Trichromatic Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Combo 1 Jaddu Ashwin Bumrah Siraj Ishant 2 spinners, Jadeja is as good as any #7 batsman. Is Ashwin as good as 4th pacer? He can be better batsman than 4th pacer. Combo 2 Jaddu Bumrah Shami Ishant Siraj 4 pacers - that's only diff Combo 3 Jaddu Thakur Bumrah Ishant Siraj Thakur maybe as useful as Ashwin and Shami with ball and as good as Ashwin with bat. Combo 4 Jaddu Ashwin Thakur Bumrah Ishant/Siraj Advantage - batting upto #9. Is Thakur as good as 3rd pacer? Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Ishant Siraj Ashwin Jaddu Bumrah with 5 lefties and having an edge over williamson Ashwin is a must If i have to consider thakur it ll be for Bumrah, So ill keep that option open till last . An outswing bowler like Thakur can be very very handy also the lower order will make a difference in this match. Also thakur is a fighter and in such situation such players can change the game Edited June 14, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Lord 1 Link to comment
AuxiliA Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Jadeja can play as batsman alone imo. He will be as good as Vihari, Mayank or Rahul. Him being a lefty is a huge plus. If he is dropped, it will be a historic blunder. Now, 3 pacers will definitely play. Bumrah and Ishant are lock. By the looks of it Siraj is ahead of Shami in the eyes of Kohli. So likely will play. That leaves one spot and 3 contenders- Ashwin, Shami and Thakur. Shami will make the tail too long. So he sadly has to miss out. Ashwin and Thakur, both are similarly capable with the bat. But even though conditions favour Thakur, Ashwin is a much superior test bowler. NZ have plenty of LHs and they will be much more scared facing Ashwin than Thakur. Also if top 3 pacers aren't enough, there's little Thakur could do. Jadeja Ashwin Ishant Bumrah Siraj(mind) / Shami(heart) sandeep and tweaker 1 1 Link to comment
Norman Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Ashwin to negate the left hander threat (there's a pretty big chance of Santner playing at no.7 to allow for a four prong seam attack for NZ... So that makes 4 left handers in their top 7) Jadeja makes the team as a batsman alone and him being the left hander can be huge bonus as well. I hope the TM uses him (and Pant) as a floater in the batting order. Ishant another one to counter their lefties from around the wicket. And for his performances in England last time around. Siraj as he's probably the most in-form indian fast bowler right now. Good fielder and catcher too... Bumrah...well because he's Bumrah. BacktoCricaddict and Majestic 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Since when Thakur is as good as Ashwin with the bat. Ashwin is must given number of left handers players NZ has in their lineup. I would go with both Ashwin and Jadeja. Thakur is not a bad backup for either Ashwin or Jadeja.. Lord 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Ashwin Jadeja Siraj (our trump card this tour) Ishant Bumrah If this attack plays.. I'd like to see Ishant & Siraj given new ball. Bumrah as first change bowler. Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 3 best seamers - Bumrah, Ishant and Siraj. Siraj edges Shami out due to his current form, Ishant over Shami due to his better record in England 2 best spinners - Ashwin and Jadeja IF its a green top, then Thakur for Jadeja. Link to comment

bowl_out Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Combo 1 easily.. Bumrah - obviously Jaddu is a sure starter.. Sanju Manju can F off Ashwin vs Thakur - tricky, but will go with Ashwin for his guile, experience and the fact that NZ has 3 leftie batsmen in the top 6 two of Shami, Siraj, Ishant - again tricky.. but go with the ones that look in the best rhythm.

putrevus Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Shami has bad record in England. If it was anywhere else, I would have selected Shami over Siraj. Siraj is made for England conditions. Link to comment

Majestic Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Not in WTC Final but at some point, they should give Vihari a go too. Maybe even as openera also. Link to comment

In 5 match series most would get a game or two. I'm more interested to see Sundar as opener.Would solve a big problem if it works.Leftie too Link to comment
