3rd & 4th Test: ICF XI vs Selectors XI (Middle)

[jairamesh]

It is safe to say most us on ICF aren't arm chair fans. I was chatting with an uncle of mine after the end of this match and he was on about how selectors should drop Kohli and Ashwin and bring back likes of Dravid and Mishra. He added India should persevere with Bhajji, SRT, and Yuvi because they are proven players! And I thought to myself "are our selectors any different, are they just arm chair fans making important selections without thought of long term planning, strategy, match conditions, assessing opposition to minute detail etc.!??" So this poll is to select a starting XI for the 3rd Test calling upon ICFers' "expertise" :hehe: based on what they have seen and stats from recent Tests, Domestic, India A matches etc. At the end of the day the selectors have better access to players' fitness, domestic performance report, they are ex-players themselves. Let's see what selectors/Dhoni go for vs ICF selection. Links to other poll pages for ICF starting XI: OPENERS MIDDLE ORDER KEEPER TWEAKERS PACEMEN

My Pick : Rahane Rohit Pujara Kohli

[koolkarts]

Stick with the same. Change it next series if you want to, but not now. Problem is application, not talent.

[jairamesh]

this is going to be the spicy area, with potentially two places under the spotlight.

[Nova]

Tendu has been dropped by me. Blasphemy...

[jairamesh]

One thing is clear, there will be outrage here if Yuvi starts at Eden Gardens. :giggle: Let's see if selectors include him in the squad tomorrow. :nervous:

[jairamesh]

Why is Pujara not 100% :orderorder: who is the panuati!

Only 1 change - Tiwary for Yuvi.

[jairamesh]

Selectors have gone for Pujara, Sachin, Virat, Yuvi, Rahane ICF have gone for Pujara, Sachin, Virat, Tiwary, and Rahane Not sure what selectors saw of Yuvi in Mumbai. :hysterical:
