Make or Break Test match

For 1) Karthik We will surely have reserve keeper, its between him and parthiv. Tomorrow is his day of reckoning. He needs to score tomorrow and book his seat for Australia. 2) Ishant Sharma With Munaf not donig well, he has opportunity of his life time, if he managed impresses he has chance to book his ticket 3) Pathan He is only allrounder we have, so he may get into the 16 for Australia. But decent performance here he will find his place in playing XI

Pathan must have sealed his spot to Australia. Openers ---------- Jaffer Chopra (?) MO ---- SRT Ganguly RD Laxman Yuvi Bowlers --------- Zaheer RP Munaf (?) Ishant (?) Pathan Spinners ---------- Kumble Bhajji Kartik (?) WK ---- Dhoni Karthik or Parthiv (Both can double up as opener)

ikp opened test inn once and got 90+ against SL with muralitharan, but thats academic i suppose. what abt ikp bowling...hows he lookin? Test bowler yes/no???

[kabira]

has bowled well, should have got Hameed. he is bowling straight

[fineleg]

i would say ikp bowling so-so...if not for his batting he wont make it as a Test bowler currently. His bowling is good in 2020 and maybe odis... But, because he is batting well, and bowling not-so-bad at 130kph, and atleast wicket-to-wicket accuracy - he may get picked in the 11. The big swing which makes him deadly is not so evident.

[kabira]

watch him reverse swing.
