Looks Like No Umesh For 2nd Test Too

[sensible-indian]

MS Dhoni comes back into the team, while R Ashwin is a likely inclusion ahead of Karn Sharma - India's pace attack is set to be unchanged.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2014-15/content/story/810625.html Usually cricinfo reporters get to see the trends during practice sessions and by and large they are spot on. If this is true, I am so sick of the team management. In what world is Shami better than Umesh as a Test bowler. :(( ODIs are different.

[Cricket_Hacker]

Umesh should go back home and look for another profession.

[sensible-indian]

Shami has been garbage from the England series. He will pick 2-3 wickets in an innings in the bowler friendly Brisbane track and everything will look fine. Fact is his line and length is woeful. Bouncers embarrassingly pathetic. New ball swing skills hardly present. Maybe he has technical issues now but looks like a mediocre bowler.

I've been telling you guys throughout last week... Umesh hails from Nagpur, Shashank Mnohar's home town... Till Srini and his henchman Dhobi are in control, UY will find it difficult to get a regular place in the team... He'll get selected in LOIs where he'll go for runs thus allowing Dhobi to justify his actions... It has happened so many times in the past, I thought you guys will pretty much know the situation... That's why I'm pi$$ed off at SC in dragging the Srini case for so long...

Umesh wont play I guess, Dhoni will use the same excuse of giving a decent run to shami and that dropping him would be unfair and blah blah!!

[ThePhenomenal1]

oh wonderful, what an injustice. your best available test bowler on the friggin bench I always believe the cream rises to the top. thats why aaron, umesh and shami look to be in the world cup squad. But... how is shami better than umesh? WHY WOULD YOU NOT PLAY A GUY WHO TOOK WICKETS HERE LAST TIME? FFS I DONT GET IT.

Even If I buy this conspiracy theory. Why would we he be selected in the first place. According to past events Srini also controls selection.Srini might be a bad man but not that bad to destroy a career of a fast bowler.

That's how Shakuni works:((

[JaFanatic]

I hope not! it will be ******* ridiculous if its true

[KFC_Zinger]

Don't believe in Srini conspiracy, I think Dhoni is just hell bent on playing line and length bowlers over pacers

[Lord]

Kohli didnt play him either,had hopes from him atleast

[wanted_desi]

Shami has been crap for last 3-4 tours oversea, can't believe how chances isn't given to Umesh who did so good on bouncy pitches last time.

[kosingh]

Doesn't really matter. Yadav or his alternative are equally bad.

[Vilander]

Warner 150, 180 coming up. No Bhuv no Yadav there is no check on Warners weakness then.

[coffee_rules]

There is talk about 4 pacers and Ashwin and drop lazy. That would be welcome too.

[Crookbond]

Kohli didnt play him either' date='had hopes from him atleast [/quote'] There's a deeper message there - Umesh might not be bowling well in the nets or there might be some other reason.

:cantstop::cantstop: kya story he... let me know when plot thickens even more. What if Umesh get picked? will there be another twist? :--D

[Lord]

That can hardly be the reason when he had a good home series vs SL and other pacers are struggling anyway

[Ultimate_Game]

Umesh needs to play in place of Aaron. And Ashwin or Jaddu should replace Karn Sharma.

[sensible-indian]

THANK GOD. Harsha's tweet: The three changes confirmed. Dhoni for Saha, Ashwin for Karn, Yadav for Shami.
