Great news.....also having x factor along with the "K" factor seems to be benefiting Rahul immensely  under Kumble(K does not stand for Kohli or Kumble-take a guess )but  awesome  for the team so will leave it at that

^ K-umble will go to great lengths for K-arnataka players?

 

KLR is a good bat, its just one innings, he will come good.

Looks like Gambhir will play in the Ranji trophy match for delhi. Good news

It is two now. KLR is batting these days more like a T20 basher/slogger..

[CommonMan]

Bhuvi Koomar added to the squad

Team : Virat (Capt), Rahane, Rahul, Vijay, Pujara, K Nair, Saha (WK), Ashwin, Jadeja, Jayant, Mishra, Shami, Umesh, Ishant, Bhuvi, Hardik

[fineleg]

Will Jayant Yadav play at Mohali or BK? 3 seamers or 3 spinners at Mohali.

Pitch report awaited.

Thank god shikhar dhawan didnt get a free spot

no surprises for the team...
pitch is more important...if england can come back in series then its mohali

[tweaker]

Ovrall a good squad 

[sourab10forever]

Poor guy.

Tests career over? I certainly think so...

[philcric]

Looks like a few ICFers aren't too happy with India's 250+ run win in the last test.

 

 

[philcric]

May be Mishra should have have been dropped and Kuldeep picked. Otherwise good predictable squad.

 

[CommonMan]

Parthiv Patel replaces Saha.. hmm..

Has always done well in the last 5-6 seasons. Issues are: how will he handle short balls outside off and his keeping.

[sandeep]

Test XI for Mohali?

Murli

Rahul

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

Parthiv

Ashwin

Jayant

Jadeja

Umesh/Bhuvi

Shami

 

Really torn about Umesh vs Bhuvi.  Tough call there.  Rest is automatic.  Unless Mohali is miraculously a seamer's paradise, which is unlikely.  In that case drop Jayant and play both.  

 

England's best XI ?

 

Cook

Hameed

Root

Bairstow

Ali

Stokes

Buttler (Make him keep all the time, or after 5 wickets down)

Woakes

Rashid

Finn/Broad

Anderson

 

If Broad is fit, that would be England's best foot forward - and a quality opposition for India to handle.

Not sure if Papppu should bat ahead of Ashwin or Jayant.

Ram is making.
