express bowling Posted July 10 Posted July 10 (edited) Test series coming up vs Sri Lanka We need specialist batters and bowlers who can win it for us. 1. Jaiswal 2. Rahul 3. Sudarshan 4. Gill 5. Pant 6. Jurel 7. Jadeja / Washington 8. Suthar 9. Gurnoor 10. Kuldeep 11. Bumrah .... 7 best batsmen .... batting till 8 .... 9 can hit too .... 2 best pacers .... 3 best spinners needed in SL .... 5 best bowlers for Asian conditions. 12. ?? 13. Shaikh Rasheed 14. Washington / Jadeja 15. Prasidh 16. Siraj ● Gurnoor must, must play ahead of Siraj as he can pick wickets on flat decks. ( While Siraj is good in tests only when he is leading the bowling in SENA ) ● Would have liked Sarfraz at 6 but he is not even in the A team. ● Sudarshan is the only one who have prepared for No.3, so no other choice for us. Plus he is in good form. ● Rahul backup keeper ... Sudarshan backup opener. ● Kuldeep will turn the ball away from LHB and act like an off spinner.

singhvivek141 Posted July 10 Posted July 10 I will choose 1. Jaiswal 2. D Malewar / Musheer 3. Sudharshan 4. Gill 5. Jurel 6. Pant 7. Jadeja / Suthar 8. Washington 9. Kuldeep / Siraj 10. Gurnoor 11. Bumrah Need a new RHB opener to partner Jaiswal....Malewar or Musheer both are young and playing in SL will given them an oppty Jadeja and Washy will give us SLA/OS option...Manav Suthar can replace Jadeja if team wants to take a gamble Gurnoor and Bumrah will be a lock in coz we need to give Gurnoor as many opportunities as we can. Kuldeep can swap with Siraj if the conditions are overcast as the series is in monsoon of Aug season. Don't want KL Rahul, his time is up. Jurel is an upgrade over him any time of the year and he can open as well. BENCH Musheer Suthar Siraj Ashok* (wildcard, but would like him to be part of the series vs SL) express bowling 1

I would like him in the test squad too, but they rarely choose anyone for tests or ODIs without A-team exposure. And it is probably right too. But, for that, A-teams must be chosen better instead of being platforms to placate big IPL franchises. singhvivek141 and Mosher 2

Is Mokhade supposed to be good against pace or movement ? Mosher 1

Is Mokhade supposed to be good against pace or movement ? Dont see him quite special, unless he has added any dimension to I am not aware of. Mokhade's best numbers are in List A, his FC numbers are okaish. But dont think List A is the right format to judge batters as even Ruturaj Gaekwad has phenomenol numbers...Musheer & Malewar have scored runs in FC as an opener/one down. That counts something. express bowling 1

Yash Thakur is another wild card which may come in. Ashok has played very less FC matches, coz he debuted last year only, so that may still go against him as selectors feel he is not used to bowling so many overs in a day. But his rise in last 1 year is phenomenal so that should keep him motivated. Plus, even Gill seem to like him and his new ball skills. express bowling 1
singhvivek141 Posted July 10 Posted July 10 2 hours ago, govinda said: Kl Jaiswal Sai Gill Pant Sarfraz Jadeja /Washington Suthar Kuldeep Gurnoor Bumrah Only caveat I see with both Suthar & Jadeja is they are similar bowlers. Although Axar & Jadeja also have played together but Axar is taller and gets bounce....Suthar is a traditional SLA. God I wish if Sindhu continues to bowl consistently, as his batting in FC is leagues above Suthar & Washy, its just that his bowling is more on the defensive side as he bowls with a flatter trajectory which is more suited for short format.
Manucrick Posted July 10 Posted July 10 My 11 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal 2 Prithvi Shaw 3 Sai Sudharsan 4 Shubman Gill 5 Shaik Rasheed 6 Rishabh Pant 7 Ravindra Jadeja 8 Manav Suthar 9 Jain 10 Jasprit Bumrah 11 Gurnoor Brar Backups 1 Dhruv Jurel 2 Mohammed Siraj 3 Harsh Dubey 4 Devdutt Padikkal Why I pick Shaw is because he will destroy spinners we are missing a spin basher like Sehwag Shaw can replicate that against spinners KL Rahul will not score any runs
tweaker Posted July 10 Posted July 10 There will not be major changes in the team. Jaiswal Rahul Sudarshan Gill Pant Jurel Jadeja Sundar Axar Bumrah Siraj Prasidh Gurnoor Suthar Paddikal. Sarfaraz should be part of the squad and should bat at 5 or 6
BacktoCricaddict Posted July 10 Posted July 10 For SL test series. Given that their bowling looks a bit weak (WI bats dominated them recently), I would use this is an opportunity to try out some new batters: Jaiswal Malewar Sudarshan Gill Pant Sarfaraz Sundar Suthar Dubey Brar Bumrah Reserves Padikkal (open/TO) Rathod (MO) Ashok Sharma (pace) Jain (spin) (1) I am tired of stat-padding Rahul (2) Great opportunity to bring back Sarfaraz who deserves his place as much as anyone (3) Suthar and Dubey can both provide some rearguard batting (4) Bumrah will hopefully destroy them (5) Sudarshan keeps scoring in A-matches and can't be ignored tweaker 1
Nikhil_cric Posted July 10 Posted July 10 For me, all the preparation should be geared towards the ODI World Cup . So for the next 18 months , I want full strength squads for all ODI's, a couple more ODI series to test out players/combinations . Even if all this comes at the cost of T20I matches and T20I/Test match squads. Lone Wolf 1

I don't remember any sustained domestic/IPL achievements from him - except for the odd flash-in-the-pan innings and a high dose of overconfidence bordering on arrogance. Why am I wrong?

Tentative first choice XI for now Gill Jaiswal Kohli Iyer KL Parag Pandya Rana Kuldeep Bumrah Gurnoor But additionally, these players should be rotated and tried out Reddy Axar Prasidh Arshdeep Sai(backup for top order) Punja Anukul Shedge Pant These 20 players, off the top of my head, should be priority and should be prepped for the World Cup 1 batsman , 1 spin allrounder, 1 pacer, 1 seam allrounder and 1 specialist spinner each will be cut for the World Cup XV depending on performances Edited July 10 by Nikhil_cric express bowling 1
