cricspirit Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I want Gill to play but not top3. Let him move down to no.5 and work up from there. he need some discipline as he looks to not care for his wicket at the top. Its better to move KLR up the order. Jaiswal Rohit KL Rahul Kohli Gill Iyer or Specialist Keeper Jadeja Ashwin Kuldeep Bumrah Shami / Siraj I do not think Axar is needed as much. Jadeja is enough for that role.. Axar will be third support to Ashwin and Jadeja. Kuldeep is better variety and attacking option. The above are 13 players.. Have Axar, Prasidh, Another top order batter as backup to complete the squad. Link to comment

SRT100 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Pretty sure the team is set now given that KL is not keeping and Shami wont bowl due to injury. This is the team that Hitman and Dravid will go with. Jaiswal Rohit Gill Kohli KL Bharat Axar Jaddu Ash Bumrah Siraj Link to comment

Please for God sake I do not want to pay money and watch constipated meek twerps like bharat Rahul play. I am really hoping jurel plays. But as you said, it's india. Corruption is rife. So bharat it is. I can guarantee you, bharat will fail badly. Jurel is 10 times better. Link to comment

We need to be wary. England take us very seriously Moreso than the ashes win in 2012, they always bring up series win in India. I think England are the only team capable of drawing vs india at the moment. Probably not winning in a 5 test series. But if india is at full strength with everyone fit? No chance England gets a sniff. 3 - 1 or 4-1. Right now it's very even. 3-2 I guess in India's favour. We are missing some key players. Even in England at full strength with correct selections we would beat England but given we self sabotage ourselves, probably 3-2 in England's favour or at best 2 -2. Link to comment
Prabhdeep Singh Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Probably England will go with following line up as Harry Brook out: Crawley Duckett Pope Root Bairstow Stokes (C) Foakes (WK) Ahmed Wood Leach Anderson Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 for me Shreyas has to play if we going to play on rough wickets,that means Gill is out because they are not going to drop KL.Gill is also poor against spin,doesnt use his feet well and is a front foot plodder like Kohli. SRT100 1 Link to comment

Its amazing when for a big match, India picks its friends first rather than the best players available. Iyer should be playing ahead of almost every batsman in the side. harpicP 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Im not sure about this Jurel guy - maybe those who watch domestic can comment on him but when was the last time KL performed on a spinning Asian pitch? I can't remember at all. He has done well as WK/bat in ODIs doesn't mean our useless board should select him for home Tests. Bharat inspires no confidence either. Leach and Rehan are bound to be a step up from their Lions spinners and the pitches more conducive to spin. If Jurel is known to be a spin basher, I think TM should take a punt on him.

Gollum Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Kohli ruled out of 1st 2 tests: Rohit Jaiswal Gill Iyer KL Jurel Jaddu Ashwin Axar/Kuldeep (prefer Kuly on flat pitch, otherwise Axar for his batting) Bumrah Siraj Link to comment
Gollum Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How come Gill makes the squad ahead of Washi? What wrong did Washi do after the 2021 series against Poms? What right has Gill done since the Gabba fluke? Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 With Kohli out, I would want Rohit Jaiswal Patidar Gill Iyer Keeper(whoever) Jadeja Axar Ash Bumrah Siraj This is a great opportunity to test Gill at 4 instead of 3. BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment

For me, however reluctantly, I would have to pick Bharat. He has kept to these spinners before and, as much as his batting is not up-to-par, I just feel like missed close catches and missed stumpings can be disastrous. Unless, of course, they see something very very special in the nets from Jurel and the spinners can trust him. Edited January 22 by BacktoCricaddict Link to comment
