Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Nobody has questioned his selection yet here but Ishant averaged 76 with the ball last year. nobody?I did.he should hv been kicked out long ago
CG Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Stop making idotic statements.Dhoni problem is tactical thinking he is too defensive and plays tests as if they are odis.He is a weak keeper and average batsman away form home.We already have a young team .
PSB_Zone Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Agree on tht part tht he has become defensive but problem is no one in the team is ready for captaincy...but he is the best wicketkeeper batsman even in tests home or away... what idiotic abt removing sachin.he is failing consistently and getting bowled which shows his reflexes are gone..No matter how grt u are u cannot defy biology..Any legend with some dignity would hv retired after 8-0 debacle but this guy keeps playing..
Sidhoni Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I dont expect 400+ score from this lineup This line up also scored 400+ against England. Only one change -- Dhawan for Gambhir.
CG Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I dont expect 400+ score from this lineup 300 against aussie bowling line up would do us proud.
Cevno Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 This line up also scored 400+ against England. Only one change -- Dhawan for Gambhir. In how many innings out of 8?
kubrickian Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 B Kumar is a good selection. He has shown the ability to swing the ball even in Indian conditions and Aussie batsmen have been susceptible to swing of late. He also has good control, will get better with experience and will especially do well in overseas conditions where India will be playing a lot. I'm all for giving young, promising bowlers a chance but picking Dinda is just a brain dead move.
Sidhoni Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 We don't have many options. Maybe Jaffer/Jiwanjot could have been included but they won't be playing anyway. It will be Sehwag and Vijay. I am hoping Rahane plays at six and Jaddu(if at all he plays) at 8. Sehwag Vijay Pujara Sachin Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jaddu/Ashwin Bhuvan Ishant Ojha
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 This line up also scored 400+ against England. Only one change -- Dhawan for Gambhir. Aussie pace attack is better
CG Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 3 guys bowling reverse swing at 90mph.They are going to destroy us.
bharat297 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Strange squad selection here. Picking Jadeja over Rohit Sharma or Manoj Tiwary doesn't make much sense to me. In any case, this would be my side out of the players selected. 1. Sehwag 2. Vijay 3. Pujara 4. Tendulkar 5. Kohli 6. Dhoni © 7. Ashwin 8. Harbhajan 9. B.Kumar 10. Ishant 11. Ojha
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 If we are playing one seamer,I'd much rather have BK than Ishant,Aus struggle against swing and even if he bowls as badly as Ishant,atleast he can make it up in batting
CG Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 If we are playing one seamer' date='I'd much rather have BK than Ishant,Aus struggle against swing and even if he bowls as badly as Ishant,atleast he can make it up in batting[/quote'] Not at 125ks in summer heat in chennai.

Ojha Rohit failed in Irani Trophy,but yes looked elegant:nice: Jaddu is more in as a back up spinner than a batsman.,Rahane will bat at 6
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Not at 125ks in summer heat in chennai. can't be worse than Ishant:dontknow:
SLICKR392 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 3 guys bowling reverse swing at 90mph.They are going to destroy us. Starc's bowling is perfect in these conditions. Aggressive and very accurate.
CG Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 can't be worse than Ishant:dontknow: There is going to be little swing in chennai .There may be reverse swing and u need decent pace for that.Ishant will be picked as the lone seamer .
saneindian Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Siddle, Pattinson, Jhonson, Starc - All of them in good form A few more Indian test careers will end after this series. Thankfully no test cricket for the next 7-8 months after this one.
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 There is going to be little swing in chennai .There may be reverse swing and u need decent pace for that.Ishant will be picked as the lone seamer . Ishant doesnt care about conditions,performs the same:giggle:
