Rahul Dravid Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Most likely Yuvraj will play tomorrow. Dhoni might take his chances and try to manage with them. yuvi will snap KP... the curse will continue.
zep1706 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I don't like the idea of having a 4 pace attack unless one of them is an all rounder. Regardless of the conditions a spinner adds variety to the attack.
pinkfreud Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I don't like the idea of having a 4 pace attack unless one of them is an all rounder. Regardless of the conditions a spinner adds variety to the attack. Not if that spinner is a lacklustre Harbhajan. TB is very seamer friendly as well, and considering Darty's 'contribution' so far, I don't think we'd be losing out greatly if we go ahead with the 4 pacer plan. Yuvraj and Raina can bowl a bit and the former is very likely to play in Gambhir's absence, so I don't see why we can't bring in Sreesanth... in an ideal world though, Pragyan Ojha would have been my pick for the lead spinner. Since Dhoni will never drop Harbhajan though, I think this discussion is an exercise in futility :(
Pagalpanti Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 This might never happen, over-rate issues. At least don't expect it in this series as it would lead to Dhoni's 1 match ban if that happens.

NareshK Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 That would be the final nail in the coffin. Who would've captained India had Dhoni got banned along with Gambhir injured ? Yuvraj ? Bhajji ? :nervous:
vamos_rafa Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Who would've captained India had Dhoni got banned along with Gambhir injured ? Yuvraj ? Bhajji ? :nervous: Tough call. Maybe Dravid. Watsay?
NareshK Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Tough call. Maybe Dravid. Watsay? He seems to be the go to guy if anything goes wrong. No opener - call Dravid. Stand in keeper - Dravid. Stand in captain - Dravid. What next ? Stand in water boy ? He is being taken for granted.
Crookbond Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Kumble was at times faster than Venkatest Prasad. :--D In that case, even the Perth Test match in 2008 was an all-out pace attack : Pathan, RP Singh, Kumble, Ishant Sharma.
Sooda Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 Regardless of what happens in this test, this match is going to be very useful indeed!
Pagalpanti Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Nah, If India lose this, saving this series is also not possible.. so there might not be any use of this warm up as well. I don't think India can come back and win 2 back to back Oval will most probably be a draw.

Sir john Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hope India don't lose 3rd or 4th Test i hope:pray::pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:
gaurav92 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 We will come back strongly with full strength......... We will have all our players back, and ready to roar like wounded tigers. In India we trust :isalute: I am getting a strong feeling that we will win the third Test :isalute: Come on boys buck up, I know its sad and humiliating, but we fans should support them in good as well as hard times. Show your support fellas :isalute:
Texy Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 This is only possible if Danda gets that feeling in his privates
Hell Raiser Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hopefully so. Or at least compete in the series for a change and not lose by such a big margins.
CrazyCric Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
