No it's definitely not there, you should change your Pants if it's a bother - go short, or shorts for more comfort 

Dhoti is the best option, but even there is Rahul Gandhi may insert politics

Looks like Pant and Rohit will be booted, but no one will touch Brat as expected.

The buzz seems to be that Pant will play. Gill will come in for Rohit and Prasidh for Akashdeep. 

The batting obviously improves as does the on field captaincy. Bowling might be a bit weaker unless Prasidh shows up in a hitherto unseen avatar.

prasidh bowled horribly in SA, but one hopes that he can do better this time.

I am scared. That guy at times can be totally toothless. This is SCG. Should India go with extra spinner?

India should go with 4 pacers ideally, SCG last year was spicy and seeing the kind of pitches we have had in this series I think 4 pacers will be apt.

Play Washi as lone spin option and 4 pacers in Bumrah, Siraj, Rana, Prasidh. Even if two out of the three fail, we would still have two pacers who deliver.

Henceforth, he shall be known as King Fisher.

 

 

How apt, considering the RCB connection.

Usually whatever SportTak reports, the opposite happens.  Same will happen this time too.       Anyway, it doesn't really matter if pant plays or not. We are not winning anything till Vadapav &/or chokli are in the team.  

I knew right from the beginning that all this talk of pant getting dropped was utter bullsh!t.     This thread has gone into 4 pages of worthless discussion on a topic which is factually incorrect.

Gill is the second highest runs scorer for India in 2024 after Jaiswal with an average of 43.3 last year. He has only played 3 innings in 2 tests in this series and has looked much better than Rohit and Kohli everytime he has batted. There is no case for dropping him before others. He has some technical issues to work on like most others but chopping and changing him is not needed.

Doesn't change the fact that Gill is, at best, a glorified tailender.  He was rightly dropped.   Should not hv returned.  

[Vijy]

match is all set for pant to make another cheap score, and for ICF to have more fun dissecting his case

I'm not against backing a youngster,if he's Gill so be it

But don't back him adamantly as your successor to the throne,he isnt

I feel Jurel should hv been given a chance in place of Gill (who is a proven TTF).

Don't worry, Jurel will get his chance soon enough. they will boot Pant as the scapegoat and Jurel will play in Eng series
