Bigg Brother Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Who is the "one session game changer" for us now???We are doomed..0-5 coming up.
Unleashed Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 My only minor qualm with the team is that maybe they could've picked Kuldeep instead of Jayant considering he is a better bowler other than that, given the injuries they've selected a solid squad. Rahul and Bhuvi should be back in XI when they return back from injury. Rohit seems to be out for a long time(needs surgery) and Dhawan hopefully doesn't get back in the team at all. Gambhir Vijay Pujara Kohli Rahane Ashwin Saha Jadeja Pandya Mishra/Jayant Shami is a pretty solid team with a very good lower order. tweaker 1
rkt.india Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 49 minutes ago, BeautifulGame said: Squad announced for the first two Tests against England. Squad Virat Kohli (capt), R Ashwin, Gautam Gambhir, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Mohammad Shami, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Karun Nair, M Vijay, Umesh Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ishant Sharma, Jayant Yadav Can't understand the call up to Pandya in the test team unless the plan is to play him ahead of Rohit @ 6 and play 5 bowlers (3rd spinner in Mishra) and Pandya as 2nd seamer. Would make no sense really yes, he might be played as 2nd seamer and bat at 6 or 7.
mancalledsting Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Lol at including Pandya- needs to prove himself at the first class level first (has potential though) and gain more experience of the five day game. Test cricket is a format where every deficiency gets magnified to nth degree. Umesh and Shami both provide crucial breakthroughs- must stick with them. Jadeja and Ashwin- givens If you wish to play 5 bowlers- can play Mishra. He can bat a bit too. if wish to play 6 pure batsmen- play karun Nair. Good as time as any to try him.

Lannister Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 With Mishra as the third spinner, I don't see Yadav getting a chance here. Isn't he better off playing Ranji? 12/13 man squad would be sufficient, or is he selected as a net bowler to get ready to face Moeen's world class bowling?
WeStMiDz Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Pandya provides balance and options. Get the feeling he will be a better test bowler than limited overs as batsmen won't necessarily plonk a good length ball into the stands as they do to him in the shorter format. tweaker and sscomp32 2
Bigg Brother Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Everytime Selectors pick 3-4 players who are there to only fill the squad.. sandeep and adi B 2

sourab10forever Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) GG Vijay Pujara Kohli Rahane Saha Ash Jadeja Mishy Shami Ishant/Umesh Should be my starting 11. 17 minutes ago, Asim said: No 7 ODIs this time? Last time we had a 7 ODI series was against aus which eventually turned out to be a 5 match series with 2 matches washed out.. Edited November 2, 2016 by sourab10forever
sourab10forever Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Strong batting lineup... Ash at 6 and mishy at 9. Umesh the night watchman
Forever Indian Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Shami would be first choice pacer. 2nd would be Ishant I think.

Umesh the night watchman Opposition will be thinking Ashwin at 6 is a long tail. But hopefully he continues his good vain of form. England could be in for a shock.

Temujin Khaghan Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 super team... just missing rahul... nothing else to worry about the fact that it is gambhir who replaces rahul and not dhawan is indeed sweet gambhir vijay pujara kohli rahane ashwin saha pandya jadeja mishra bhuveneshwar even if we play shami-bhuvi and 3 spinners with no spot for pandya, our batting is still very decent on home grounds... pujara and vijay need to make it count.. they need daddy centuries.

sandeep Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Pandya is a bold pick, a bit early, but worth a shot. tweaker 1
