Ind did not play 4 pacers earlier (went with 3+2 v 4+1) As for Jadeja, he is considered because he can bowl too, where his bowling in relatively unhelpful conditions can be a wash. Ind could look for more consistent option there as well if conditions remain seamer friendly Link to comment

It's choice of playing 4 pacers v 3 pacers and 1 spinners. Most of the time teams chose later. Link to comment

It is going to have grass. We have some block against Moeen. Aussie pitches have bounce for spinners. English pitches are soft and slow. Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Only Jaddu for T2, because he is the 3rd/4th best batsman in this squad. Maybe for Oval test we can look at 2 spinners, won't be needed otherwise. But hope we keep rotating the quicks throughout the series. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If Shardul is injured.. Ash comes in. Jaddu doesn't look threatening at all as a spinner in England. However his batting is big bonus & is better than our front line bats too. He should play every game Link to comment
Jay Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just play shankar at 6 6) shankar 7) jaddu 8 shardul 9) siraj 10) bumrah 11) umesh Link to comment

The irony being, is that if he plays, I am confident he will score more runs that one of our top 6 batsmen. Trichromatic 1 Link to comment
