kumar713 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 India squad for Australia tour to be picked on November 4 "The selection meeting will be held at 1:30 pm at Cricket Centre"
Pagalpanti Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I just hope this tour doesn't scar Rahane/Pujara/Kohli's test career. Johnson is on song and the way we surrendered last time around, I don't have much hope for tests.
mancalledsting Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 starting XI should be: Dhawan- one more try- first 2-3 tests of series M Vijay Chepu Kohli © Rahane Saha (wk) Irfan/PK/Rishi Dhawan (any seaming allrounder except fatso binny) Bhuvi Mishra Ishant Umesh
Lord Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 starting XI should be: Dhawan- one more try- first 2-3 tests of series M Vijay Chepu Kohli © Rahane Saha (wk) Irfan/PK/Rishi Dhawan (any seaming allrounder except fatso binny) Bhuvi Mishra Ishant Umesh PK as in Praveen Kumar?:cantstop:
bowl_out Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Starting XI will be : Vijay Dhawan Pujara Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jadeja Ashwin BK Shami Ishant What else would you expect from Dhoni? I would't want to see Jadeja in the test squad ever again. Aaron in place of Jadeja, with Ash + 4 seamers is the way to go
bowl_out Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I think and hope this will be Dhoni's last test series
Sooda Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Rahane, Vijay, Pujara, Kohli, Rohit, MSD, Ashwin, BK, Ishant, Aaron, Umesh Pankaj, Shami , Mishra, Saha, S Dhawan I like the idea of that 4 man pace attack, Aaron and Umesh in tandem should be good to watch. Ashwin in there makes the tail long though.
bowl_out Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^^ I like that XI. But the starting XI is unlikely to have a new set of openers. We might get to see something like this if Dhawan fails in the first couple of tests.
Lord Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Rahane is doing well in middle order.No need to make him open.Opening in ODIs is different. If Dhawan fails,KL Rahul should be tried
bowl_out Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^ That way Rohit Sharma would never get to play if we continue with the 6 batsmen combination.... And maniac would be more disappointed than Rohit
SLICKR392 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Rahane is doing well in middle order.No need to make him open.Opening in ODIs is different. If Dhawan fails,KL Rahul should be tried Rahane's a crime at the middle order. Any day over Hackudu's fugly batting though.
bowl_out Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^^ We're talking abt tests... Rahane is proven at No. 5
SLICKR392 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Oh! My bad. He should bat at #4 is Kohli continues to struggle.
CoverDrive Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 so who will get selected as backup opener. Gambhir or Rahul? Rahul has some very timely knocks in Duleep trophy finals to back his case. Gambhir also hit a century in semis and is likely to be selected even with horror england tour that made dhawan seem like a better option.
moniker Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Starting XI will be : Vijay Dhawan Pujara Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jadeja Ashwin BK Shami Ishant What else would you expect from Dhoni? I would't want to see Jadeja in the test squad ever again. Aaron in place of Jadeja, with Ash + 4 seamers is the way to go The XI you have provided is what Dhoni prefers for home matches. Don't remember Dhoni playing two spinners in SA, NZ or Eng. He usually plays 1 spinner + 3 seamers + 1 extra batsman (Rohit "Come to India" Sharma) in away conditions. The one spinner picked has been Jadeja so far. Hope he plays Ashwin in Aus.

That is the combination he has been using lately. 5 bowlers + 6 batsmen.. The fourth test against England, we played Ash, Jadeja + 3 seamers... The fifth test, Ash, Binny + 3 seamers... I wish it was just Ash + 4 seamers (four out of BK, Shami, Ishant, Umesh, Aaron)
mancalledsting Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I Wouldn't play Shami- as his speeds are down- and his line seems to have drifted gradually towards leg side since his debut test series when he was more wicket to wicket
jatinder Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 No jadeja No pankaj Singh no gambhir for test team for tour of australia :hysterical:
