Your team for Gabba, Brisbane test

In case you drop Karn, do so in a manner which doesn't demoralize him.

[Old guy]

what need to happen with these bowlers is even if they are dropped from first 11 they should be given regular run for 2-3 series unless they look totally out of place specially at home this guy can be tried again and not forgotten because same thing will happen with next layer we try and it has happened to likes of umesh already ... also the very fact he was chosen to play ahead of others should give him boost in confidence and if he is dropped now well that is how team games are ...

GABBA is going to be a Fast wicket and INDIA needs to play ALL 4 fast Bowlers Ishant Umesh AAron Shammi also....as so much energy and time is invested on him- he needs to fetch us the wickets on the fastish pitch. NO change in the Batting order - i mean Rohit to be selected as well. Saha will be replaced by DHONI. Dhoni will need to use murli vijay and Rohit as Spinners... if Rohit is to be replaced than He should be replaced by RAINA...as Raina is a fast scoring machine and a spinner too.. Raina facing 45 balls could easily mean a 50. but Rohit should get one more chance at least. if GABA is fast then play 4 fast bowlers and See what they can do...most responsibility is on ishant and SHammi as they are senior bowlers... Shammi need to bowl all 6 ball on the wicket or outside off- can he manage to do that

^ Fast scoring machine in tests? :hmmmm2:

[bowl_out]

Raina in tests is bad, but at the moment Rohit looks worse... My priority order for No.6 will be : Ashwin / Raina / Rohit

Should give a chance to Raina atleast. He has improved his game a lot. He might do better than Rohit

This. Not sure why we are going by his test performance 2 years ago. He might have improved or might have not. Bu we can only access if we give him a chance.

I don't know man. I just thing Bhuvneshwar and Shami are the best seamers in INdia. Both bowl with more AKAL AKA DIMAAG then some of the other ones and hence I have more faith in them.

Shammi has a run up issue and some times bcos of the run up - his bowling goes towards the LEG- Still ihe is good enuf and we have no choice but to play him aaron and UMESH. AARON,UMESH ,SHammi are all Run giving bowlers but they have good chances of getting wickets. i would go with all three and ISHANT and ROHIT as run restricting bowlers .... Jadeja is a good spinner to restrict runs but i guess on GABBA he may not do too well. aaron umesh and Shammi need to improve and thats our best BET. Ishant is doing a good job now a days.

[brendan07]
