Which four bowlers must play in next test?

[Texan]

Absolutely rubbish team selection to go back to Zak and Ishant. I can understand Zak, but Ishant was barely bowling 125 - 135 kph. B Kumar bowls at the same pace, but with control, seam and swing movement. So, why Ishant again???? We surely can't continue with the same bowlers who almost let a record 4th innings chase. My choices would be: B Kumar Mohd Shami Umesh Yadav Ashwin / Jadeja (not sure on this one)

[NareshK]

Umesh will be better in these conditions. B Kumar tries to slide the ball across the surface at medium pace and tries to move the ball in the air which is more effective in England and New Zealand. Here you need some pace or a bowler who has the height and can hit the deck like Ishant. Also, Umesh is good when the ball is reversing whereas B Kumar is not.

[Texan]

Damn... missed Yadav in the options

Umesh would be better on this wicket. Durban is pacy. BK should play the next 2 away Test in NZ & Eng, IMO.

[Cricketics]

It's not rubbish to pick Zak or Ishant. It's rubbish to leave BK out. I will still play Zak. He is best in India. Yes still our best bowler, before someone tries to talk shyt about him. I will play Bhuv as fourt seamer. Best swing bowler in the country. Will bowl long spells like Praveen Kumar. He will bowl quickly too so Dhoni doesn't have to worry about over rate. He is going to set up lot of dismissals.

no Yadav in the options :blink:

Which 4 bowlers should play the next SA Test (Take 2) - Updated options Select 4

[Gunner]

Bhuvi is out of form, Yadav and Jadeja should play in Durban. The real mofo who prevented us from winning this test was Ashwin who couldn't pick a wicket defending 450+ on a 5th day pitch

[Cricketics]

Zaheer-shami-bhuvneshwar-ishant. Last test. Ishant seems to have found rhythm after playing some odi's. Umesh, is good but we will be asking too much from him in the deciding test. Hence I go with the above line up.

[Number]

Unchanged XI.

[NareshK]

no.look at Philander

Philander often hits the deck a bit harder and gets the ball to move off the surface. That's why he gets bounce too. B Kumar is not that type of bowler.

[Temujin Khaghan]

spin is totally on in kingsmead. bhajji and herath played huge roles in their team's respective wins in the last two tests here. saffers haven't won here since 2008. zak-ishanth-shami-ojha would be my attack if you force me to take yadav, then it would at the cost of zak.

[Texan]

Edited.

Bhuvi is out of form' date= Yadav and Jadeja should play in Durban. The real mofo who prevented us from winning this test was Ashwin who couldn't pick a wicket defending 450+ on a 5th day pitch

what form is Yadav in?:hmmm:

yeah. bhuvi floats the ball, phil hits the deck hard more like asif and mcgrath, even though he is not as tall

[Texan]

Never mind this poll.. Vote in the other thread I just created with Yadav as an option. Voting thread link with Yadav as an option

[Texy]

Forget it....Dhobi is NOT dropping Ashwin....

Anyhow, this is what basically would happen... .. 'Uh ! we are playing with the same side, Micheal'
