My only wish I hope this turns out to be last test tour of Pujara, Rahane & Ishant. Especially Ishant, the epitome of mediocrity, on his 5th tour of England & still can't be relied upon to be the top performer.

 

 

 

I think we should move on from all of them after this set of away tours.Shami too.

 

lets build a young team in home games

Shami I think deserves another 2 years, looks in his prime as a bowler.

KLRahul overwhelming favorite for opener slot. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-ind-2021-concussion-rules-mayank-agarwal-out-of-first-england-test-1271802

The TM can't keep Siraj out for long.  It is a 5 match series.  By 2nd or 3rd test, one or two of our bowlers would hv got injured. And Siraj gets automatic entry.

I have tickets for India vs England @Lords on Sat, 14th August and Sun, 15th Aug. Unfortunately I can't go as will be quaranting after India visit.

Drop me a line cricket.ticket2021 @ gmail . com if anyone interested to buy.

[Gollum]

Both Jaddu and Siraj should start, IMO along with Pant the first names on the team sheet if we are serious about winning.

 

Not worth following if they bungle up team selection once again.  

[zen]

If Ind is going to lose anyways, play Jadeja & Ashwin (2 spinners) ... Let them toil on non-spin friendly conditions (Assuming that Eng prepares seamer friendly conditions)

It will be jaddu at 6

Ashwin 7

Thakur

Siraj 9

Booms

Shami

 

So 6 bowling options. 

[coffee_rules]

drop Ashwin for Jaddu, no need for two spinners outside India esp in Englad as seen on WTC Final. 4 seamers, jaddu, Pant and 5 batsman

1. Rohit

2. Pujara

3. Rahul

4. Kohli

5. Rahane

6. Pant

7. Ashwin / Jadeja

Exactly this team is playing with Jadeja chosen ahead of Ashwin.

if its a greentop/rain forecast,then play Thakur for Ashwin

With Pujara as opener we wouldn't have got 97 opening partnership. Rohit would have failed cause of strike rotation, then pujara and whole pressure would have been on rahul.
