Vihari does not bring any value over Jadeja. He won't play.

 

We don't have too many spots for bats. KL Rahul will get first consideration 

 

KL I think has secured his spot at 5.

 

Vihari and Jadeja fight for no. 7

Jadeja's batting has really improved and we can't really drop Ashwin, but then we can't go with just 3 pacers too, too much confusion. :facepalm:

We can't really have a balanced lineup until our bowlers learn how to hold a bat. 

 

or if our batsmen can bowl,specially seam up

 

Amazing how our bowlers are castigated regularly for not able to bat,but not batsmen for not able to bowl even decent part time

Kolhi, Rahane, Shami, Ishant and Ashwin not playing the only practice match before the test series.. ( Ashwin I can forgive, he played a game for Surrey and did well).. what is the excuse for the rest of the seniors...? Cant imagine any other country's senior players doing this on an important tour

I think kohli and rahane are not fully fit.

Bro I don't think even any other team has a batsman who regularly bowls an take wickets, it's much easier for a bowler to learn to score a few runs in test cricket than for a batsman to bowl seam. 

Our tailenders are just pathetic, no batsman in nz, aus, Sa, pak, eng (who isn't an allrounder) bowls pace. 

In limited overs I totally agree with you, we need our batsman to bowl some overs but in test cricket we shouldn't expect the same, it won't help the team.

Siraj and Shami are certainties, Bumrah, Ishant and Umesh(after his 3fer) are in the competition for 3rd pacer's spot. 

 

I would prefer Bumrah. 

 

Siraj is not a certainty at all.

Eng have Root who can bowl spin.SA have Elgar.Labushagne and Travis Head can bowl too.None of them are AR.

 

For SENA teams, a part timer spinner is more useful than a seamer

 

Similarly we just need one Ganguly type seamer.
