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. 

 

In English conditions, Pant is like a low order hack. He has a horrible approach. He should come just before Siraj! :giggle:

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

well this was written before this innings, now on performance pujara deserves 

its that bad with these guys now ....they are just buying time on one one innings

last test rahane got more....so its like that now

Well it's either him or Saha, we don't have much of a choice.

Atm Root is too comfy facing this bunch of bowlers. Need a new challenge thrown at him, Ashwin is a must. He has the ability to target best opponent batsmen and get into their heads...Chanderpaul, Warner, Sanga, Amla, Williamson, Cook, Stokes, Karunaratne in the past...Smith in the recent BG series. Root may still not be troubled but high time we unleash Ashwin on him, last throw of the dice.

What's your team? 

 

For me;

 

Jadds has to be at 6. Pant at 7. Pant is getting on my nerves but atleast he has won matches on his own last year. So I will give him a break here. 

 

Ashwin at 8

Shardul at 9

Siraj bumrah

 

Perhaps go for sky at 5. Rahul at 3. 

Open with mayank or eeshwaran.

If pujara, rahane and kohli are a big worry , choosing among shaw , mayank, sky and vihari is another as none seem to give big confidence 

Better to pick them. Lose with youngsters than with these failures who are on their 4th and 3rd tours and keep getting out in the same way. The young team won't do worse than 78 all out and an innings defeat.

And Shaw was promptly dropped on one match.Why not give them some time too.Shaw can be useful in middle order

im not to confident about him in middle as his game against spin is not that great like sehwag was and he likes the ball coming on bat

Gill wud be really good in middle but with shaw im not confident

Its a shame that batsmen averaging 35 are making Indian team. The standards are really very poor. Even others who had average around 50 have started to average 35 in recent times. Bunch of non performing batsmen.

doesn't need to be Sehwag.That was extraordinary

 

We now have Kohli and Rahane both struggle against even Moeen.Shaw can't do much worse

reason i compared to sehwag coz his game is a lil similar to sehwag so pros n cons are also similar

I think Shaw is more orthodox with footwork.Sehwag had better eye.

Without trying new talent how will we find who has the temperament.
