What will be your 4 man pace attack for Test 2, with Bumrah likely to rest


Recommended Posts

With Bumrah likely to rest, who would you play ?  

 

All our other 3 pacers have looked poor in Test 1. Looking tired too. 

 

Options available ... Prasidh, Harshit, Siraj, Arshdeep, Akashdeep, Nitish, Shardul 

 

My choice ....  Rest all the tired and non-performing pacers. This is not a knee jerk reaction but an attempt to keep the mediocre pacers fresh atleast by rotating them.

 

Play ....

 

Arshdeep .. swing bowler 

Harshit .. fast bounce bowler 

Akashdeep .. Workhorse

Nitish .. Allrounder 4th pacer 

 

Not saying they will do any better. But atleast keep the pacers fresh by rotating them.

 

Bumrah will be back in test 3 ....

 

Siraj or Prasidh may be back in Test 3 replacing the pacers who underperform. 

 

This maybe modified a bit based on Innings 2.

Siraj/Prasidh/Bumrah

 

There is week break between this test and 2nd test so Bumrah may miss 3rd and 5th, play 2nd and 4th.

 

 

 

thats a deep bowling attack

If Bumrah takes rest team management will have no option, but to persist with Siraj and Prasiddh. 

 

Most probably Gambhir will go for Reddy and Harshit

Arshdeep and Akashdeep and Nitish kumar, out does Prasidh Siraj & Thakur

Harshit, but it would be hard to leave out Siraj then as we will need some experience out in the middle.

Most of these English batters are compulsive hookers and pullers. So we need atleast one bounce bowler to utilize this. Need one of Harshit or Prasidh.

 

Despite bowling poorly, Prasidh picked up 3 wickets due to this tendency.

TM wants an allrounder at 8.

This is where we would have been much better off with Kamboj instead of Harshit in the squad. Bowls that consistent probing line and length. More suited to here than Harshit 

 

 

Arshdeep 

Siraj 

Akash

Harshit 

Jadeja 

 

Akash like Krishna will be too short, but will be much more consistent in line and harder to score off

Options available ... Prasidh, Harshit, Siraj, Arshdeep, Akashdeep, Nitish, Shardul  assuming Boom does not play..

 

Prasidh bowled very well, he is improving. he should be picked.

Siraj will get another chance to become the main Strike bowler. he should get another chance.

THakur and Jaddu were bad....i l go with Harshit RANA and Akashdeep.

and Nitish kumar reddy.

 

4 pacers-Prasidh,Siraj,Harshit, Akashdeep will be the work horse as he has good stamina.

i will play kuldeep ahead of one of the 4 Pacers if the Pitch / environment supports the spinner else no point. you cant play a spinner under pace friendly conditions.

just see how bashir khan and jaddu have been treated by all batsmen.

Which game did you watch?

I would love to play Bumrah in 2nd test as it will be after 8-9 days gap and then rest him in 3rd test.

 

So, my bowling attack will be:-

 

Bumrah

One of Siraj/ Prasidh

Arshdeep

Kuldeep( probably)

N K Reddy

Play Bumrah in T2 and rest him in Lord's. Keep Root quiet for as long as possible, once that madman gets into his groove, no stopping this English side from scoring 500 every time. 

 

We rested Bumrah in Ranchi last year and Root scored 300+ runs in final 2 tests.

I agree krishna needs to be persisted with if anything atleast he has shown ability to get top order wickets 

 

Consistency will come with confidence, also figures are hurt by bazball approach
