Lone Wolf Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Dube is firing on all cylinders in Ranji... Even Shankar is doing decently. If BCCI has any brains they would pick either of those two as a Fast Bowling A/R for Perth Test. tweaker and Soldier 1 1 Link to comment

deepdynamo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We will need backup pacers in Aus for sure. Bumrah/Shami/Siraj are fine as first choice attack. But I refuse to believe that Mukesh is the 4th best fast bowler in India. Also, please NO Prasidh ( mental midget), Avesh ( harmless trundler) and Arshdeep ( white ball specialist). Akashdeep doesn't inspire any confidence as well ( based on whatever I have seen of him in IPL). Need one fast bowler ( or two) to break the door and throw Mukesh out of the system.

Umran - playing Ranji , has pace and maybe will do well akash deep saini - has been playing ind a games , has pace and I feel can still be an option deshpande - he is built like a tank . Feel he is Umesh yadav on steroids . Can be tried prasiddh - needs to play India a games some left armer with pace - got many left armers who are tall . One of them should be tried in India a games . Arshdeep is a no no as he is the ultimate midget . Link to comment

tweaker Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Most of the batsman are selected when they are fit ,Kuldeep Sen played one odi.and was unfit.If he is fit he should be selected as reserve for 3rd test. He has played some Ranji matches for Tamil Nadu express bowling 1 Link to comment

Akashdeep- look like another run of the mill Ranji level bowler to me. Saini- too old but can be consider as 5th fast bowler based on his experience. Deshpande- A strict No. He is as average as they come. Aussies love to feast on such kind of bowler. Prasidh- Blew away his chance in ideal bowling friendly of conditions in South Africa. Will do jack in batting conditions in Aus. Link to comment
nevada Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 One step at a time. Looking good for home series is a more apt tagline at this point. We finally seem to have found batsmen capable of scoring big and putting scoreboard pressure on the opposition. Decline of our mainstream batsmen had caused poor selections like Axar for batting depth. I think we should keep expectations low for the Australia tour and treat it as a learning experience.

Disagree here... Indian cricket has lost its prestige to Australia right now. While zero expectations for T20 WC if we win good.. either way ICC failures are now a norm. But only way to bring back lost Pride is smashing best team on the Planet on their home turf. They are not unbeatable as Windies proved and even Poyzz pushed them in 2 Tests & lost due to gifting them the initiative. They are in rebuilding phase themselves with many guys not in their peak now. Even Bharat Arun and Shastri planned for Aus series months in advance. With proper Planning it can be done Edited February 18 by Lone Wolf express bowling 1 Link to comment

wanted_desi Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Bumrah, Siraj, Shami and Kuldeep will be the key. 5th bowler: they will need medium pace allrounder. Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Whats up with selection of Ashwin over Kuldeep. He should be the No.1 spinner overseas. Link to comment
