AKane Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, rkt.india said: you are right. better bring in Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav as well. Lets fields Paanch Paandav in Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar, Chahal and Kuldeep on a green top. Intriguing idea.... but I would stay conservative. Axar Jadeja Ashwin Shami Siraj Unadkat 3 spinners(with 2 of them good batsmen in Axar and Jadeja) 3 pacers Good mix of left arm/right arm bowlers and left/right handed batsmen in the above 6.

Stan AF Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I don't know i kind of have faith in this team. Let's see. I think we can win. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Man, Jadeja can enter into the 11 just for his batting alone. Other than the 100 he hit last year he has a 92, another 88(???) and that matchwinning 50 in lords. He has to play. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thambi Rishabh Pant illatathu periya varuttham. Huge blow. Link to comment

As a bowler Ashwin is better. Link to comment

You know what that means, right ? Poor Gill will get crucified. Top 5 will become Rohit, Kishan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane. Someone has to make way for keeper...and the junior most is an easy target.

Batting being already weak makes him the integral part of the xi,that's what he said Ashwin as a bowler is better,both of them can play as our batting seems weaker than last time we played in England Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Ashwin can't nail the rough.... Ashwin has always been outbowled by opposition spinner in England. Left arm spin over off spin any day of the week. Jaddu won us Test series vs Australia in India. He owns them. Sgattick10 1 Link to comment

We didn't (2-1) . I am fairly confident we will do well as KL is out and we have a clear cut decision by TM to go with afirm team X1. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment
