Mohali pitch won't be a turner like Chennai or Hyderabad: PCA officials

[Pagalpanti]

Hopefully we go back to the 7 batsmen 4 bowler formula. Bhajan' date=' Jaddu , Sehwag out, Ojha, Rahane, Dhawan in. [/quote'] People still hating on Jadeja while he's easily been our 2nd best bowler. :headshake:

Not hating man,if it truly isnt a spinning wicket then we might be better off playing a specialist batsman instead of jaddu scratching around at no.7

Not hating man' date='if it truly isnt a spinning wicket then we might be better off playing a specialist batsman instead of jaddu scratching around at no.7[/quote'] why not play a specialist batsman ahead of King Ishant?

Then who will partner Bhuvan:hmmm:?

they are missing straighter ones

It'll be interesting to see how our bowlers, especially spinners do on this wicket. This will be a true test to Jadeja and what he can accomplish with the bowl. If Sachin doesn't score a century in this test.. I think he should bow out.

[Pagalpanti]

^ If he manages a good score and get out why should it matter any less? He was in terrific form in 1st test, was unlucky to get out to a bad ball in this test.

Aussies these days are super FTBs. Pitch has to have something. A fast pitch for INdia is as good as flat pitch for opposition. In addition our batsmen will be in a disadvantageous position.

[urbestfriend]

Jaddu is all right. It will be a super flat pitch which means our top 6 batters can make merry, no need to change the team except St the top I.e. rahane for viru.

[Sandeep99]

With the series almost in the pocket, time to test ourselves...how far have we really come!

[Sidhoni]

That was expected. Mohali normally is suited for pacers. So, Dhawan for Sehwag, Rahane for Bhajji?

are our 2 pacers + 2 spinners ( who are yet to prove themselves on tracks not helping spin) enough for mohali?

Ash and Jaddu have to play. You can't drop them on any basis whatsoever. The 2 pacers, Bhuvi is good but I think Shami would have been a much better choice than Ishant.

[asterix]

Bhajji will play as it's his 'home ground'...

[SLICKR392]

Unlucky and Bhajan need to make way for Shami and Ojha. Not gonna happen : Dhobi :finger:

There is no Shami in the squad.

[rkt.india]

Mohali is one of the worst pitch for spinners in India in domestic cricket. If it plays like it did in Ranji trophy, spinners are not going make much difference.

[saneindian]

4 bowlers have always backfired us.

Hain? In our test history probably 90% of the matches we have played has been with 4 bowlers! Even under Dhoni, matches were we went with 5 bowlers will be a small number.

Check out the recent records. We have been doing much better with the 5 bowlers plan.
