Lord Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I don't see Dhoni going with 2 spinners in SA. Ashwin's gonna make it' date=' Nayar or Pathan should fill the AR slot.[/quote'] ofcourse Ashwin will be the lone spinner.I am saying Jadeja deserves his place atm in these conditions as hes doing well I'd pick 6 batsmen+Dhoni there.

Straight Drive Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Excellent performance by Jadeja. He put some match winning contributions in ODI series versus England and now he has put match winning contribution in test match. Link to comment

Some might disagree but he is a must in these conditions. Very, very rarely he gives away loose ones, pretty hard to score against him and the one that turns can get us a wicket 9 out of 10 times.

rkt.india Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Best bowler of the match, 6/66. Link to comment
adi B Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 the only thing which is baffling why is ojha not replacing bhajji despite him being sh1t in the 1st test and ojha being the best bowler against an excellent england side. if ojha doesnt play in mohali too because of dhoni`s preference ,it would be a sad day for test cricket :(( Link to comment

At least Ojha will turn it away from the right-handers and right now there's only 1 batsman in their team we need to worry about and he's right-handed. Link to comment

Senior member of AVKC![/quote'] what was I arguing against?Doherty v Lyon?lol Lyon had already been tried and sucked.Ojha hasnt anyway that argument is for poor players who look to just survive.for aggresive player same is advantage as the ball is in thier arc Link to comment

Both can be very effective. If you've got a right-hand batsman, and a left-armer going around the wicket the ball moving it away (bringing the slips into play), the odd one that goes on (i.e. the arm ball) will definitely get a wicket if the batsman doesn't pick it. The angle of a left-armer to a right-hander can be quite effective. It's one of the things Jadeja does well. But regardless we will either have: * 2 right-arm offspinners and 1 left-arm orthodox OR * 1 right-arm offspinner and 2 left-arm orthodox. So either way we will have our bases covered.

Ojha should be in for Bhajji just for quality anyway Link to comment
I6MTW Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Jadeja's Ability to get class batsmen out He has gotten KP out twice, was the only one to trouble trott throughout his innings and got him out and now dismissed michael clark(the world's second batsmen thrice.) He gets top class batsmen out with ease. Link to comment
tweaker Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Does not have variety.Ithink it will be difficult for him to be in the team as a bowler only.If there is Ojha in the squad ,we will pick him.But if there is leg spinner ie Amit Mishra ,Ladda in the team,he will be ignored. Link to comment
carnish Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Alas, OP has been heard ... Jadeja will be away from the test team for 2 days. He has gone home to spend some time with his horses in between the two test matches. Link to comment
harmuk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 When we have She-wag and Darty in the Test team for no reason, Jadeja is least of your problems. That in itself is a scary thought. Link to comment
