No county squad will probably want them' date=' and these guys certainly won't want to play either.[/quote'] Such Indian players mentioned in the OP attract crowds so a County side wouldn't deny a contract. Pujara needs to spend more time in these counties.

Kohli. In the England tour, the guy couldn't play swing to save his life! He seems comfortable with bounce, but has escaped so far in Aus as there hasn't been much swing.

Couple of things and india could have beaten this weak Aus team Despite stupid umpiring howlers and despite only 3 batsmen contributing among 11 players, and despite some wayward bowling to top order like Warner, India did get top order (first 5 aus wickets) quite alright. 1. If we had batted better against spin, Nathan Lyon And 2. Bowled better to aus lower order allrounders (i dont call them "tail") India could have won this Test series had we done these two right (and taking catches yes).

How many runs scored (total) for fall of first 5 Aus wickets, and total runs for fall of last 5 Aus wickets (or after first 5, if declaration) - in this series thus far?

No one will pick them
Division Two teams would certainly pick up all of these players if they have done their research. All three have the ability to add great value to a team in all formats.

Which batsmen/bowlers should strive for an extended (few months) long England county stint? - ChePu - Aaron - U Yadav - M Vijay (get even better and hone the fine skills) - Dhawan (he prolly will choose to hack in ipl over england county) - Rahane/Kohli (it will help them hone in seaming conditions) - Bhuvi?? (Maybe he doesnt need it as much)
Still living in the 90's :haha: No one cares about county cricket anymore India is the new hub of cricket.

What specifically is the point of giving our bowlers county stints? Our bowling struggles are on flat tracks...where good line and lengths, and some variation are needed. And our bowling struggles are against tailenders...where bowling at the stumps is often the most fundamental tactic. In any case, by all accounts we've already changed our indian wickets into more green tracks in the last couple of years. And there's been a growing realization that this may have been counter productive. Might make a case for Kohli and Pujara to get a county stint. And county stint or not, I'm not sure Dhawan is going to be considered for much longer in the test format.

Should be able to win at least 1 out of these 2 series.

We could have won the first test but then we got close only because Australia declared in both innings. As long as we have bowling incapable of taking 20 wickets, we don't deserve to win.
