Eng is out of WTC. Ind needs to win/draw the game to secure a spot in the final ... What would be your preferred playing 11? 

 

The pitch is likely to perform similarly so the same team might be continued unless someone like Umesh is brough in :hmmm:

That is tactical. But assuming SDP opens the bowling, you probably would still need one more bowler (may not end in 2 days w/o the pink ball)

nope SDP is playing as specialist batsman, to give him some warmup before LOI series and some entertainment at the end of our innings. Ashwin will open the bowling with Axar. Rohit and Shaw will bowl after first session to give them some break before they come back and finish the tail

For @zen

 

Pujara (c)

Axar

SDP (vc)

SJLP (Sir Jim Laker Pandya) aka Krunal since anyone can run through sides on these pitches.

Bumrah

Jadeja

Ripal Patel

Lukman Merriwala

3 domestic players from Gujarat who can easily walk over the POMS on these pitches.

 

 

Don't forget that Gujarat's teams are broken into 3 and they still do well :dance:

Y'all must have forgot. Shami and Umesh are back. Both will be in. Rest will be more or less same. Mayank for Rahane. He is done. Shaw for Pujara.pujara needs a break. He is tired.

If it is another turner best to play 6 batsmen, sure up the batting, 2 spinners will be enough, Sundar was not required that much.

 

Give Bumrah a rest, more valuable in overseas conditions, play Umesh Yadav.

 

It would be good to reintroduce KL Rahul in test cricket in the Middle order.

S Gill

C Pujara

V Kohli

A Rahane

KL Rahul

R Pant

R Ashwin

A Patel

U Yadav

Will be interesting to see Eng's approach with nothing to lose ... Eng made a few tactical errors including leaving out Bess and preferring to stay on the backfoot to spinners w/ the ball skidding in at times 

 

Either Eng would have lost interest or will go out with a fight (also do proper homework w/o trying to be too clever), so I would not count the chickens before they hatch  

 

My preferred 11

 

Rohit

Gill

Mayank

Pujara

Kohli 

Pant

SDP - great if he can open the bowling for a few overs

Sundar (or a seamer if required to get reverse going)

Axar

Ashwin

Umesh
