Lord Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Just now, Cricspin said: 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
CodeOfWisden Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 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. We can't really have a balanced lineup until our bowlers learn how to hold a bat. express bowling 1
CodeOfWisden Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Ashwin has made his case so strongl that it would be criminal to drop him even on a seamer freindly surface, and Jadeja's batting in this match can't be ignored. Only if Shardul scored 50+ we could have seen him in the first test.

CodeOfWisden Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 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.
Lone Wolf Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Really hoping they don't play Pujara.. However him opening won't be too bad as he won't have to face spin. He can neither rotate nor hit out against spin. . Rahul in middle order will give me some hope. Lord 1

( 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.

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. Edited July 22, 2021 by CodeOfWisden

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.
