Gosh I thought our closest loss was against pak in chennai yeah lol similiar to sachin in chennai, sunny have a 4th innings century in that match.. we would have won the series 3-2 had they chased it down. It took 40 yrs after that to win a series in aus http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Matches/MatchScorecard.asp?MatchCode=0809 Link to post Share on other sites

Gollum 25,299 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If TM plays both Boom and Ash as part of 4 man bowling unit and we lose them in 1st session, heads must roll starting with Shastri. Literally can't think of anything more stupid than that. Anyway excluding Kuldeep means they aren't serious about winning the match or pushing Aus close, such defensive mindset almost never goes unpunished against a side like Aus at home.

Sandeep99 2,985 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Aussies are amazing at Gabba but i want few things to go our way - 1. We win toss, bat first, put 350 on board - Gill and Pant with centuries. Bat for at least 120 overs. I'll be happy if Pujara sleeps on the wicket to make this happen. 2. Don't risk Ashwin and Bumrah. We have more important series against England coming up. I have full confidence that the remaining bowlers can put pressure if we score decent amount runs. 2. For god's sake, please don't drop catches. Slips will be in business throughout. Practice enough and catch them all. Link to post Share on other sites

Script is very fluid. Can change to not get into trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
WC2011INDIA 1,981 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I am pretty sure that Australia will use Sholay ka sikka to win the toss. Link to post Share on other sites
OpeningBatsman 2,408 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) If saha is playing then we can't play 5 bowlers. 5 bowlers+ saha means our tail starts at 4 wickets down. Edited January 14 by OpeningBatsman express bowling 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Real McCoy 5,237 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I would have taken 1-2 at the start if 36 ao never occured. I thought we were gonna be smashed 4-0 just like in NZ. We won a test and drew another but that 36 sticks like a sore thumb. Come on India beat the Aussies at the gabba with whatever we have Link to post Share on other sites
zen 11,179 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 (edited) Considering injuries, can try the below: Rohit Gill Pujara Pant Rahane Saha Sundar -can bat and bowl decently (other option is Shaw, but can be a walking wkt. Not sure on Agarwal’s fitness) Kuldeep Saini Siraj Natarajan/Thakur Edited January 14 by zen Link to post Share on other sites
express bowling 41,581 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Team and batting order I expect 1. Gill 2. Rohit 3. Pujara 4. Rahane 5. Pant 6. Saha 7. Sundar / Ashwin 8. Shardul 9. Saini 10. Kuldeep / Tyagi 11. Siraj coffee_rules and OpeningBatsman 2 Link to post Share on other sites

LordPrabhzy 2,537 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hoping for Shaw ( he would do better on a pitch that is bouncier and comes on the bat nicely) Rohit Pujara Gill Rahane Pant Saha ( if Pant is fit to keep then get in Tyagi as 4th pacer) Kuldeep Saini Siraj Natrajan Hojoborolo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

coffee_rules 10,320 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Unlike last 3 tests, they haven't announced playing 11 yet. They should have known by now. When will they make the call? After they all finish their morning rituals? Link to post Share on other sites

Gill Rohit Pujara Shaw Rahane Pant Ashwin Shardul Kuldeep Saini Siraj Thank me later. Mostly likely yes. But I like @express bowling's team. Saha will add balance with his better keeping and can guide the lower half as he did in the practice game. Kuldeep is must to surprise Aussies. If He can do the job half of what Bumrah does, we are golden. express bowling 1 Link to post Share on other sites
