3+2. Drop Ishant

Ishant can be dropped for shardul. even if they decide to go with 4 seamers, ashwin is a must and should replace jaddu

Jaddu is scoring and any runs are vital for us. Ashwin can come in for one of 3,4,5

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.

The way our bowlers bowled in the first innings of Day 1, they looked injured.

The team is screwed if Pujara scores 100, he will 100% keep his place.

 

I think the only change made will be Ash for Ishant.

 

Rahane wont be dropped.

 

There is the potential of Ash for Jaddu and Thakur for Ishant.

Drop Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Jadeja, Ishant and rest Bumrah and Shami. We are anyways losing the series 3-1 now. Better to pick youngsters.

 

Rohit (c)

Shaw

Mayank

Rahul

Vihari/ SKY

Pant

Ashwin

Shardul

Siraj

Prasidh

Umesh

Rohit

Shaw

Pujara

Kohli

Rahul

Pant

Shardul

Ashwin

Bumrah

Siraj

Shami

 

+1

 

FFS while I love it, it will never happen.

 

This cricket team is f**ked up. They wont make the changes to win the match.

 

For Indian Cricket you need to pray for injuries and pregnant partners like what happened in Australia.


THE ONLY REASON INDIA WON IN AUSTRALIA WAS FOR THE REASON ABOVE.

India definitely need a new bowler or two to come into this game, the Poms are comfortable against us now.

 

As for batting I dont mind Hitman and Shaw, but think that KL will still be kept as opener. Shaw at 3, seems to disrupt the Indian batting order the least.

 

This is my XI if I could pick it.


Hitman

Shaw

Mayank

Kohli (this arsehole has to be in it regardless)

KL

Pant

Ash

Thakur

Shami

Bumrah

Siraj

 

The top of the order is strengthened, the middle order is strengthened and we have two new bowlers in Ash and Thakur.

 

This is a team that can win the 4th Test. Thats being both an optimist and a realist.

No spinner should play. 4 seamers and extra batsman.

Then we need to go with different bowlers. Our bowlers will be tired. 

 

Bumrah

Siraj

Umesh

Shardul

 

If booms tired then go with prasidh. Prasidh has a nasty bouncer and can swing a bit.

Yes. Spinners are just passangers in England. Drop Ishant.

I am officially done. I will have a look at the team sheet before the game. If I don't like what I see, I am done with this team and I ain't watching anymore for real until clown goes away for good. 

 

I have already cancelled kayo. Cancelled Sony as well. No apps. Illegal stream I thought was enough to watch these dickwads play. Even illegal stream is a waste of time tbh. Waste of my data even though it's unlimited. Waste of my electricity. 

 

Either way, if I dont see the right team picked for test 4 then I am done for good. Permabanned.

My team

 

Rohit

Rahul

Pujara

Kohli

Mayank

Jadeja

Pant

Ashwin

Shami

Bumrah

Siraj

 

3 good pacers + Ashwin will do the job. Jadeja's bowling is a bonus. 

 

Mayank in place of Rahane. Promote Jadeja over Pant, as he can defend better.

 

Use Pant as an aggressive counter attacker lower down.

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

Why would you drop Pujara and not Rahane? Also what has Pant done so far? Replace all of them.
