[cricketfan28]

[sourab10forever]

Rain and historically old trafford has supported pacers with swing and movement Plus since renovation the spinners will have a bigger say

That means Indian batsmen will fail miserably....

Good thing is we'll have 7 days of rest before 4th test, Much needed for Bhuvi. Also Anderson might get a two match ban.

no we still have Rohit Sharma to bail us out if our top order doesnt perform

[ThePhenomenal1]

Ashwin should come in for sure...with the number of lefties in England, it is worth a punt...and I doubt if the newbies like Ballance,Robson,Butler,Moeen,Jordan have faced carrom balls much...some surprise factor will be there...he will also be more effective against tail where we have faced problems....slip catching will be better as a bonus... He can come in place of Rohit or Jadeja or one of the pacers ( Shami??) depending on the pitch... Flat pitch - In place of Shami...no point of having 3 mediocre seamers on flat pitch and tire them...better to have Ashwin who has experience of atleast controlling runs and can bowl long spells Seaming/Swinging pitch - In place of Rohit or Jadeja From whatever we have seen of Dhoni so far, he will have ego problem dropping Rohit after just one match ( to be fair none of our batsmen bar Vijay and Rahane have done anything great so far so Rohit need not be singled out ) and Jadeja is well ...Jadeja ( undroppable)...So Shami goes out... I can't see any other changes from Dhoni...Dhawan will stay as he has improved a bit in 2nd innings and too risky to get a raw Gambhir in...

in 2nd innings, only pujara scored less than rohit. All other top batsmen scored more (VJ doesnt count, ran out)

Rohit Sharma Is Not A Match Winner.

Rohit Sharma Is Not A Match Winner.

Yup...he was BORN TO FAIL.

Gambo Mooli Chepu Rihanna Kohli Ashwin Bhuvi Dhoni Shami Aaron Pankaj. If it assists heavy spin(not likely) then jadeja implace of Pankaj

why Shami again?hes been crap.if its not a greentop I'd play 2 spinners

Old Trafford will certainly help spinners more than Lords and Ageas Bowl.

If we play 5 bowlers Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jaddu Ashwin Bhuvi Aaron Pankaj If we play 7 Batsman Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Ojha Dhoni Ashwin Bhuvi Aaron Pankaj

[vvvslaxman]

England side was on the verge of breakdown at the end of 2nd test. After winning every single session in third test against uber defensive dhoni , they are brimming with confidence. At best India will return 1-1

[vishalvirsingh]

If we play 5 bowlers Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jaddu Ashwin Bhuvi Aaron Pankaj If we play 7 Batsman Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Ojha Dhoni Ashwin Bhuvi Aaron Pankaj

I agree with this.
