coffee_rules Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Much as I like, I doubt Prasidh will be selected for this crucial match. This is typical like the WTC game, we have to select the best 11. Rohit KL Pujara Kohli Vihari Pant Jadeja Shardul Shami Bumrah Siraj/Prasidh raki05 and tweaker 2 Link to comment

raki05 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The way eng played against NZ looks like it will be difficult to get even a draw. However if somehow Kohli magically gain his form and some youngster like gill perform like he did in aus we might get a draw. Though knowing Macculuam he will never settled for a draw. Bumrah has to be at his best to get rid of root and Bairstow. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment

Reports said - in doubt If KL misses out, better to go with Iyer instead of Vihari as he is likely to fare better than Vihari and batting is kind of strengthened raki05 1 Link to comment

Majestic Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 In Birmingham, England have a better chance to win than India. I think it is a seamer friendly wicket. Link to comment

Why not Vihari at 3 and Iyer at 5? Pujara ko chance dekar koi fayda nahi..he will block 100 balls and score 20 runs and get out.

Lone Wolf Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Birmingham is a tough venue.. Hollies stand has a hostile crowd. Pitch could be seaming but weather I heard is dry this time. Prasidh hopefully outperforms Siraj in Warm up game. KL is a huge loss if he isn't fit. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment

AuxiliA Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Pujara must play. He has been doing well in County this year, while rest of the squad was hacking in the IPL. Edited June 15, 2022 by AuxiliA coffee_rules 1 Link to comment
