mishra Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Ball is going to swing and swing miles. We have had wettest May since record begun. All our league games are turning into low scoring occasions. Now its advantage kiwis for now Link to comment
mishra Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Unless pitch curators do some magic, expect this to be going to be worst batting wicket on swinging conditions we have ever played. Link to comment

Regardless, if Indians are switched on from ball one, they'll swat NZ aside. No contest. Another issue is grass. If there is any , expect it to have grown even more. Wicket me must get has to be made on non English soil. Even that will give problems even if it becomes sunny. Five day test is only possible if someone puts some grass killer on top of pitch. Even then, ball will do tricks and may come slower after potching. Link to comment
express bowling Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) ICC would definitely want the final match to last 4.5 days plus. Plus it is being said that it may be sunny. So, I expect a pitch and conditions which won't be too favourable to seam bowlers. If this is the case then we would need 3 proper quick bowlers + Jaddu and Ashwin. Bumrah Siraj Ishant / Shami Jaddu Ashwin Shami comes in only if the pitch is quite flat and his skiddy pace is needed. Edited May 18, 2021 by express bowling Mosher 1 Link to comment

I understand the sentiment but ground reality so far is, This is wettest may we have had since records are being collected. Thats about a century old. It is cold and raining everyday. Feels like March. We havent had any sunny spell so far. Grass in fields are greenest we have ever seen. Its going to be tricky to make selection. We must be absolutely sure, We dont want to repeat what we did by selecting two spinners. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ind-in-eng-2018-1119528/england-vs-india-2nd-test-1119550/full-scorecard Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Shardul vs ashwin would be the toughest question whole england red ball series including wtc. The kind of depth thats needed in england shud actually make both play. Ashwin is a such fighter n champion that ill never want him to be dropped in such scenarios. Matchups and conditions will play a huge role. If its seamer friendly ishant is a must for me in XI. Edited May 19, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

Newzealand has three lefthanded bats in Latham, Conway and Nicholls and Ashwin is brilliant against them, according to me we should definitely go with Ashwin. Also he can easily score 20 odd runs with the bat too. Link to comment

Both Mitchell & CDG are competing for that A/R spot. If Rose bowl is drier its possible that Ravindra might play ahead of these guys & Santner or Ajaz will get a shot as well. Link to comment
