Spiderguy252 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Why has Sehwag been picked? And will Rahane warm the bench as usual?
urbestfriend Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Dhawan is crap selection, Jaffer should've been selected ahead of Dhawan.
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I wanted Jaffer too,but hes too old and I dont think he can play real quick bowling now.we need to look forward though Mukund could've been there ahead of Dhawan,but Dhawan had a good season.dont think he'll play in XI anyway
Needforspeed Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Who is going to bat at #6? Jaddu again?
SLICKR392 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Rubbish! Why only drop Gambhir when the Dhoni has done rat's ***** in the England series other than a 99 on a slow patta. Poor keeping + captaincy. Dinda? Seriously? :facepalm: Shami should have been there ahead of Bhuvi, but not a bad call to have him. I would have a Shreeshanth any day ahead of the Olympian Dinda. Jadeja is gonna get a game, there is no doubt in that. Will Dhoni go with 3 spinners + Jaddu is the the real question? Rahane isn't a Test opener. Chances are he might get a shot at the opening slot and I don't see Sehwag down the order. Wonder what on earth has Dhawan or Vijay done to get ahead of Jaffer?
kubrickian Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Dropping Gambhir is a good decision. This guy looked clueless against pace. There's no way he will do well against Aussie pace attack as they will test him with short deliveries and outside off stump line. Rahane and Sehwag should open. They should go with 4 spinners and Ishant. B Kumar and Dinda will be bread and butter for Aussies who play 140+ bowlers with ease in helpful conditions.
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Who is going to bat at #6? Jaddu again? Rahane I think or maybe Dhoni a 6,n Jaddu at 7 if they pick 3 spinners
Needforspeed Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Eventually its down to the playing XI. I hope we dont see Vijay, Bhajji or Dinda in that. Playing XI Viru Rahane Pujara Sachin Kohli Jadeja Dhoni Ashwin Bhuveneshwar Ojha Ishant

Utter brainless selection as far pace is concerned. No way Bhuv or a Dinda are gonna trouble Aussies on pitches that don't even suit them.
Cevno Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 So judging from that the first test team will be - Sehwag Vijay/Rahane Pujara SRT Kohli Jadeja/Rahane Dhoni Ashwin Ojha Dinda Ishant
rkt.india Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I can see only one pacer playing at Chepauk in first test.
SLICKR392 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 My XI Sehwag Rahane (not a Test opener but brainless as Dhoni is, he will get him to open) Pujara Sachin Kohli Jadeja Dhoni (c/wk) Ashwin Harbhajjan Ishant Ojha I hope either of the 2, Zaheer & Umesh, would be fit after the 2nd Test.
SLICKR392 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I can see only one pacer playing at Chepauk in first test. What's your opinion rkt? Not the probably XI. Bhuvi/Dinda should get a shot against Aussies?
Needforspeed Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I can see only one pacer playing at Chepauk in first test. In that case let it be an additional batsman. Hopefully not Bhajji.
rkt.india Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Sehwag Murli Pujara SRT Kohli Rahane dhoni ashwin Bhajji ojha ishant
PSB_Zone Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 what is sehwag doing with his old reflexes ...we need proper openers ,we should luk ahead for south africa... Get rahane and pujara to open and kholi at 3 is another option sehwag is big no at top..Idealy he should not hv been in the team itself
rkt.india Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 In that case let it be an additional batsman. Hopefully not Bhajji. Ashwin, bhjji, Ojha will be three spinners. Bhajji bowled well today

Get rahane and pujara to open and kholi at 3 is another option sehwag is big no at top..Idealy he should not hv been in the team itself Kohli isn't a good #3 and Rahane isn't an opener. It's best to have Che at #3 and find an other opener if not Sehwag.
