If Axar, Jaddu, and Washi are available, Vihari will never play for India. Thats how far he has dropped in the pecking order. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 As much as i like Gill ,i think if its swings having Rohit and Gill opening will be shooting own foot Either Gill comes down or he isn't played We already are going with three ridiculously out of form guys in Rahane,Kohli,Pujara add Gill,Rohit in seaming conditions it looks plain weak Open with Clown or Rahane Bat Gill down Vijy and SRT100 1 1 Link to comment

Point is moot. Kohli should open with Rahane lol. Link to comment

Vihari demonstrated in Aus, he’s more compact in SENA. Agreed, that on form, Sundar is above the pecking order. Link to comment

Agreed, that on form, Sundar is above the pecking order. Sundar is a batsman who can incidentally bowl. He must be considered as such. And whether playing both Jadeja and Ashwin is feasible would depend on the pitch type. BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Jadeja can bowl like Axar, bat like Sundar and field like nobody. He also has fond memories doing well with bat in the world cup vs NZ in the semi final. Ashwin's place is the one that may come under microscope depending on the nature of the surface. But i would back him as he and Jaddu are equivalent to one proper batsman. That means Pandya has no place in the side. Siraj is a must in English conditions. His length will be deadly there if we get swinging conditions. Bumrah is another guy. Ishant will be the third one. Personally Thakur can be deadly with his swing. But that won't happen. With batting Indian middle order needs some changes. Gill down the order. Rahul as opener. Rahul did make a 100 ENgland. Rahane can take rest.

Shami 10. Bumrah 11. Siraj .... Batting till 8 .... 4 pacers .... 2 fast bowlers and 2 swing bowlers .... 2 spinners .... 3 left handed batsmen. Your 11 is better than mine, was tempted to add Shardul. I would definitely go with this. express bowling 1 Link to comment
asterix Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My team for the Finals... Rohit Gill Pujara Kohli Rahane (the way Kohli hugged him today, he’ll play) Pant Hardik Axar/Jaddu (Toss) Ashwin ShamI/Bhumrah (whoever is fit) Inshant I’d rather have Bhumrah in place of Ishant but Ishu is mates of Kohli so he’ll play...

Either open with him or put him at 3. But unlikely to happen. Vihari will also not make it to the final XI. Link to comment

Hope he shows up big time at Lords. We would require 2-3 quick wickets up front from him. I think it would be a low scoring encounter and once again it will be between Kohli and KW. Kohli is in wretched form for quite some time now. Needs to work it out soon. Vijy 1 Link to comment

Just a perception. Jadeja has been much better than Ashwin with both ball and bat in SENA in the last leg of SENA tours starting 2018. Bowling average .... Jadeja. 26.5 Ashwin 30.0 Batting average ... Jadeja 49.8 Ashwin. 18.2 https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?bowling_pacespin=2;class=1;filter=advanced;home_or_away=2;opposition=1;opposition=2;opposition=3;opposition=5;spanmax1=06+Mar+2021;spanmin1=01+Jan+2018;spanval1=span;team=6;template=results;type=allround Link to comment

I think team selection would depend heavily on pitch. if it's somewhat flat and/or the conditions are not overcast, then two spinners should be okay. however, if it's quite green and/or overcast, I would play jaddu (with sundar as part-timer) and 4 pacers. pandya, thakur, siraj, bumrah/ishant/shami.

Jadeja as an allounder brings much more than any allrounder we have got. Three seamers are enough for one knockout test.Pandya can come in during England series. Adamant 1 Link to comment
