Four spinners on rank turners?

3 Spinners are more than enough, bring in Sundar & pack batting till 10 with just a single pacer like Shami at the end! But the issue is on dank tuners we've just won 1 game batting second from memory - against Eng at Ahmedabad 2021, that too the ball skidded on that's why 

 

India should go with good tracks with something in it for our pacers as well, remember Oz is slightly depleted with Starc & Hazlewood out, they don't have Green either so they'll most likely play only 2 frontline pacers+spinners & that's why a relatively balanced track will be great for us, again provided at least 2-3 of the top 6 perform with the bat. On balance wicket I expect us to win easily whether batting first or second, on dank turners it's really a lottery 

Why are we acting like starc or hazletrunlder is as good as our pacers rofl. They are not.

Rank turner + 5 spinners Jaddu Axar Ash Kuldeep Wash, would be fun to watch at least one match like this just for variety.

This is a terrible idea. We are not good players of spin and rank turners make ordinary spin bowlers look world class. Remember Michael Clarke, in 04 Aus came very close... and Steven O Keefe 12-fer.

 

Also it is embarrassing that we feel we need to resort to this. Home advantage is one thing. This is taking it too far.

This is all hype and noise meant to deceive Aussie selections so that they play that second spinner who can get destroyed on a non turner.  You just got baited by something not intended for you.

For sure. Maybe once we take a 2 0 lead. India tend to do that to demoralise teams.

Incredible to think that India would be a stronger side if they fielded 7 bowlers.

 

Siraj Shami, Ash Jaddu, Axar, Kuldeep, Sundar

 

If it meant leaving out KL and Kohli.

I won't mind any strategy if we mange to win 2 out of 4 tests...remember that's what we need for WTC final...just 2 win out of 4.

Throw a grenade on every pitch before each match and let it be a contest of who has the better spinners.

 

We can win two Test matches easily this way.
