coffee_rules Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 lets not carried away' date='we effectively played this match with 10 players.Dhoni will still play all our test matches(atleast prior showed some dignity by stepping down).that means we are playing with 9 batsmen,thats a huge disadvantage to start a match.I dont think Dhawan has a future in test cricket but will GG be any better? .Ashwin will probably replace Binny in the next test but i would play Pankaj instead.[/quote'] If we are playing 5 bowlers , it has to be Ashwin instead of Binny. Binny was not even an all-rounder. He was in the team to score runs and be the 5th bowler. He didn't do either. Was unfortunate in I1, but it looks like he was given instructions to score some quick runs going by how Jadeja batted and he hoiked as soon as he came to bat and failed. This was a winning combination with Shami also contributing. There is no chance of Pankaj/Varun playing in T3. The only case is for Ashwin or Rohit to replace Binny. At least in batting Ashwin > Rohit and in bowling Rohit > Ashwin :vroam:
Austin 3:!6 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Will 7 test loss on a raw is enough for a Petersen comeback?
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 we just need to play well and select the right team. only real issue based on last test is binny so id get aaron in. he can bat a bit but we need 20 wickets again. Plus dhawan and kohli and pujara yet to make big big runs so id say our batting is more than capable. GET AARON IN!
gattaca Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 No mental disintegration started by Ishant.if you loose on the greenest wicket in all of England you can't win anywhere. We defeated them at their skill which is swing batted well and bowled well and our attack has variety.
cowboysfan Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I really dont see anything special from AAron,he just doesnt seem suited for test cricket imo.if they want to play a fast bowler in place of Binny then i would like to see pankaj.
daryl1985 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 This England team lacks heart, i think it will be tough for them from here. If either team win this series it will be a massive achievement, India as it is their 1st notable win against foreign opposition in a long time and with a young team. For England, they are at their lowest point since 1999 so a win from this position would be a big deal.
putrevus Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Sl is *****y team where everything went right for them still it took last but one ball to win one test. India were unlucky not to win in sa and nz.
undisputed chap Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 England will comeback hard. We can't get complacent now . Replace bunny with saha /gambhir /ashwin . I don't trust dhoni @ no.6 & i trust nohit even less. Mooli can bowl a few overs if needed no need for a fifth bowler.
StriKe Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 England will comeback hard. We can't get complacent now . Replace bunny with saha /gambhir /ashwin . I don't trust dhoni @ no.6 & i trust nohit even less. Mooli can bowl a few overs if needed no need for a fifth bowler. Murali looked threatening due to rough patch in pitch.. He is harmless and will leak runs if he is going to be our fifth bowler.
undisputed chap Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Murali looked threatening due to rough patch in pitch.. He is harmless and will leak runs if he is going to be our fifth bowler. We don't have have options. Dhoni is not a no.6 bat . Dhoni & jaddu are walking wkts. Kohli is out of form & dawn is too inconsistent. We need a batsman who can stop a collapse which has happened in all the innings so far. Imo we should play an extra batsman in gambhir / saha .
rkt.india Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Will 7 test loss on a raw is enough for a Petersen comeback? peterson played 5 of them.
rkt.india Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I really dont see anything special from AAron' date='he just doesnt seem suited for test cricket imo.if they want to play a fast bowler in place of Binny then i would like to see pankaj.[/quote'] He has pace and that is his advantage.
undisputed chap Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 He has pace and that is his advantage. But he is gun barrel straight. Will be walloped whole day Ishwar or pankaj atleast can swing it a bit.
rkt.india Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 But he is gun barrel straight. Will be walloped whole day Ishwar or pankaj atleast can swing it a bit. I dont know from where people get he cannot swing. He has a good seam, give him good conditions, he will swing too.
CG Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I dont know from where people get he cannot swing. He has a good seam' date=' give him good conditions, he will swing too.[/quote'] Yup.
Austin 3:!6 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 peterson played 5 of them. And was the top scorer for England and unfairly dropped.
virufan Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 they can make a comeback if they play this side in remaining 3 games .1-compton 2-lyth 3-ballance 4-robson 5-root © 6-ali 7-woakes 8-foster 9-onion 10-finn 11-jordan //kerrigann .if they field this team they will win 3-1 .everybody will be hungry to proove themselves Thats a drastic and a good one. Let ECB not get this idea:pray:
virufan Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 peterson played 5 of them. There should be a Like option just like Facebook in this forum.
BlueBee Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 the sad thing for india is that if they win this series they will go under a fake illusion that everything has become so right for them and they r a strong team be4 being shown the harsh reality in australia later this year .it happened with srilanka likely to happen with india too. Sad thing is you didn't win at Lord's but we did. So it's not the same:king:
