Gollum 25,356 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Mosher 1 Link to post
Stan AF 4,343 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) 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. Edited January 13 by Stan AF Link to post
express bowling 41,709 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Should not risk playing him now. sandeep, BacktoCricaddict, Rightarmfast and 1 other 1 3 Link to post
Clarke 3,012 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Link to post
Suhaan 10,248 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 express bowling, BacktoCricaddict, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to post

Yes we need him,which local spinners you are talking about? Jadeja's fitness too is a question mark Maybe Kuldeep,who else? SrinjayDutta, Mosher, sandeep and 1 other 4 Link to post
Real McCoy 5,247 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We have an allrounder in Shastri. get him on the field in gabba. make him open too express bowling, Mosher, SrinjayDutta and 1 other 4 Link to post
Gollum 25,356 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 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 BacktoCricaddict and AuxiliA 2 Link to post
Ankit_sharma03 22,123 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 Link to post
Serpico 886 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 so now there is no choice but play thakur.. or else saha has to bat at 6 and kuldeep at 7 Link to post
Popular Post Serpico 886 Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 (edited) 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 Edited January 13 by Serpico Forever Indian, maniac, Frustrated and 12 others 15 Link to post
AuxiliA 333 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Norman 1 Link to post
SrinjayDutta 490 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Link to post

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 Rightarmfast 1 Link to post
wanted_desi 3,167 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just play Kuldeep instead of him, you have to be 100% for entire test match. It might work for our advantage too. Link to post
