3 wickets Aaron :yess:

[rkt.india]

If he is bowling well, Karn should play first test. He is more likely to take wickets and force batsmen to commit mistakes.

No use playing 4 pacers at patta Adelaide Oval.

Adelide will be a patta....better to go with 6 batsmen which is our strength.....We should not be fooled by teams like S.A who had a Kallis or Aus with Watson .....hell even Matthews and Hafeez can do that role,but on difficult pitches (Spinning and Green tracks) or on flat roads better to always play 6+1+4 combo when you don't have a genuine allrounder.....5 bowler theory only works in certain pitches. Having said that on topic 3 Pacers+atleast one spinner is a must....may be in perth we can take that gamble.

[bowl_out]

243 all out

[bowl_out]

may be in perth we can take that gamble.

No Test at Perth this time :giggle: 7+4 combination makes sense for Adelaide... Ashwin's skill with the bat can also be tested. If he does well, we can try the 6 + 1 + 4 pacers combination at Gabba

Even at MCG.

Shami has also done well. Ishant and BK are certainties. One of Shami and Aaron will play if they play 3 pacers while both have picked wickets in warmups.

[rkt.india]

Dhawan gone.

[rkt.india]

Where is Rahul? Why is he not getting a chance in this match?

[rkt.india]

Soft dismissal for Dhawan. OUT, no run, clipped off the pads straight to forward square leg, sharp chance

[CoverDrive]

familiar story this tour is going to be inability to get the tail out. lack of a good spinner will result in that. Anil Kumble did that well in 2003-4

Shami has also done well. Ishant and BK are certainties. One of Shami and Aaron will play if they play 3 pacers while both have picked wickets in warmups.

I think it would be hard to drop Aaron based on his previous test performances and in these warm up matches. he ay not last the whole tour so better make use of him now. Yadav has the least chance I feel.

Hacker Dhawan is useless but will play for sure :banghead:

It will be disappointing too if Shami had to sit out if he is bowling well.
