Loli and his template. 

 

Advertising to the opposition you have a template also reveals your cards.

This idiot needs to keep quiet about his teams thoughts and plans.

 

In any case his template is floored. A team should be selected based on conditions and the opposition.

he has a template because his tiny brain is not capable of handling manifold permutations and combinations

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.

No rest to given at this juncture when we lost the match. They are expected to play full series

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.

Dude, you need to understand the situation he was in- with tail enders. Bat him up, he will deliver. It is not 50 alone, it 50,40,30. It's better than Kohli and Rahane and even Pujara

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 ©
Shaw
Mayank
Rahul
Vihari/ SKY

Ashwin
Shardul
Siraj
Prasidh
Umesh

Just the one change - Ashwin for Ishant.
 
 

Drop Rahane too and bring SKY. Why will you spare Rahane?

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 

Vihari is good but in bad form, SKY is new so can be tested. No Shaw please

Correct.

 

Zero chance.

 

Arrogance of Kohli is at another level.

[kubrickian]

Umesh for Ishant

Ashwin for Jadeja

Vihari/Agarwal for Rahane (this is not happening for sure)

[coffee_rules]

we need the 6th batsman in Eng. Pant is unreliable and Jadeja plus tail is inadequate in batting as well as Jadeja as a bowler.

Ashwin + 3 best pacers - Shami, Bumrah + Siraj. get vihari/mayank as MO. Dropping Pujara is ruled out now after 91, and we can't drop Rahane. Jadeja has a niggle too, so ideal candidate to be out. It is either Shardul or 6th bat. Oval is dry and bouncy. So Shardul is a waste over the cushion of a 6th batsman.

 

One revolutionay idea is

 

Rohit

Shaw/Mayank

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

KL (wk)

Vihari/Jadeja/Shardul

Ashwin

Shami

Bumrah

Siraj

 

Out goes Pant

KL isnt a Test level keeper,never even done it in FC.Too much of a risk. 

 

Why can't we drop Rahane and can drop Jadeja?

KL ek is just a revolutionary idea.

Rahane can’t be dropped because he is a VC and important as well

Willing to bet that there won't be any change in batting.

 

Pujara was best batsman last match. Kohli is captain. Rahane is VC, Rohit and Rahul have been good performers.

 

It's bowling which will see changes.

yeah and Ashwin/Thakur might come in at 7 which will infact weaken batting even more
