Lord Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Too much dead wood to clear. Only Pant,Jaiswal and Bumrah seem certainty.

Nikhil_cric Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not much hope in Tests. India should go the way of Cricket South Africa and play fewer Tests every year and hope for the best. Link to comment

bowl_out Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 At this stage, I don't even mind Gaikwad in Test cricket. Can't be worse than Kohli and Gill Link to comment

The most consistent test bat we have for 5+ years, who was top 3 run scorer in every series for 5+ years before this series, is not counted as a batsman? This is an even more awful take than GG or Rohit. Edited January 5 by New guy Lord, Mosher, Master_better and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment
Vijy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Jaiswal Sai [also keep an eye on mhatre] Musheer Pradosh Paul/Jurel Jurel/Sarfaraz/Rinku [we haven't even given Sarfaraz a go overseas, whereas we at least tried Iyer in the past] Pant (wk) NKR (?) Kuldeep Arshdeep/Harshit Bumrah Prasidh/Siraj No. 7 AR position is a big issue: playing 2 spinners is too many, so Sundar is not needed (moreover, Musheer is good 6th bowler). NKR is not convincing enough with ball and slightly inconsistent with the bat. Edited January 5 by Vijy Link to comment

Number Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Jaiswal KL Easwaran Gill Jurel Pant(vc) Reddy Sundar/Harshit/Axar Kuldeep/Akashdeep Siraj/Prasidh Bumrah(c) KL has earned my backing after this series. He did well till they tinkered with his rhythm at MCG and he got 3 unplayable balls in last 4 innings. Gill I am really disappointed with but I would still back him for a year in tests. Missed out on flat tracks this series and got starts more times than not. He is prolific in ODIs and needs to transfer that form at no. 4. RoKo need to go and Jurel has to be there now somehow.

Lord Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 2 minutes ago, Vijy said: There are some. Mine is 5+1+AR+4 above. not convinced they are good as bats anyway. Sarfaraz is a FTB who struggles vs both spin/seam as we saw in NZ series. Jurel and Pardosh can be good. Link to comment

I don't see many specialist bat options in FC anyway We could also look at few of our white ball players like samson or even rinku singh. at this point its about rebuilding whats the worst that could happens oops that was a bad attempt just like Sky was given a few test and we knew he wasnt meant for test cricket.

Vijy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, Lord said: not convinced they are good as bats anyway. Sarfaraz is a FTB who struggles vs both spin/seam as we saw in NZ series. Jurel and Pardosh can be good. we should play specialists as much as possible. no need for too many ARs who make 30s. Link to comment

What'd be your team for Eng tour onwards Mine Jaiswal Sai Vihari/Easwaran (temporary) Musheer Khan Sundar Pant (c)(wk) NKR Akash/Kuldeep Bumrah Harshit Prasidh/Siraj Axar has to be in the mix. Also no Vihari or Easwaran type batsmen please. Can give Easwaran 1 benefit game against some minnow side. Might as well get a dynamic u-19 or x favor player in the no.3 role. Musheer Khan: let’s see. Eye test pending. I don’t trust domestic and junior bashing. He was alright from what I saw- didn’t have that wow factor of Kishen, Pant, Shaw. Shubman, Jaiswal at junior level. Prasidh is good, don’t rate Harshit. If he couldn’t get it done here done think he will cut it in red ball in India. Mukesh temporary and maybe groom Mayank Yadav. We need a X factor bowler. We can use him carefully. Rest agree. Vijy 1 Link to comment

Axar can come in as 3rd spinner/no. 7 in India for sure. I forgot Jurel. So he comes in for Vihari/Easwaran. Basically we need a Pujara type tuk tuk bat who can play till the ball is old. Gill is such a misfit at 3. Harshit was removed after 1 bad game. Did well in Perth. Vijy 1 Link to comment
Sgattick10 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 First kick out the deadwood and give Kela the ultimatum that scoring a 50 in first innings and sleep through the rest of the series won't be tolerated. Make Bumrah Or Pant the captain. And build the team around them. Jaiswal Kela Sai Gill (give him few matches and see how he goes at 4) Some good mo batsman from domestics Pant Reddy/Washy Harshit/Kuldeep (depending on pitch) Bumrah Siraj Some good fast bowler Link to comment

Not everything is about him Lol you deliberatley named him seperately, come on dude its obvious. He should be the first name in batsmen and not seperate. Link to comment
