Sreesanth or Ishant ? for the First Test at Ahmedabad

[fineleg]

This is the only spot that is up for grabs - the rest of the 10 are cast in stone for Ahmedabad, barring any last minute injury scare 1.Sehwag 2.Gambhir 3.Dravid 4.Tendu 5.Laxy 6.Raina 7.MSD 8.Harbhajan Singh 9.Zaheer Khan 10.Pragyan Ojha 11. Sreesanth or Ishant? Who would you go with? Assuming both are fit.

I will go with Ishanth, has better match practice and looked better than Sreeshanth...Sreeshanth can only be effective when it swing and it wont in Ahmedabad...Ishant has bounce and can seam the ball and can surprise the batsman out of the blue...

[Hindustani]

Ishant (based on last match performance with both bat and ball)

[urbestfriend]

Among shants, "I" am better than "sree", I feel

[King Tendulkar]

Sree

[The Dark Horse]

Ishant

[ravishingravi]

Ofcourse Ishant.

[CSK Fan]

Ishant without a doubt, he has earned it

[gaurav92]

I will go with Sree ishant has been given lot of chances, he hasn't impressed much.Sree is a gem o a bowler in Tests and he needs some practice before he lands in the rainbow nation.This Series is tailor made to get his confidence back on track, so that he could be lethal in more conducive S.African conditions

[Sir john]

ishant deserve a place in team india.:yay:

[Sid]

Sreesanth,much better bowler than Ishant

Ishant hasn't impressed much? Have you been following Indian tests lately? You are clearly carrying a perception about his ODI and T20 performances and confusing with his test performances

[Sachinism]

If fit have to go with Ishant. Santh has done nothing worthy of being selected again

[zen]

:cheer: Play them both. It will be good to get them in to some kind of a rhythm before the SA tour

[cowboysfan]

both are not very consistent and streaky bowlers.when sree is on then he can run through an inning and be our best bowler.we wont be having this debate in sa though.

[diegovegaz]

sreesanth seemed to regain some rythm in the last game, so its important to play him, else he'll get lost in wilderness, once again

[Online]

Sreesanth for sure

[Hindustani]

both are useless, but I Sharma is probably less useless *sigh*

It’s a pretty hard choice to make. Both looked pretty equal in the Australia tests, but if I had to pick someone, it would be Ishant. He had a lackluster first innings in Mohali, but came back outstandingly in the 2nd innings. If anything, it was his spell on day 4 that put us in a match-winning position. Plus, he’s definitely more adept at reverse swing than Sreesanth is. To me, that tips the balance in favor of him, though Sree showed a lot of energy (and gnarling teeth..:--D) in the 2nd test and deserves to be commended. I cant wait for Zak, Ishant and Sree to go to England next summer. That should be a mouth-watering prospect. :yay:

Yep, i'd like to see each of the seamers being rested for one game.
