Sachin=GOD Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Still here. :finger: He's there to score runs' date= not to pick wickets after 115 overs. And those who are here to take wickets are not doing it.
SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 And those who are here to take wickets are not doing it. That's why you needed an extra bowler for Rohit. As I said earlier, it's not about Rohit scoring runs or not, but an extra seamer's luxury. Don't tell me you are ok with this selection on this wicket.

As I said earlier' date=' it's not about Rohit scoring runs or not, but an extra seamer's luxury.[/quote'] luxury ? its necessity and team already decided to draw the game by going wth 3 bowlers in first inning with spinners only coming to play in last inning and we will pay for it lets see how many runs extra batsman scores

Old guy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It's a luxury for India considering our history with 3 seamers. what history ? being one of the worst teams outside of subcontinent ?
SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 what history ? being one of the worst teams outside of subcontinent ? 'Our history with 3 seamers'
SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Say we draw this match, and the next pitch is a more helpful on for the seamers. Still play Rohit?
Old guy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Say we draw this match' date=' and the next pitch is a more helpful on for the seamers. Still play Rohit?[/quote'] depends totally on who draws the match no ?:giggle:
Old guy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 also soon we will have to rest shami and probably bhuvi so i dont know what combination will be but on this track extra batsman means nothing we need extra bowlers and little bit of luck which tbf was against pankaj but for next game he should be ahead of shami

As per for Bhuvi, he should be rested if there isn't a lot to offer for the seamers in Manchester. Play Ashwin + the other 4 seamers- Aaron, Pandey, Pankaj and Ishant. Hope we give England a scare in the 2nd innings.

Did something on Day 1, and we had our chances with the catch and 2 plumb appeals. Or just play Shami but FFS include an extra seamer. Shami doesn't look tired but a bit inconsistent. Might get better. And yeah, that's why I said the Anderson's hearing post 3rd Test is pointless. :giggle: Its very likely he will be rested after this Test.

SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 well i hope kohli steps up..if both dhawan and kohli fire this match might come alive but i think it is gonna be boring till the end One of them stepping up is crucial. Need to the keep the run afloat for until some period and then they have the permission to bore us to the grave.
Sachin=GOD Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 @Sabby & Slickr - take your bowlers discussion somewhere else :headshake:
CSK Fan Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yes please rest our chief wicket taker Bhuvi. It is not like we need wickets to win matches. A bowler taking 5-fers and 6-fers should be rested because some new bowlers beat the bat a couple of times
maniac Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Congrats Rohit on your first test wicket absolutely amazing bowling :two_thumbs_up:
