Zaheer, Harbhajan and Yuvraj dropped says Times Now

[jairamesh]

Potentially we could have: Viru Murali (CSK) Puji Tendu Kohli Dhoni (CSK) Jaddu (CSK) Ashwin (CSK) Ojha Dinda Ishant So four CSKs But still no player yet from the Ranji team who have been champions in the last two years running.

[asterix]

Who will be our pacers in 4th test?

Only Ishant Sharma.. And 3 spinnerz... Awana is just there to sit on the bench...

[namasteji1]

Ideal XI for next test should be Awana in place of Zaheer, Dinda/Chawla in place of Ishant, Rahane in place of Yuvraj.

Winning Ranji trophy isn't a criteria for selections. You've to be in captains IPL team to get selected...

[vivek_singh3187]

Our squad should be Sehwag Rahane Pujara Tendulkar Kohli Jaddu Dhoni Ashwin Dinda/Ishant Awana Ojha

They have to strengthen batting. So I hope we will see Rahane at No.6 and Jadeja in place of Zaheer. Awana, Ishant wont do much in flat pitches. Its like asking a spinner to take a fifer on a green top.

Where's Rohit and Rahane? :headshake:

[vivek_singh3187]

Bhuvneshwar Kumar & L Balaji included in T20's

[CSK Fan]

Well since Dhoni choses the final XI still dont have much hopes of much change

[Raghav_12]

Where's Rohit and Rahane? :headshake:

Rahane is there in the test squad. Rohit hasn't been selected. Ideally Rahane should take up Yuvraj's place in next test. How on earth Chawla got selected? He keeps coming back to team out of nowhere - without doing anything in domestic cricket.

[philcric]

Zaheer's drop is a bit of a surprise, unless he is rested, age his body 4 tests in a row and all. Gives an opportunity to have a look at a new pacer.

[vivek_singh3187]

How on earth Chawla got selected?

Yup, quite strange decision..atleast Mishra has got few wickets also.

[Sidhoni]

No Pankaj Singh?

[jairamesh]

Murli Vijay, First Class this season: ROI vs Rajasthan (minus Pankaj Singh) 266 (Irani) India A vs England, 7 & 32. TN vs Orissa, 15, (only 33 overs complete, match postponed due to rain) TN vs Maharashtra, 0 & 17 (it was low score game) Nothing in the above numbers suggest he deserves a call-up to international cricket. Even though t20 performances shouldn't count, but he looked hopeless in the recent CLt20 in SA. If Selectors are going by Murli's One day Challenger performances for India B then big mistake, as this was played in Rajkot the same ground where Jaddu scored triple hundreds for fun.

[philcric]

Jadeja is looked at as like to like replacement for Yuvi at #6. Left handed batsman, left arm spinner, captain's chum and possibly crap.

[Lord]

pathetic squad

[Spiderguy252]

Will they play Dinda or Awana?

[Number]

:haha::haha::giggle:

[kubrickian]

pathetic squad

Yes, Sachin should have been dropped.

[Pagalpanti]

Chawla's selection as baffling it is wont make a difference. The bowling will probably be Dinda-Awana-Ojha-Ashwin
