vvvslaxman Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Mark Butcher is already chest thumping like England is causing third innings collapses brilliantly lol They were gifts basically. India also gifted with stupid batting in the 2nd innings at the Edgbaston wazza 1

Yet our best off spinner wasn't picked. Labu and head have clear weakness vs ashwin. Also Smith showed some weakness vs ash. And then we will have some fangirl say moeen is better than ash cause he picks up some fluke wickets.

Post ban Smith vs Ashwin 5 dismissals at an average of 19. 3 times dismissed in Australia. wazza 1

DeepSpace Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Wood is bowling with some pace. How he was not picked from the 1st test is beyond me.

sage Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 They should stop bowling Moeen now. He's overused his luck. Wont get anymore wickets

Why do you think Australia will be quacking in their boots against Umesh/Thakur instead of Ashwin? That too at oval.

We could literally replace pujara with ashwin. Like being serious. Kishan should have been picked. Jaiswal should have been picked Sen or harsgit should have been played. Would have been deadly.
