So he was the batsman, same thing we said all along. :dontknow:


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

Its sunny in london for the rest of the week. Jadeja in second innings will get lots of help. Lords tend to turn as play goes on

He can get into team with his batting alone. 

Jadeja didn't replace any pacer. It's choice of playing 4 pacers v 3 pacers and 1 spinners. Most of the time teams chose later.

Sunny doesn't mean it will help spinners. Lords never spinners much.

 

bhai sunny me nahi karega toh kya cloudy mein karega?and there wasnt much help for spinners in Aus too where he picked Smith and Labu more than once

 

Sunny will mean less movement for sure.

 

Our last two games at Lords were greentops.But there can be spin there.Moeen Bhai picked 6 here

Lords pitch don't help spinners, sunny or not. It is going to have grass. We have some block against Moeen. Aussie pitches have bounce for spinners. English pitches are soft and slow.

Shankar isn't a part of the test squad! 

How is it so difficult to grasp? 

What do you expect pull him from India and play him at lords without quarantine period? 

It's a blasphemy to not pick such players for English conditions.

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