BlueBee Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Mine Bhuvi - Can swing a mile Shami - Has pace and Swing, Probably our best bowler Umesh - Has the pace and natural Out swing Aaron - Pace Mishra/Ashwin/Jaddu - Needs one spinner
FischerTal Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Be Realistic Zak Ishant Shami Jadeja/Ashwin Replace shami with vinny Kumar :giggle:
tweaker Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Ideal squad Shami Aaoron Yadav realistic squad Ishant Zaheer Shami
saneindian Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 5 test series we will need a pool of at least 6 seamers in a bigger squad of 17 or 18 if required. Most likely selections would be Zak, Ishant, Shami, Bhuvi, Umesh, Ishwar and Aaron. Hopefully though instead of Zak we will see Dhawal. Spinners will be Jaddu and Ashwin. Mishra probably would lose out
Soorma_Bhopali Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Mine Bhuvi - Can swing a mile Shami - Has pace and Swing, Probably our best bowler Umesh - Has the pace and natural Out swing Aaron - Pace :two_thumbs_up: I would play only 3 of them in a test match - Bhuvi , Shami and Umesh ..Aaron only if any of three is off form Spinners - Ashwin & Jadeja ..Mishra to come in only if any of these is off form .. Mishra/Ashwin/Jaddu - Needs one spinner

BlueBee Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 You will play 2 spinners, Did you forgt what happened in SA and NZ @Soorma Bhopali
King Tendulkar Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Its all waste of time discussing this. Dhoni will pick Zak, Ishant, Shami
tatters Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I'm torn about Bhuvi. I can imagine banging my head against a wall when he takes the outside edge but bounces short of Dhoni because he has no pace. Is Yadav in good form? Looked decent at the start of the Australian tour a couple of years ago but yet to see any consistency. Aaron is a loose cannon isn't he? Could start spraying it about and getting hammered for runs. As much as we hate trundlers, we also need to balance out the need for line and length. Because England batsmen won't be troubled by any pace. If you get a 90mph+ bowler being erratic he will go for big runs.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 u cant have 3 pacers for a 5 test series. changes will have to be made. Hope selectors use this ipl thing and dhoni's recent string of losses as a way of moving forward. make kohli/ pujara captain and let zak be bowling coach. ishant on the backburner. aaron, shami, umesh, bhuvi, pandey, kulkarni, awana, maybe pankaj cmon selectors this is a golden opportunity. surely these are the same guys that axed zaheer, bhaji, sehwag, gg, yuvraj (multiple times) and even raina. no one should be undroppable.
rkt.india Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 BK' date='Shami,Yadav,Pandey,Pankaj[/quote'] Pandey, no way, after seeing him bowl in Deodhar Trophy. He has regressed badly after the string with Indian side.
Lord Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Pandey' date=' no way, after seeing him bowl in Deodhar Trophy. He has regressed badly after the string with Indian side.[/quote'] he seems to be suited for longe format for me.Also will get more help in English conditions
rkt.india Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 he seems to be suited for longe format for me.Also will get more help in English conditions How does it matter? Basics are same. He was bowling around 135 or more last time I saw him. He is now bowling 127-128. You need some pace no matter what the conditions are. We better play BK then if we want swing.
