Is it time to look beyond Ashwin-Jadeja for Away Tests?

Enough of these HTBs it started from Kumble and it needs to end now.
Kumble had a couple of excellent seasons in county cricket. He could not replicate that regularly in test cricket outside India but he did have some great spells in countries like Australia. He was a very skillful bowler.

I am asking to replace Jaddu with a leg spinner.
why Amit Mishra or Piyush Chawla were worse than jadeja. You need a good spinner it does not matter who he is as long as he is capable of getting wickets by beating batsmen in air and not depend on pitch doing the job for him.

Sorry but for a bowler who has more than 600 wickets he was hardly a match winner with the overseas.

That is almost Bhuvi's pace :cantstop: Jaddu bowls quicker,but is unable to turn it.Ashwin turns it but too slow.Need one who can turn it quick backed by a good leader look at the field in video.Dhoni would never give that:giggle:

In tests I understand ojha was the no 1 spinner and in odi ashwin was the best spinner followed by jade ja. ..I guess Ojha has the skills to suceed even in England. What do you guys say. .. Ojha has been the most successful spinner in tests for india.

Ojha has been hard done by selectors but its a fashionable statement to make that he is better than Ashwin. But you never know. Ojha could have been handy in England. Did take 24 wickets at 12.95 avg in Division 2 County circuit in 2011. Ok its Division 2 but still.

Didnt Chawla and Tahir do well there too?Its hard to take them seriously My guess is Ashwin or even Jaddu would do well in county if they play.Domestic English bats seem poor vs spin.Test matches are different thing altogether Problem with Ojha is also that he can never be the 5th bowler with 4 pacer.I don't see him making a 4 man attack overseas.So Ashwin wins that 5th bowler role easily due to his batting

Yes. I agree. I think we should go with 3 pacers and 2 spinners unless a pitch demands 4 pacers at all cost. Why? Cos our 2 spinners would come into play on Day 4 and 5. That's one of the strategic advantages we will have over other teams. As long as our 3 pacers are chosen properly, it should be fine.

But we need to atleast take the game till 4th 5th day

I'm not sure about that day.I don't see any of our spinners doing much unless there's a big rough which you rarely get overseas even on 5th day.For rest of the match they are confined to run saving options only.4 pacers give us more wicket taking options and a buffer in case a pacer bowls bad,which is very likely since all of them are inexperienced

I think we need to test both options and see.
