Discussing the second test between Ind-BD at Dhakka, 2010

[Gunner_Mania]

go with GG Sehwag Dravid Sachin Vijay Karthik Mishra Bahjji Ohja Tyagi Sree

No Dhoni?

[Dravid]

rest his back some more rest for zak and ishant rest and no paratha for uv:headshake:

[ensd2]

why anyone mention Virat Kholi ; we should give him a chance

[sangrock]

My recommendation for the lineup: - persist with Mishra, who manages to pick up wkts (which is what counts) - keep Sree as well - VVS is injured but replace him with Bhajji - Dhoni replaces Karthik I think Ind can squeeze in a win by scoring around 700 runs in the test and with 5 bowlers hopefully we can bowl BD for 500 runs (avg 250 per inning)

I agree. We should persist with both - Mishra and Sree. Mishra was gone after but he got wickets (7 total). Bangbros like to go after spinners - which is ok as long as they attack. Sree had a forgettable match - he should be backed and played in the next match so that his confidence is not dented. Leave Tyagi and Ojha on the sidelines. Zak and Ishant have to play to grow in confidence as pair of opening bowlers. Tyagi could have been given a chance has Sree played well in this match.

Who is going to replace Laxman? Murali Vijay or KKD karthik ?

[vvvslaxman]

Ofcourse Murali Vijay

[ViruRulez]

Vijay without second thoughts.. he has performed well every time he has been given opportunity.. he at least has got a price tag on his wicket.. if he performs well for a few more test matches when given chances then I would support replacing even UV with Vijay in the future

[Rajan]

1.Murali Vijay in place of Laxman. he deserves this because of his effort against aussies and SL . 2.Dhoni replacing Karthik. 3.Tyagi replacing Sree santh. Sree santh may break down midway and we would be short of bowling resources.If we dont give a break to Tyagi against BD , when will we give an opportunity? 4.Harbhajan can wait. BD have many quality Left arm spinners in their ranks,they would have brought up facing their spinners a lot.so, Ohja may not make much of an impact. Mishra has done well in this test.We have Yuvraj as an option for a few overs of left arm and Sehwag can be relied on to bowl off spinners for a few overs if required. I am sure Dhoni would not drop Yuvi, though Yuvi looks woefully out of shape/form.

Laxman ruled out of 2nd Test; Sreesanth under observation Middle-order batsman VVS Laxman has been ruled out of the second Test beginning on January 24 with a finger injury. More... Laxman ruled out of 2nd Test Chittagong, Jan 21, DHNS: Middle-order batsman VVS Laxman has been ruled out of the second Test beginning on January 24 with a finger injury. “Laxman will not play in the second Test and he will return home tomorrow,” team India manager Arshad Ayub said. The Hyderabadi stylist injured a finger on his left hand while attempting to hold on to a catch offered by Shahriar Nafees on Wednesday evening. Laxman had left the field immediately. Ayub added that there would not be any replacement for Laxman, who needed ten stitches on his finger. He said pacer S Sreesanth, who left the field due to a hamstring injury, was under observation. “Sreesanth has suffered a minor hamstring strain. But it is too early to fix the damage,” Ayub said.

If its NEVER fixed also fine....

Its amazing to see how opinions about Sreesanth have changed after a couple of bad games. When he made the comeback everyone was like :yay: and the moment something goes wrong, everyone goes :bhejafry:. Sheesh.

[PotterManiac]

Yeah..thats way it goes isnt it? :D That will mean Bhajji in for Sree and Dhoni in for Laxman?

[Guest Shivani]

Sudeep for sree ?

[achilles]

Sudeep is a moped. We don't need another moped

[Guest Shivani]

Sudeep is a moped. We don't need another moped

Haaaaaaaaw that was rude.

[achilles]

My bad. But we don't need another 135ks, no variation, little swing, nothing bowler :((

Injured Sreesanth doubtful for second Test Indian pacer S Sreesanth is a doubtful starter for the second and final Test against Bangladesh after picking up a hamstring strain during the first Test in Chittagong. More...

If he is a moped...then others are...? cycles??

[cowboysfan]

i knew sreeshanth would break down,its high time BCCI stops selecting him for meaningless odi tournaments.I would also be in favor of separate test and limited overs bowling attack.This might actually improve our odi bowling.
