There simply is no chance for Dhoni to consider letting any one go, he wont drop Ishant ( esp after those 3 wickets). He Cant drop Shami/Bhuv that leaves undropables and Jadeja/Binny/Dhawan. Rahane can go up Rohit can play at 6 instead of Dhawan, can bowl his dibbly - Wont happen since it too big a change and Rohit is suspect in swing. Ashwin can comein for Jadeja - Bats better bowls may be better, - unlikely since he sucked worse than Jadeja overseas. Binny - Real problem creator, saved a match with some gritty batting along with jadeja, if pitch is green he might bowl well. - Pankaj for Ishant is the only theoretical possibility that might make team stronger. - Ashwin for Jadeja less so - not sure if he would have batted like Jadeja to save the test. So no changes.

Thats not going to happen' date=' Dhoni will never let go of Ishant. The only way to get rid of Ishant is to get rid of Dhoni himself.[/quote'] You're right, we have no choice but to hope Ishant bowls like he did in that spell where he took 3 wickets.

no ...correct me if am wrong all this grass will be removed ...pitches even during ashes looked like this 2 days before match but they always removed it ...its never this green during game
+1 They did the same in SA. It's all going to be chopped up to give us a nice choco brown deck.

Yes.grass is just to retain the moisture before the match starts.pitch might get flatter as the match progresses

They need the grass till the penultimate day to hold the pitch together. The absence of bounce and dryness is because of lack of moisture. Simply having grass is not going to create the bounce everyone is hoping for.
bounce happens because of hardness and grass, not because of moisture. Moisture makes the ball seam around.

Shami isnt fit. It can really backfire if he plays and bowls like he did in first test.
any concrete news or?

interesting.more than the poms the indians bowlers will be ecstatic,i would think a lot of it would be shaved off but the most critical part is the bounce on this pitch.

IMO he got a klpd after having a look at the dead pitch, with everyone expecting the usual bowler-friendly wicket at Trent Bridge. If the pitch is indeed green at Lords, it might energize him to bowl better.

Lol. He has jellied up a bit since the last time. Did not bowl a single delivery over 140 in TBridge. Think he's right about losing his mojo when he stays away from the game.

Binny isnt a bowler.
+++ When will people understand that Stuart Binny is not test material? He can't field, can't bowl and his bat is average.
Posted
LOL he injured his belly? or ate something bad?
he is flabby, out if shape, low in pace and not getting his action right due to that. Shami isnt a swing bowler like BK. If he bowls that slow, he will be ineffective.

Shami has one iffy game on one of flattest track ever and people want him axed. Meanwhile Ishant....:hysterical: Looks like many have got the dhoni disease. Must be that long hair luring people:hysterical:
