Indian team for second Test v/s England (2014 series in Eng)

[tweaker]

Dhawan,Kohli,Shami,Jadeja have looked out of sorts in this match.The team management should look for changes or should give them 1 more chance

[kruiser]

kpatan Kool will field the same team... give them kanfidence u know..

[adi B]

Dhawan Mooli Chepu Kohli Rahane Dhoni Bhuvi Jadeja/ashwin Pankaj Aaron Shami Drop binny and pishant

[adi B]

If dhoni plays binny as the bowling AR which he will,he needs to give him more overs

[Gunner]

What's the pitch expected to be? Dry, green or flat?

Swing bowlers do enjoy Lords.

[King Tendulkar]

Flat.

Well you say flat. But after trent bridge and the hammering it got, this could be unlike lords pitches of recent year. The groundsman will be under massive pressure to produce a pitch which helps bowlers. May be a pitch to aid pacers. But yes if like recent lords pitches will be flat. But nothing can be as flat as trent bridge

[tweaker]

india should strenghten its bowling by including either of Pankaj,Pandey,Aaoran,Ashwin

[Straight Drive]

Lords is the flattest wicket one can come across in England. I don't see India changing a team unless they opt to change the team composition or go to include players which are of different skill set than which they replace.If we had lost the first test, then we could have seen like for like replacements in skill sets category.

Its tough for them to make a pitch like that it seems after the new drainage system they have in place expect it to flat.

[ShebbySB]

Probable XI:-Vijay,Dhawan,Pujara,Kohli,Rahane,Dhoni,Binny,Ashwin,BK,Shami,Ishant. MY XI(more attacking one):-Vijay,Dhawan,Pujara,Kohli,Rahane,Dhoni,Ashwin,BK, Shami,Aaron,Ishant/Pankaj.

[vvvslaxman]

Lol you really think Dhoni will make any changes? lol

Everyone will wake up from their dream in 3 days :cantstop:

[coffee_rules]

Bowlers Ashwin > Jadeja > Binny Batting Ashwin > Binny > Jadeja (from what we saw in T1). So, a safer bet is to have Ashwin, Binny for their better batting, bowling will still be the same as T1. We lost 4 tests in a row in 2011..We draw one test and all are thinking this team can hope to a win a test in Eng . The same team couldn't win in NZ. This team will NOT win a test in Eng. At best, we can draw a few tests. I will be happy with a 2-0 to Eng with 3 boring/exciting draws.

Bhuvaneswar's addition as a bowler has somewhat lent some balance to this side. He was not used in NZ and SA. Zak screwed up the future with his entry.

true. Big problem in England this. But maybe under pressure may leave a bit more grass on it

[GautiMaan]

"We haven't had a seaming allrounder but Stuart Binny can be someone who can really contribute for us in the future. I don't regret not playing Ashwin because there was no help for the spinner. We had good combinations and I was happy with the bowling attack," he said.

So Jaddu and Binny will play,just hope they will find a way to chip in with atleast a couple of wickets.

[Straight Drive]

I think they will not fiddle too much with the team as Lords too is a typical batsman friendly wicket.We might see the same playing 11.

[virufan]

Bring gambhir in place of kohli & ashwin for jaddu maybe.

GG for Kohli?? and why not instead of Dhawan?
