Did you not see him get spanked in the ODIs? Nothing against Dhawal, he's a hard trier, and deserves to be in the conversation. But comparing Pandya to Dhawal as an allround package is just asinine. Lol I cannot fathom n agree fully that despite seeing this club bowler people R asking for him, he is very very mediocre, what will a trundler bowling at 130 achieve in test, defeats cricket logic, Aaron Aniket, Nathu are ones to watch out for also Good to see Pandya as the two year period should give him enough time n experience n he should be ready at home n in Australia, SA n we could win a series there in my life time tweaker 1 Link to comment

He has good stats. What has Pandya showcased in FC to be selected for such an important test series? did well against Aus A both with bat and ball ad I think Aus A was a better team than any ranji team will find at home.

Not sure why a 4th spinner is required in the squad.. I'd have picked an additional quick (Bhuvi) or batsman (Mukund) England has a lot of left handers, Jayant Yadav is an off spinner. tweaker 1 Link to comment
MCcricket Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 From what I have seen in Ishant Yadav M not impressed, doesn't have a rhythmic action or puts alot of shoulder or turns or bounces the ball, looks more like keeping the runs down kinda player then a test bowler, selectors need to make right call, K Yadav should've been picked instead of Mishra n one more batter needed in the squad Link to comment
express bowling Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) The final 11 should depend on the type of pitch -- Rank turner I would include an added batsman as Ashwin and Jadeja are enough to pick wickets on a rank turner but some added runs may come in handy in a low scoring match Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Nair Ashwin Saha Jadeja Umesh Shami Moderate turner Will require more spin bowling firepower and I will pick Mishra Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Ashwin Saha Jadeja Mishra Umesh Shami Seamer friendly ( like Eden ) Will require the extra fast bowler + batsman and Pandya will be ideal Vijay Gambhir Pujara Kohli Rahane Ashwin Saha Pandya Jadeja Ishant / Umesh Shami Edited November 3, 2016 by express bowling Mosher and tweaker 2 Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Rohit will be out of action for 6-8 weeks. Possibly more if surgey required! Damn. This guy gets injured at the wrong time. No wonder his test career hasn't taken off. He will come back and hit another double century in some meaningleas ODI game and seal his spot for next 1 year. tweaker 1 Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 First test of the series so would not like to take any undue risks. Two seamers, two spinners and Nair in for Rohit for me. tweaker 1 Link to comment

But, will we play both Ashwin and Yadav in the XI? Highly doubt it. We might have Murali Vijay bowl a few to left handers, but not include 2 offies.. On the flipside, there is no "gun bowler" in the squad. Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 On 02/11/2016 at 9:38 PM, laaloo said: I'm a bit baffled by Pandya selection. Either Kohli is strongly pushing for him or he has a uncle somewhere higher up because his FC stats are mediocre at best. Pandya seems an extra special talent and any body who backs extra ordinary talent looks good. Binny' as a bowler was the worst pacer..kinda too.slow. As a batsmen I think both are equally good. But as a bowler n fielder Pandya is better. Specially as a fielder Pandya is 30 percent faster on field ..what I want to say is Pandya will do 10 yards on ground in same time Binny will do 7. As a bowler Pandya is 10 to 12k faster. express bowling and tweaker 2 Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 On his debut game he picked 3 wickets n bowled as fast as umesh yadav... I never saw Pandya so fast...it was too good to believe hat Pandya bowled many balls at 144 145k tweaker and express bowling 2 Link to comment

We did play bhajji n ashwin to in Bang n 1st test of SL. Karun nair also keeps bowling regularly in domestic n A-games tweaker 1 Link to comment
