuldeep will be a game changer either way. Could go Warne way or Yasir Shah way, nothing in between. Hope it's the former. 

 

Also, hold your *ing catches. 

[SrinjayDutta]

I agree with above. Pick 3 best Pacers available, have faith in kuldeep..who can contribute small partnerships of 30 at 8. Hope saha grits out some runs.. though play mayank if fit. Playing a fit 11 is important. Aus Pacers and Warner themselves are not 100%. We would have advantage there.

Abbey, tum logo ko ye tension ho raha hai ki playing xi me kaun hoga, main is tension me hoo ki BC, field me drinks kaun carry karega? Lagta hai Jay Shah ko khud daudna padega is baar,

There will be 11 rubber pipes (covid protocol)which will run down from Shastri's dugout to boundary,evrytime if one feels the need just has to wave his middle finger to Shastri and he will be pouring all those energy bottles from the other end,each pipe has to has individual name on it

Note- Shastri will not be allowed to drink as he may pour his drink

[Sandeep99]

Let's all do rain dance

[wanted_desi]

Just play Kuldeep instead of him, you have to be 100% for entire test match. It might work for our advantage too.
