Also head >>> rahane in England too. Especially current karate kid. Khawaja is overrated in swing and pace friendly conditions though. He was destroyed by bumrah and co in 2018. We need to unleash rana or prasidh if prasidh is fit. Link to comment

Karate kid is capable of playing an ATG blinder. Plus don't underestimate the value of Rahane the catcher. Link to comment

Goat captain mind you. Defecates on coolie as captain but yea as a batsman he is meh. Blinder? Well I have very little hope tbh. Very very weak batting with the old farts this time. If we removed coolie and had rahane as captain I would be more confident. Players just perform better under rahane for some reason even though he totally sucks as a batsman rofl.

LordPrabhzy Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Oval track, baking sunshine this week in London.. India needs to have atleast 2 spin options. Jaddu and Ashwin both can be fine and the lower order has some batting firepower if need be Link to comment
putrevus Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 If both Ashwin and Jadeja play then it has to be Umesh over Thakur. Link to comment

Thakur would be cannon fodder in non swinging conditions. Atleast Umesh is effective in SC like conditions with his pace. But knowing Fatty he will go with Thakur and not Umesh Link to comment

Compared to India weather in numbers obv not AS hot but 25 degrees, bright sunshine without a chill wind makes a lot of difference on how the pitch plays out Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Play 1 spinner... Ashwin was toothless against Australia in India. It's June early summer we are talking about. Add to that early start as well in the morning session. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 For two spinner merchants.... The 4th test Oval pitch in 2021 had Grass as well & we got shot out for 190 odd thanks to Shardul blinder... This one will move a lot as well in 1st inns.. Even if some of the grass is shaved. It's June Link to comment

Sunrays are much more direct on Delhi than London England due to latitude difference of 29 and 51. So how can 25 degrees in England be warmer than India. Also, England is an island, oceanic winds never let temp go too high. Neither it is 25 degrees right now. It is early summer and temperature will be hovering between 14-20 degrees from morning to afternoon during the match time. Link to comment
AKane Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Averages of Indian bowlers in tests Shami 27.48 Siraj 31.29 Umesh 30.54 Thakur 24.44 Unadkat 56.00 Compare with Ashwin 23.93 Jadeja 24.22 Axar 17.16 <------- BEST Link to comment

Lets fields Paanch Paandav in Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar, Chahal and Kuldeep on a green top. Link to comment

It may feel hot to you at 22 degrees because you have been acclimatized to lower temperatures. Does not mean it is hot for the soil as well. same for Indian and Aussie players. both come from real hot countries, not one who call 25 degrees hot. Link to comment
