Should we play 4 fast bowlers next match?

[Zanjeer]

Fatwin couldn't do much here. Hopefully dhobi plays umesh next match. Our fast bowlers looked really tired bowling too many overs and its no secret only fast bowlers are getting wickets in SA.

[Pagalpanti]

Can't afford to, Ashwin provides much needed resistance in our tail.

[SLICKR392]

Our tail is ripe shyte without Ashwin and lets have a look at the wicket too.

[urbestfriend]

Yes, Bhuvi should replace Ashwin ..Ashwin is useless and his batting of no value as our tail starts with Dhoni.

[vayuu1]

How I wished we had a fit Irfan pathan,his medium pace would have been handy +plus he is a good player against fast bowling ,not to forget a left hand batsmen sent from dil se

[vayuu1]

And his left arm swing would have been ideal,an ideal replacement for ash sent from dil se

[veer]

Jaddu should replace Ashwin.. .Jaddu would atleast turn the ball.. handy bat plus good 4th inning bowler.

Not even close to being test quality. Poor bowler and poor batsman. Early on, he could have been a good bowler but not now.

[Number]

Durban helps spinners, so 2 spinners. Rohit out Jadeja in.

[King Tendulkar]

On the bowling front defo 4 seamers. Had Yadav today to help and we would be batting now Only thing that saves ashwin is his batting. Thus on batting front need ashwin. On bowling front need Yadav more Take your pick?

[King Tendulkar]

Also who knows 4th innings may be glad we had ashwin Saying that ashwin bowled very poorly today, too short. Did not need him to take wickets just keep one end tight but was leaking runs galore

[vvvslaxman]

Even the great Steyn was rendered ineffective fort he best part of the match. Kallis was really pathetic. Got lucky. Morkel was the stand out bowler throughout the match due to the steep bounce he extracted at high pace. Philander was okay. Overall we played him well bar the tailenders. So an additional bowler is needed here. Mostly to give respite to other bowlers.

Bhuneshwar over Yadav. Will help Dhoni move the game fast as he has shortner run up and doesn't run out of steam that fast compared to other players in the team. He is a unique bowler like Praveen Kumar. Praveen had brilliant success in England test with his long spells. Bhuvneshwar will do the same with his military medium pace, yet with brilliant swing. This is where our slip cordon will come into play a lot and will be getting more catches, than what they were getting today in a blue moon which they also dropped. Trust me, Bhuvneshwar will add great value to this bowling line up. LONG SPELLS, LONG SPELLS, LONG SPELLS. REMEMBER that.

[King Tendulkar]

No way must be Yadav X Factor. Yadav also will be one for all conditions day in day out. BK as soon as new ball is gone(should not get new ball as shami and zak should) is very ineffective. Has shown no signs of abilty to reverse it, so is just 78mph trundler with new ball.

[Cricketics]

Zaheer and Shami are there to attack. Sharma is also trying to attack every time. It's time to have Bhuneshwar who will a different bowler than all 3 who are playing in this test. He will surely be bowling more overs, economically and getting swing every time and bagging loads of wickets. Remember, he is our bowler who will provide those caugh behind dismissals. In South Africa, we need such dismissals to happen, and with his swing and cutters, he will be handy. Plus, it will be too much load with Umesh as we will have 4 bowlers who will be trying too hard to finish up 90 overs in a day and might over do things and tire themselves out.

X factor is only one guy in our bowling line up. And that is Zaheer Khan. No one else is an X factor.

4 bowlers attacking and providing pressure is brillinat. Like a dream. Dont know why you want this economical stock bowler? Plus BK does not get swing every time. Thats his problem. Once new ball goes, he stops swinging and shows no evidence yet of serious reverse like a shami or zak. He then becomes a 78mph trundler. Much prefer to unleah yadav on them. Serious pace

[ThePhenomenal1]

If we had yadav, i doubt philander would have lasted. We are desperately missing a seam allrounder. Heck, we wouldnt need one if our tail atleast held up. Its pathetic. We can neither bat with our own tail or take another's tail out.

[King Tendulkar]

Yes zak is a genius. But shami shows signs may get there. Yada could be x factor as well. All teams are searching for fast bowlerrs, we have one and dont play him:((
