[King Tendulkar]

1 Dhawan 2 Vijay 3 Pujara 4 Kohli 5 Rohit 6 Rahane 7 Someone give me a name. dhoni proven failure overseas. Chuck in sampson? 8 Jadeja 9 Aaron 10 Shami 11 Yadav Jiwanjot Singh(reserve opener), Rayudu, Ashwin, Jadeja, Pankaj Singh, Ishant

[Cricketics]

Same squad as the one for South Africa. I will replace Ishant Sharma with Pankaj Singh in the squad. and will play the same team as this 2nd test at Durban where Bhuvneshwar comes in for Ishant and Umesh for Zaheer.

BK will be just like zak is in this test. Zak bowling with great control and swing/reverse swing. Yet its all at 78mph. BK will be just liek this but with less swing Old ball, bit tricky, BK at 78 mph will be eaten alive by top class batting line ups

We have to see that. We have to to instead of hoping this and that will happen. BK has shown potential. Everyone said PK will be a shyt bowler in test matches and he went on to be the best bowler for India in England series where we were literally killed. We have to try before we make random opinions.

Aaron is not randomn option. He will bowl 88 mph compared to bks 78mph. Aaron also reverses it, not sure bK does. Also AAron is very accurate. Needs to come in asap What would be BK have done yesterday and today. Lets be honest. He would have been exaclty like zak but probably with less reverese. When will learn? You need some wheels Even zak look at him in this test. Has been bowling with super accuracy, swinging it both ways with reverse. So whats the problem compared to his prime days? Simple, now bowling 78mph when before 84 to 85. Its just pace which makes him less effective. Yet many dont see this and want to draft in another 78mph bowler. Flat track, 2 great bats like Kallis and De Villers at crease, they arent going to be bothered by 78mph guy. But the 90mph guy....

I am not talking about Aaron. I am saying making random opinions about BK.

Someone's one track minded love for Yadav and hatred of BK is bordering on obsession.

How is it randomn. We have all seen him bowl. Start of 82 to 83. Then after few overs goes down to 78 to 80. Yes swings new ball but also no evidence at all that can reverse it and even if can it will be reversing at sub 80 which will have no impact on the great batsman at international level In fact after 10 to 15 overs BK will just be a trundler in test cricket

Dont hate BK, think he is useful and may be factor in odis. But its same old thing, when will we learn that 78mph bowlers are not suited to test cricket. WHEN WILL WE LEARN

u like bk because he is "cute"...that's just ridiculous..:haha:

[surajmal]

Yadav has to come in for Lambu. I would keep rest of the team as is.

What's this obsession with pace all of a sudden. I mean it's fine to have pace bowlers in the team, but there has to be one guy in the team who can bowl long spells. PK will do that. We haven't really seen Aaron or Umesh continuously keeping their pace up and bowling long spell.s You haven't watched Aaron bowled in first class games for all 4 days have you right? There is not enough coverage of his games. I am not making an opinion about Aaron though here. I am just trying to say that Bhuvneshwar can be an asset for us in test. Long spell and consistency is what I like about him. He is more disciplined than any bowler I have seen in recent Indian bowling history.

[kaptaan]

give aaron a chance in ODIs...if he is fit enough to play a test then go with him

[saneindian]

Aaron in tests? Too early Has bowled about 140 overs in FC cricket since his comeback. Just not enough workout to suggest he is ready for a comeback yet.

The spinner can bowl the long spells. If bowling long spells without any motives of taking wickets is the aim.

[saneindian]

KT who will be your captain?

Off course that isn't. I like BK's bowling and he is still a seamer, who is way different than a spinner.

I give up. Let the thrundling culture continue!! The 78mph accurate bowler who can bowl long spells. Lets pack the team with them. Meanwhile rest of world is packing their teams with fast bowlers

[King Tendulkar]

KT who will be your captain?

Pujara or Kohli. Dont care which

If yadav was so good...he would be playing right ow......Bhui gives early breaks ad is economical.....he can trudle along for the rest .A few early breaks are worth having him in the team. Cuteness has othing to do with this...it is just a bous!:icflove: Sorry my key before m has a peaut stuck under it....
