vvvslaxman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Home series performanec by Indians in the last 3 years Trimurthis has become Bimurthis now. This Gujara got the fake man of the series award in Bangladesh after scoring a 100 on a road. His usual method is boring the opposition for 5 or 6 hours and then scoring. But oflate after boring them he gets out. SRT100 and raki05 2 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Karthik said, “In Shreyas Iyer’s place, Suryakumar Yadav should get a chance instead of Shubman Gill. I feel SKY is a better player of spin bowling, and we will play on turning tracks. Give him a chance, as he has been in red-hot form." its almost confirmed SKY will play now. Link to comment

SRT100 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Gill has the better temperament to play Test Cricket compared to SKY, not to mention he has already proven himself at Test level. I would have SKY ahead of Kohli, KL and Pujara, but this is never ever going to happen. Link to comment

I mean thats a significant sample size too. Link to comment

We could see that in the 2nd test in BD Kohli got out 9 out of 11 times to spinners. We could see the same in 2nd test in Bangladesh. Saw even in ODi against santner. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Kohli alarmingly got bowled 4 times leg before 4 times. This is going to be a train wreck of a series. Link to comment

This is going to be a train wreck of a series. Kohli is finished, its just a matter of when its going to happen. If he fails in this series its the end of him. Incredible to think a top order batsman can go for years without scoring a century. A century is not just the only parameter, but it is a key factor. Winning test matches is about playing long innings both with time and runs. In Kohl's case he has scored just 2 50s to go with 3 ducks during that time. vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment
Prabhdeep Singh Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Go for gamble and pick best 6 batsman, give KL gloves. Australian bowling line up would be in big trouble facing following line up. Rohit (C) Gill Pujara Kohli KL (WK) SKY R Jadeja R Ashwin Axar Shami Siraj Link to comment

Rohit (C) Gill Pujara Kohli KL (WK) SKY R Jadeja R Ashwin Axar Shami Siraj If KL was even just barely competent as wicketkeeper, it really does strengthen India with this line up. Kohli, KL are both automatic Uncle Locks so we have no choice here, but having KL keep wickets allows us to play both Gill and SKY. I dont know what the stats are both IIRC a lot of wickets in these low slow turning pitches are LBW and bowled. Link to comment

No way he's missing out In their infinite wisdom , selectors have named him the squad’s vC. So, he will open and let Gill play MO or vice-versa. Vihari will warm the bench I would go with Axar in this squad Pant is sorely missed. Fear India losing a test or two or even the series after 10 years at home SRT100 1 Link to comment

zen Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I hope there is enough grass on the pitch to help pace bowlers too with the pitch going through normal wear and tear … Do not prefer ordinary spinners appearing like Warne due to doctored pitches! Number 1 Link to comment
