1983-2011

Drop Sachin, Yuvraj, Bhajji and get Rahane, Umesh(if he is fit). Only prefer players who are not keen on a T20 career and concentrate on longer version/test cricket like Pujara. Too much T20/IPL affects players' technique, temperament and makes them less quality players.

He's the only leg spinner we can groom for future. Others are even garbage.
If spinners these days from India are turning about to be garbage, I fear for the future of Indian Cricket going forward. No good fast bowlers and soon no good spinners also???

My XI: Sehwag, Gambhir, Puji, Tendu, Kohli, Tiwary, MSD, Ashwin, Ojha, Zaheer, Yadav. I would still continue with the plan for turners from day 1 philosophy. KP played a blinder, I doubt he will repeat this again in the series. For next series, 1st game vs Aus, I would like to see: Chand, Rahane, Puji, Tendu, Kohli ©, Tiwary, Saha, Ashwin, Ojha, Shami, Yadav. Abit radical but I see no other option, especially with regard to captaincy. Chand's pick is abit premature but based on instinct. It's a very inexperience team but selectors will need to be bold. And if plan fails miserably in the first two games then they still call back Gambhir, Zaheer, and Sehwag.

This side will be hammered like a Bangladesh B team. Chand hasnt even proved himself in Ranji. He just did well in Under 19 WC. He still needs to do a lot before he gets called into India ODI side, forget test side.

We need to fast track someone. It's only Chand who is unproven, whilst the rest have all been playing Ranji and been on recent India A tours.

I think it will be the same squad - the only change can be Umesh, he's certain to recover fully before the 3rd Test then he will be picked otherwise I think they will bring in another fast bowler.

I think Amit Mishra can be given another chance. He is better than Ashwin atm. Whenever he bowled in Eng vs Haryana game, he took wickets. Drop Harbhajan. Drop yuvraj and get Manoj tiwary in.

Drop everyone except Pujara ' date=' Ojha and Ashwin, right? Cmon folks, be realistic. Only one or two players will be dropped![/quote'] Realistically we won't be selecting any squad for team India. It will be done by selectors.

I am more interested to know what will be the pitches for the final 2 tests.I reckon we will lose this series 2 -1.Our spinners have looked quite ordinary since that 1st innings at Motera
