So you're the selector

[Number]

To be the sole selector you'll have to be MS Dhoni or Srini.

[Magneto]

Hand me my 40 million.Then you can select whatever team you like.

40 lakhs hai, not millions.

[yoda]

Mukund, Rahane, Pujara, Kohli*, Rohit, KKD, Ashwin, Ojha, Sree, Pankaj, Awana

[maniac]

My X1 in this particular batting till completion of South African tour Sehwag Rahane Pujara Kohli Rohit SRT Ashwin Dhoni Sreeshanth Young untested Pace tailunt/Ojha(if we are playing in S.C) Yadav After SA tour Sehwag Rahane, Pujara Kohli Rohit Jaddu/I.Pathan Ashwin Dhoni Young untested Pace tailunt /Ojha Yadav Players who should be in the scheme of things throughout this time periodTiwary,Ishant,Gambhir,Varun Aaron

[Clarke]

yadav is not fit:winky:

Chawla/Jadeja then. No, feck them. In that case its Zaheer's final opportunity, can't have Mr. unlucky and a newbie seamer share the new ball.

[Pagalpanti]

We have to plan for SA as well, so Mukund/Gambhir Rahane Pujara Kohli* Rohit/Tiwary SRT Dhoni Ashwin Yadav Zak (Should ask him to concentrate on tests only till SA tour) Ojha/Awana/Dinda/Shami (Depending on Pitches)

[NareshK]

Gambhir Rahane Pujara Kohli Tiwary Dhoni Jadeja(or another specialist batsman) Ashwin (or another specialist spinner) Ojha Ishant Umesh

[Karan114]

Gambhir Rahane Pujara Rohit Sharma Kohli © Sehwag Dhoni Ashwin Ojha Yadav Ishant Gambhir and Ishant have been dreadful in recent years but the alternatives look even worse. Rohit Sharma also looks a hack at international level but again, alternatives are thin on the ground.

[Laaloo]

Gambhir © Rahane Pujara Sharma Sehwag Kohli Saha Ashwin Ojha Yadav Pankaj/ Shami

[The Outsider]

Would give a walk over.

[saneindian]

The key question is how many on ICF/media will continue to support a young team if say they lose the 1st 2 tests of the Aus series? Says Rahane, Rohit, Saha, Shami/Pankaj do come in but the results are not any different , will they have the same sort of support from the ICFers or will there be calls for their heads as well?

[The Outsider]

^ In general ICFer's have been pretty patient with the failures of Kohli and Ashwin - yeah there is the odd Rohit Ambani, but talking about the general sentiment on the board.

[Sooda]

Even if they lose to the Aussies we can console ourselves with the hope that younger players will be learning from their experiences and improving.

[Desi Cartman]

So, say BCCI tomorrow makes you the sole selector, what will be your team to play Australia right now ? Say, if the match is to be played tomorrow. (So, the injured players like PK are inelgible).

I will resign

that would only work if the seniors push off.

[King Khan]

Its very hard job, to bring out a performing squad actually. Moreover I got longer list of dislike players in current side than the prefered ones. Anyway- Rahane Uthappa/Murali Kohli Dhoni UV Bhaji Tiwari Pathan Ashwin Ojha Ishant

I hope this is a ODI line up to stand any kind of justification ...in test cricket especially on overseas pitches can you imagine this batting line up

[bharat297]

Time to build a new side with a new culture and attitude. 1. Rahane 2. Vijay 3. Pujara 4. R.Sharma 5. Kohli © 6. Tiwary 7. Saha 8. Ashwin / Ojha (Ojha is the better spinner but 2 left-armers could be too much and Ashwin adds depth to the batting) 9. Harmeet Singh 10. Ishant 11. Yadav (if fit) / Pankaj Singh

[virufan]

Sehwag Rahane Pujara Kohli Ashwin Jadeja Dhoni I Pathan I Sharma Ojha Yadav. Batting down till Number 8, 3 Fast Bowlers 3 Spinners. :two_thumbs_up:

Good that you have promoted Ashwin and Jadeja ahead of Dhoni. I would prefer B.Kumar ahead of I.Pathan.

[vayuu1]

Rahane Jiwanjot Pujara Virat Virupa Rohit Kaul Pathan Shami Ojha A proper spinner/sandeep sharma depending on conditions Yadav Pathan will play as allrounder and provides u variety ,Sandeep sharma coz he is pk part 2 with bit of more pace and yadav and shami coz they give u pace option And ojha as back up or a proper tweaker as back up bowlers 6batsmn1 fast bowling allrounder 2 fast bowlers 1 medium fast bowler and 1 spinner against Africa remove 1 medium fast bowler with 1 proper tweaker against australiA
