Who should be the tweakers for Australia tests

[MPS 3]

Pick two

[DomainK]

Kumble and Bhajji, the kangaroo slayers.:yay: Last series Kumble was great against them and their captain wets his pants at the sight of Bhajji.

[Kartikey]

Kumble and Bhajji with Piyush as back up.

[bharat297]

Kumble is our best leg spinner ... Bhajji is our best off spinner ... They bowl well in tandem and have heaps of experience and success against Australia. Simple

[Cricketics]

as a back up, Murali Karthik is the best i reckon and Amit Mishra after that. Piyush Chawla is useless as of now

[SachDan]

Kumble and Bhajji to spearhead the spin attack. Ojha as a back up.

[King Tendulkar]

Mishra should be included in this poll

[DadaRocks]

Mishra & Ojha.....if ponting is fit then bring in Bhaggi for Mishra

[DomainK]

Ponting must be hatching new plans with Symo and Hydo to stop Bhajji. Another controversy, another game.

[Dravid]

Mishra should be included in this poll

dude hasnt played a single int. match and yea lets throw him out there against the aussies... brilliant:haha:

[King Tendulkar]

dude hasnt played a single int. match and yea lets throw him out there against the aussies... brilliant:haha:

So basically no indian player is allowed to make his debut against the aussies! Intresting theory!:((

[cowboysfan]

i think it will be ojha who is the backup but Mishra should be considered as well.

[amits]

kumble & harbhajan with mishra & yusuf pathan as backups

[Shane]

Kumbles and Bhaj for now ... and keep Piyush in the reserves

[Shane]

Amit Mishra : Hoping for that one chance The Indian Express' Devendra Pandey catches up with Amit Mishra, the legspinner who is trying to gain an entry into India's Test side. More... Hope, skip and jump Devendra Pandey Posted online: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 at 0129 hrs Fringe players know it’s now or never as Australia A come knocking a month before Test series Bangalore, September 2: Amit Mishra’s fingers uncoil from his fist as he counts his India A stints. “There have been four in the last two years. Before that, I had been to West Indies once and Sri Lanka once,” the leg-spinner’s voice trails as he loses count of the number of times he has been on the threshold of the national team. These days, hope is once again visible in his eyes as he gets ready to face Australia A in a three-day match starting on Wednesday. That’s why he can afford to joke about his perennial presence outside the door of the Indian dressing room. “I’m a veteran in the India A side now,” says the 25-year-old with a grin. Mishra’s mood symbolizes the atmosphere at the India A practice session. This is the time of wishful thinking for the anxious fringe players of Indian cricket. “I have a gut feeling that if I perform against Australia A, I’ll have a chance to be in the Test team,” Mishra says. With just the Irani Trophy to bank on after the India A series, the second-stringers know its now or never if they want their names discussed when the selection committee meets to pick the Test squad for next month’s series against Australia. Mishra’s name has figured in several meetings in the past and once again the Haryana bowler is in contention for the third-spinner’s spot behind Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. He finished the last domestic season with 46 wickets — the second highest behind Sudeep Tyagi — but such domestic highs have not always translated in a call for national duty. One big difference this time, however, is that Mishra is fresh in public memory after his Indian Premier League success. When he signed for the Delhi Daredevils, he wasn’t seen as someone who would play a big role in the franchise’s success. But Mishra proved to be a dark horse and then carried his IPL form to India A’s tour of Australia for the Emerging Players’ Tournament, in which he was the highest wicket-taker. Ask him if he is scared to dream big after his short-lived stint with the Indian ODI team, and he says: “I remember that after my debut against South Africa, everybody was praising me. Even Sunil Gavaskar said that we’ve found Anil Kumble’s successor,” he says. But things didn’t go as planned or predicted. “I really don’t know how things changed so suddenly. Everything was going fine but there was a sudden twist in my career.” To make things worse, Mishra sustained an injury that shattered him. “I thought of quitting cricket. I’d had enough.” ‘A’ team players often have to deal with such uncertainty, and Mishra isn’t the only hopeful in the fray as a strong India A side take on Australia A at the Chinnaswamy stadium. The Indians look strong on paper, especially since they have international players such as S Badrinath, Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli and Mohammad Kaif in the line-up. The likely absence of Sreesanth, who might sit out with a stiff back could be crucial. “If you look at the list, India A side looks strong. Half of their side has international experience,” Simon Katich says. “But don’t count us out,” added the Australia A skipper.
