India vs England, 4th test, Oval, Sep 2 - 6, pre-match discussion thread.

[BacktoCricaddict]

Looking like the fat lady done singing in Headingley or whatever slush-hole in which they are playing the 3rd one :-(.  Time to move on.

• Ashwin shud definately play at oval
• Pujara shud be dropped
• Promote pant ahead of rahane at 5 

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Next Match line should be:

 

Rohit

KL

Vihari

Kohli

SKY

Pant

Jadeja

Ashwin

Thakur

Siraj

Yadav

 

Ishant is looking pedestrian, Shami & Bumrah would need a rest after 3 test matches, also England are getting in rhythm facing these bowlers. Next match is at Oval and last test is at Old Trafford.

[Lone Wolf]

I would entertain SKY or Mayank at 3. No Pujara.  No Vihari..  Poor county numbers & don't need another Pujara. 

Ashwin comes in for Ishant

[adi B]

Rohit

Raul

Mayank 

Kohli

Vihari

Pant

Ashwin

Shardul

Siraj

Bumrah

Shami/umesh

Shami at his age (40ish) might be tired ,will try out umesh in that case .

[coffee_rules]

Timing of the thread on D2 of 3rd test, lol

 

Ashwin in

Pujara is Public Enemy No. 1

[Vijy]

time to drop Rat but that's not gonna happen in a half dozen years.

Will never happen because we consider leaving someone out as an affront, not as a way to manage their workload for their own long term benefit.

 

In fact it might have been a good idea to sit Ishant and take Thakur for this match.

1. Rohit

2. Shaw

3. Rahul

4. Kohli  

5. Pant

6. Mayank

7. Ashwin

8. Shardul

9. Shami

10. Bumrah

11. Prasidh

 

....  Keeping Kohli just because he won't drop himself. Otherwise, he should be dropped too.

....  Rahul will be better utilized in the middle order

....  Pujara and Rahane must go.

....  Siraj is looking out of energy in this test. So, resting him for a test.

.... Want to introduce the steep bounce at pace of Prasidh in our attack. Bounce would come in very handy if ball is not moving.

.... Ashwin may be the better overall package than Jadeja at the Oval.

Ah! I thought the next test will be at Old Trafford. It's Oval.

 

No wonder Clown and his social media gang, masquerading as Indian cricket team, want to go back to London as soon as they can! Explains the 78 all out

[Real McCoy]

whats there to discuss another 3-1 coming up. if there is no repercussions after this match, I advise the viewers to stop watching cricket already. I knew it will happen under rat and hence canceled sonyliv before the series was about to begin. if hahane, tortoise and pissant are still playing, you know what time it is. after the series, kohli must drop himself from captaincy, which I dont think he will do. somebody in bcci should have the balls to drop him from captaincy. we will see how good he is when the captaincy is not protecting his place in the team. 78 ao is disgusting to watch. they were playing one grandpa bowler in anderson that was it. robinson overton are no big names. should have scored much more

[express bowling]

In the 6 innings that Jadeja has played in England so far, he has scored just one 50+.

 

So, including him over Ashwin (  for his better batting ) cannot continue.

 

Ashwin must come in for Jadeja.

But Jadeja is batting better than 3,4,5. Third highest run getter this series for us. Last two Tests he ran out of partners else score would have been more.

 

If anything he deserves a promotion

Good point about bowler rotation! It doesn't matter if we lose the 4th test. We need our best X1 for the 5th test as we just need to square the series to retain the trophy. The 4th test is the best time for making changes and trying out something new.

Oval is usually pacy and bouncy track. Less swing and seam.

And my team has Bumrah, Shami, Prasidh and Shardul for this purpose.

 

And the reason why I want Prasidh.

Prasidh is not in the main squad but is a standby player.I think he can come in only if enough main bowlers are injured.

Time to just trust ashwin's batting and replace him with Jadeja. Either 3+2 with Jadeja & Ashwin or 4+1 with Ashwin
