3rd Investec Test: England v India at Southampton - Pre Match Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

It might have stopped him form bowling but does not relate to him being out of shape.
i do not think he is that out of shape ..i have seen zaheer being out of shape and this is nothing close to it he just did not looked in rhythm to me and was short of match practice anyway it looks like he is getting better and with long gap between test i am sure he will be fully ft and ready for next match

Yes. He might get fitter. OTT, I never said drop Shami for Aaron, but instead replace Binny. He can bowl short spells at pace which Binny did not do.

And IMO Aaron indeed should be played in ODIs for the time being. Its not as if he's going to bowl 95 mph in the tests, he will at best be around the 85-86 mph mark, around the same as Ishant. Given propensity for short and wide bowling, could be a totally wrong move. Better to get in someone like Pankaj who will get natural bounce due to his height. .
Test cricket is easier format for fast bowlers than ODIs to settle and get confidence, IMO, especially when playing overseas like SA and England. A bit of waywardness does not hurt you that much and you can express yourself, but ODIs played on pattas with current rules and 2 new balls can destroy a bowler.

I said Aaron is not ready for test yet because I know BK will do well in these conditions and Shami has been impressive and Ishant might not be doing well in warmups wont be dropped after good NZ series. It is not like he cannot play and do well in these conditions, but I thought those guys can be better than him as he lacks experience too.

Even if he is dropped, it wont hurt much. Likes of Pankaj and Pandey both are capable of doing as good as he did in this series till now.

Resting him is only going to make him rusty like he himself claims to be when he takes a break.

If we had a leg spinner at Lords, we would have won that match far easily. I hope selectors look at Karan Sharma. We need a leg spinner overseas. Overseas, spinners do not get much turn from main area of the pitches, but from rough and that is where a leg spinners comes into play.

Many didn't even want Ishant and Bhuvi in the squad. Thank god selectors thought differently in those instances at least and we won the first test at Lords after decades? and first test overseas after 13 matches ?Shami too should be persisted with. imo the first choice bowling attack has done really well given the surfaces which they have bowled on and the results we have got so far. The second choice bowlers (Varun, Pankaj, Pandey) have to wait unless there is injury before third test or planned rotation. The third choice bowling attack (Umesh,Jasprit) need to wait for their turn as well given how the first choice bowlers are performing overall.

Selectors need to sop going back to Mishra and try someone else. Karan Sharma is a good option, has good control and can bat too. I would have liked him in place of Ashwin as second spinner. He might be rookie but wont do worse than Ashwin.

agree with everything but umesh should be in squad . he is not third choice but one of the rarest type of bowler we have who has pace and movement with both old and new ball he should have ideally been in squad in place of one 2nd choice bowler pandey and pankaj are awfully similar and have no reason for both of them being in squad anyway

Yeah' date=' I Think Binny Will Definitely Be Replaced but By Who is the question.Most of us Want an Extra Bowler to play to ease the workload of the other bowlers and give us the best possible chance of taking 20 wickets. But Msd Might go for Extra Batmen Which would most Probably be Rohit[/quote'] In case of like for like replacement Ash will come in,a defensive choice will be Rohit for Binny,an attacking option will be Aaron or Pankaj for Binny.Let's see.
