cricspirit Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Rohit Gill Pujara << Sadly Kohli Rahane << Sadly but he may do well given his form in IPL and the fact that he is better in SENA than India. Though is overall record suks Kishan/ Bharat << I have no faith in either of these two but Kishan should play as he is younger and if he clicks, then we have a pant backup. Who knows he may do better in tests than LOI/T20 Jadeja Ashwin Axar Patel / Umesh Shami Siraj We should play all three spinners if possible.
Gollum Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 One thing is for sure, we won't miss the serial choker Bumrah. After the egg he laid in last WTC final, his numerous chokes in ICC events, big games, vs Pak, even Asia Cup final 2018 where Litton Das mericlessly violated him....just can't trust that guy when the heat is on. Siraj+Shami+whoever will be a big upgrade over the pace unit we fielded against the Kiwis 2 years ago. rollingstoned 1

express bowling Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 1. Gill 2. Rohit 3. Pujara 4. Kohli 5. Jaiswal ( he is in the reserves ) 6. Jadeja 7. Kishan 8. Shardul 9. Unadkat 10. Shami 11. Siraj * Niggle out Rahane and bring in Jaiswal from the reserves. Lone Wolf and tweaker 2

vvvslaxman Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 So it is official we use Duke not Kookaburra. Thakur should be in. He can swing it.

We have won a series playing in Eng with John Snow/Derek Underwood with Bedi/Venkat/Chandra in 1971. Shades of that.... bowling then was Abid Ali, Solkar, Bedi, Chandra, Venkat. Bear in mind that Axar was the best batsman recently vs Aus and played well in IPL too as batsman and bowler both. Jadeja is handy with the bat and Ashwin too. So Shami/Siraj/Umesh/Ashwin/Axar/Jadeja >>> Abid Ali/Solkar/Bedi/Chandra/Venkat Edited June 1, 2023 by AKane
Norman Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Do people actually want us to play all three spinners in early English Summer. Matlab wah ... Jaiswal Rohit Pujara Kohli Gill Jadeja Kishan Shardul Umesh Siraj Shami Gill in MO as will be a sitting duck against the new ball with his shoddy footwork and he can take advantage of the older ball with his aggressive stroke play. Kishan ahead of KSB because.. well why not? Anyone can be an upgrade over Bharath.
Gollum Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Imagine the scenes if Lord Undercutter owns them Aussies and helps us end the title drought. Trust him more than Bumrah, that's for sure. Throwaib_Chuckter 1
Norman Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 This game is hardly 5 days away and there is almost zero build up and hype among the casual fans or on social media thanks to the viewer fatigue caused by Eye Pee Yell. It's a freaking ICC final ffs. Can't believe that low quality kachra has ten folds more reach than a major international final.
Gollum Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Early June hai, 12-15 degrees C hai, phir bhi 3 spinners If not for Jaddu's batting I would say no spinner. Sgattick10 and Throwaib_Chuckter 1 1
cowboysfan Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 this Australian side is not unbeatable.we have had more injuries and a worse team and beat them in their own backyard.If we bowl well then we have a good chance to win.
vvvslaxman Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 We are only talking about Axar/Ashwin/Jadeja. Guy who won the man of the match in Bangladesh on a docile track is not even in consideration. Feel for Kuldeep. He would be an asset any day. Unfortunately our top order sucks with bat. They rely on these spinning all rounders to bail them out.
Norman Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Pathetic that BCCI with all it's power and money and everything has allowed ECB to run away with the hosting rights for three WTC finals in a row. This is one ICC trophy that we could have had a good chance of winning thanks to our home dominance and they royally mess it up by giving away the all important finals to a venue where our batters fare the worst. Speak about g#$du kismat! I'm pretty sure by the time an Asian venue gets picked for the final, we'd be either in a transition phase and not reaching the finals or will have a team that is not as good enough to take advantage of familiar conditions and lose to SENA sides under pressure. express bowling 1
cowboysfan Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I will be pissed if we play Undercutter over Ashwin.Aussies will destroy him and wont even bowl 10 overs. putrevus 1

It's a 1 hour early start as well lmao... Ball will swing like crazy for the entirety of 1st session. Shastri said he will go with Kishan if India plays 4 quicks + Jaddu. Bharat only if Ashwin plays. Kinda agree with him here.

It needs to be taken out of England to get its due, England have always undermined world tournaments by organizing them in early part of their summer in June rather than giving them prime summer time normally when they have their best weather. It is ridiculous that England gets to host the test championship three successive times.They need to get this out of England for it to flourish.
