FischerTal Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Agreed. We found the right length in the last game and hopefully stick to that. Could be more fuller with the new ball. Bhuvan's inclusion on a green top would be nice. But the recent green top bull crap before the Test match have always been a faux. Its stays green for a session and later turns out to be a flat deck. And they usually talk big about the green top against India. Dhoni won't change team but if it is indeed a green top, it'd be criminal to not play 4 pacers. I would keep jadeja and throw out rohit, who has no clue against new ball Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SLICKR392 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Dhoni would obviously keep Jadeja whereas NZ would play 5 quicks; 4 frontline and Anderson. Rohit won't be dropped either so realistically, Zak is the only one who could be dropped. This also could be his last Test match, IMO. Did anyone see Zak holding stretching his back? Commies mentioned that too. Hopefully that is a temp serious injury. Someone like Jaddu could take wickets without bowling. Won't drop him as of yet and has done well in his last 4 innings in NZ.

Lord Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 would be stupid to drop Jaddu.his fielding energised the team in 2nd innings imo
veer Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Jaddu is must.. sacrifice RoSharma or Rahane for one pacer.. I would have suggested Dhawan to be dropped, but he is a opener.. cant makeshift another player at his place..
SLICKR392 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Dhawan scored an awesome ton in the last game man ! Is NcCullum in the Test squad? He will be shyte in Test, but better than Sodhi. Gotta drop a batsman or Zak but I believe Zak played a very good role in leading the attack in the last game. He could have been the one who build the blueprint for the 2nd innings. Dawes or Dhoni doesn't seem to be capable of that.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Yadav, shami, pandey. let loose and see the results.
Iconoclast Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Green top will give India best chance for a win. Dhoni must play 4 pacers.
adi B Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 no need to play a spinner if that is the case..play yadav over jadeja,jadeja bowled 36 ovrs and picked 2 wkts,if a pacer plays and bowls that many no.of ovrs then he'll most definitely pick at least 4-5 wkts. we have to win this one so a greentop might be a blessing in disguise
veer Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Dhawan scored an awesome ton in the last game man ! He got couple of lives on day 3 when he was in less than 10 or 20.. M.Vijay looked better than him in both innings but got out..
CSK Fan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hmm, moral will be down with all the allegations flying around
Gunner Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 It'd be awesome if our best pacer can get a game for once...
gattaca Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hmm' date=' moral will be down with all the allegations flying around[/quote'] I think Test will over in three days. you are correct. The CSK allegation during final made them loose before even playing.
SLICKR392 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 He got couple of lives on day 3 when he was in less than 10 or 20.. M.Vijay looked better than him in both innings but got out.. Really? Thought he was dropped on 0 and since then he never gave them a chance.
cowboysfan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 yeah i am not trusting this,lets see some pictures of this pitch.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 no need to play a spinner if that is the case..play yadav over jadeja,jadeja bowled 36 ovrs and picked 2 wkts,if a pacer plays and bowls that many no.of ovrs then he'll most definitely pick at least 4-5 wkts. we have to win this one so a greentop might be a blessing in disguise If you want 4 pacers then yeah jadeja might need to budge. But jadeja to me did his bit with great fielding and wickets. He needs to pick more but he did fine.
Tailender Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 indian bowlers will be hoping the pitch slows down a bit like it did in the last test... otherwise jadeja and shami won't be as effective
