Indian 2nd string test side which would be one of the strongest test side

[Cricketics]

If we put down a second string Indian test x1, i believe, our line up will still would be one of the best batting lines up the world rite now. Check this team out, All those who are not picked as first choice players in test x1 Murali Vijay - Sureshot opener slot taken by him Ahinav Mukund- No doubts I reckon Ajinkya Rahane Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma Subramaniam Badrinath Uday Kaul(WK) Irfan Pathan R.P Singh Murali Karthik Munaf Patel Reserves Bats Wasim Jaffer Manoj Tiwary Manish Pandey Bowlers Sumit Narwal Sudip Tyagi Ajit Agarkar Iqbal Abdulla What you reckon about this. I believe these names are some of the most important names of Indian cricket. Very strong side above.

I am all for positivity and patriotism but this is stretching things too far. This team will get walloped by most other sides.

:withstupid: International teams will massacre that squad.

Really. I mean this bowling attack of Indian side mentioned above is as good as the one which plays perhaps for our national side, so when our bowlers take the beating, it will be similar:cantstop: Batting is pretty strong. I mean definately better than current sri lankan, pakistan, west indian, and also Australian and NZ line up. up in top 3 i believe.

Oh My God you forgot Ashwin. That batting is really good..but not experience.

[yoda]

Not a bad side, but they may be good enough only to beat the BangBros. Bowling is quite weak, batting is not bad.

[The Outsider]

Raina can come in for now, since he does not feature in the playing XI for India. Ashwin as spinner. I think at home the above team should be able to beat/compete with BD, NZ, WI, Pakistan, and perhaps Australia. They'll probably get beaten comprehensively away from the subcontinent, till they can get some experience.

We saw in Zimbabwe :cantstop:

[Sir john]

naman ojha should be in place of uday kaul. :hitler:

[rkt.india]

they wont be able to take take 20 wickets anywhere in the world....you sure Munaf can survive 5 days of test cricket and 25 overs in a day in Indian conditions...

[hari504504]

:haha: Innings defeats all the way.. sure they could make the opposition look like 'the strongest test side'..

[achilles]

Talk about rubbing it in, Ticzy :winky:

[jeetu]

This side is not 10% of First string side.

Assuming RP and Irfan are actually in good bowling form, that is a pretty decent attack. Perhaps Mishra could play and Ojha is not first choice spinner so technically he could make this team. Not sure though if it is as strong as we'd like to think! Would struggle against a good attack. And the bowling blows hot and cold A REAL 2nd choice XI (as per the selectorss) would be... Vijay, Mukund, Rahane, Rohit, Virat, Raina, W Saha, Yadav, Unadkat, Ojha, Mishra/Munaf In an ideal world with everyone fit and in form it should be Vijay, Mukund, Rahane, Badri, Virat, D Kartik, Irfan, Mishra, M Kartik, Munaf, R P Singh vs Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Pujara, MSD, Bhajj, Zak, Sree, Ishant

[King Tendulkar]

Yep our second string side would beat most sides

[Chandan]

I don't think our 2nd string test side will be as strong as some forummers think it to be. Really weak openers: Vijay Rahane Nothing eatraordinary in the MO: Kohli Badrinath Sharma Raina Ordinary keeper: Partiv/Karthik Bowlers Irfan Munaf RP Singh Mishra? Ojha? Ashwin? A terrible team it is!

[NareshK]

This side is good considering this is a selection of players apart from the squad that plays for India and most teams struggle to even field a good first choice squad. Of course, they will struggle to beat Australia or South Africa but it still shows there is some very good talent available on the bench apart from the first choice 15.

[ganeshran]

Why isnt Pujara in the squad :hmmmm2:

[Raghav_12]

Why isnt Pujara in the squad :hmmmm2:

Pujara is currently part of first choice 11..

NO team in the world has second team as good as first. IF they were as good as first why would be they were second. They would have been first in itself. This second team is a young and inexperienced team. This be good with experience and exposure. You will have a few players will make the step ahead to the first team from this, not all. Batting is still good but bowlers likes of Munaf and Irfan are no where near international test strike bowlers. RP can do but not Munna and Irfan..Instead youngsters likes of Mithun can serve better than tested failures.
