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.
Their is a gap for Pakistan series. Wonder whether that'll happen. Surely BCCI will come up with something else ?

Why the hell does Jadeja make it? Are we going to play him in SA as well?
Horses for courses. Would India play two spinners in SA ? Ashwin and Ojha dont look the deadliest of bowlers. So they need backup.

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
I hope Jadeja is just a back up spinner and not as an all-rounder, but in the last test he played he was picked in the No.7 spot as an allrounder. Rahane would be ok at 6. Rohit Sharma failed in Irani yes, but he's had a good season of domestic cricket and would be much better equipped technically than Jadeja to handle the moving ball from Starc, etc.

Given the current political climate, any series with Pak is now ruled out. Like we had the Kiwis come over for 2 tests in Aug-Sept last year, may see a series with maybe the Lankans if they are free or who knows a series with BD could be arranged.

Selectors seem to have a lot of faith in Dinda and Ishant. Shami would feel gutted. Anyway from the squad its best if Sehwag is pushed to middle order and Rahane and Dhawan open. But the most likely thing is Vijay and Sehwag will open, which means we'll be 10/2 in no time.

Rahane Vijay Pujara Srt kohli sehwag dhoni Bhajji ojha Kumar Ishant This should be the team
Among the chosen 15, I agree. Ideally, I would have liked Shami in the playing 11. He is the only fit and tried pacer with pace, control and movement. Bhuvi lacks pace and Ishant lacks control and brains.

Ishant doesnt care about conditions' date='performs the same:giggle:[/quote'] was our second best bowler in both Eden and Nagpur. if he can bowl as good as he did in ODI series against England in last 3-4 matches, he will be good.
Posted
Bhuvaneshwar in the side but not Shami Ahmed' date=' lol Shami does well in FC, does well in India A but because Bhuvi did slightly better in ODIs , he gets picked![/quote'] xactly!!:headshake:

I wonder what jaffer has to do to get picked? Should make new identity with younger age if being 34 is a crime.
30+ tests at his peak is good enough to conclude he is done. Piling on the runs in domestic cricket is fine but there's a reason why he couldn't succeed at int'l level. He'll be at best a short term option and given that age (turns 35 in a few days), it will going backwards. Also if Jaffer is to be considered, why not Majumdar, Kanitkar, Chopra or Dheeraj Jadhav too?
