Umesh Yadav doubtful for 2nd Test, Ashok Dinda called up as cover

[carnish]

but we shouldnt settle for Ishant either.lets play 10 men:giggle:

Actually I wouldnot mind Rahane getting a debut in place of Umesh

[Lord]

But its not about Ishant vs Bhajji. Its spin vs pace that I am talking about ... Is that so hard to understand????

as I said,u cant play spinners or pacers just for the sake of combination,we need to look at conditions n assess who can maximum impact.since our oppositions England,I say Bhajji,if it was Pak or SL,I'd say Ishant

[Lord]

If we dont why dont we play 4 seamers in Oz/Eng???

bcoz we dont hv 4 good seamers+having some variety.

Assumptions my Friend ... WE cant be at the Wankhede right now to see the pitch and conditions but we can assume from what the pitch was like the last time India played against West Indies there. It spun yet West Indies got 500+ in the first innings.

OK - Lets assume the wicket was like last time. In that case, 2 seamers + 2 spinners - the wicket lacked bounce.

OK - Lets assume the wicket was like last time. In that case' date=' 2 seamers + 2 spinners - the wicket lacked bounce.[/quote'] Dhoni's orders would hv some effect.last time was mahashatak pitch

So Ishant it will be ... we can go on arguing. I hope Ishant bowls crap so that Lordy can slam me tomorrow.

I hope the opposite,would love some pies

OK - Lets assume the wicket was like last time. In that case' date=' 2 seamers + 2 spinners - the wicket lacked bounce.[/quote'] Yep ... thats what I am saying ... Last time it was turning but there was no bounce and people hype that Mumbai always has bounce ... We saved a lost game or threw a win maybe.

[MCcricket]

If Ishant is fit he will be useful, he now bowls a good outswinger which he never did earlier, this could be a ideal game for him to make a comeback, anyone but Dinda.

This is what the pitch would look like in Wankhede.

[kubrickian]

^^Looks like a road.

[carnish]

SLICKR what are the sources of those images ... are they of the pitch to be used tomorrow ... it looks flat with a tinge of green in it ... not a turner by any means ... Confirm.

The grass will be shaved off by today evening - standard procedure.

yet this pic of the pitch indicates that it wont be a turner as has been speculated.
