Whom will you choose inplace of pujara for next test or would you back him ?

Vihari is quite underrated. He has actually never played at home and never got the opportunities to bulk up his average. He always had to face tougher challenges away from home and under pressure because his position is not settled. He scored runs in West Indies where the conditions were helpful for fast bowlers. He also played some county cricket recently, so would have helped him get even better.

Both Pujara & Vihari played in county . In fact pujara played in more than 1 season. 

If we look at their record in county batting , perhaps we get an idea how well suited they are for english conditions .

Hence our expectations from them should be based on that.

a lot of our players in the wings would do better than current nos. 3-5. would be nice to see shaw come in, and perhaps bat at 5. he can counterattack from that position against tired bowlers, if the openers and chepu can grind enough.
