Which four bowlers must play in next test?

[Austin 3:!6]

Zaheer, Ishant, Shammi and Jadeja will be my 4 bowlers. I have no doubt we would have won today if jadeja was playing.

[Ghost Buster]

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

Durban pitch is actually slower than wanderers. Srilanka won a test match there recently. SA pitches has slowed down, thats what steyn says.

[Gunner]

what form is Yadav in?:hmmm:

Yadav bowled pretty well in the 2nd and 3rd ODI considering the pitch was batting-friendly. Bhuvi-Mohit conceded 350+ on a bowling paradise of a wicket.

:facepalm::facepalm: 5 voted For Ishant :facepalm::facepalm:

[cowboysfan]

there is zero chance we will play 4 fast bowlers ,absolutely none. i would like jaddu to play in place of ashwin.

lol how did you decide one is batting friendly and other isnt infact we conceding 350 showed it was flat and everybody sucked.Yadav conceded runs at 7.5 and 6 RPO respectively too.

There was loads of movement in the 1st ODI with the new ball and very little in the others. Anyways what would your bowling attack be for Durban?

[Tendulkar_Bhai]

For me Zak is a certainty, he was easily hitting 138 on day 5 which says a lot of his fitness and had a good 1st innings. Steyn as well had a poor test match Zak is undroppable. I would consider Jadega for Ashwin but otherwise no changes needed.

depends on the pitch.if its green play 4 seamers : Zak,Shami,Yadav,BK else play Jadeja instead of BK

[rkt.india]

Philander hits the deck.

Agree with this attack. But Zak may be rested as next match is in 3 days.

[JourneyMan]

5 bowlers, Ashwin and Jadeja should BOTH play. Shami, Zaheer and BK. Between BK and Jadeja, they should be able to make up for the removed batsman (Rohit Sharma, or let Sharma open and sacrifice one of the openers).

Ashwin or Jadeja for 2nd Test? Ashwin pros Possibly better batsmen for these conditions as he has height giving him an automatic advantage Has found his feet batting at test level and has more experience Bowled on a dead pitch in Joburg and still held up and end- ABDV would have taken many spinners apart in that situation May bowl better in Durban- Swann, Bhaji, Herath and even Harris have performed well in the past Cons Donkey in the field Lacks the ability to produce a 'wonder' ball out of nothing Does not have much experience of bowling in foreign conditions- negates his experience advantage over Jaddu Jadeja Pros Would boost the fielding strength of our side greatly- eliminating a Donkey and replacing him with a Trojan Is capable of producing a super delivery out of nothing- even on dead wickets Has produced two cameos in tests- Dehli and Mohali 2013 vs australia Cons has never bowled with the pressure of being the "first spinner" has not yet fully acclimatised to batting at international level and may struggle in these conditions due to his lack of height If you go after him- his head may drop (based only on ODI evidence though)

[Raghav_12]

Ashwin has to be dropped irrespective of the combination you go for.

[mancalledsting]

mods- could you add a poll?
