Are you serious?  And didn't Dhawal's 10-fer come at Lahli? where all teams are getting out cheaply?  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

Ashwin

Saha

Pandya/Bhuvi

Jadeja/Mishra

Long tail. We will need 6 specialist batsmen + 2 bowling all-rounders against this English side.

Bhuvi is not in the squad.

If the choice was between Binny and Pandya, then that must mean that we are in deep doo doo. 

What other option do you think we have for an allrounder ?

What is the problem? Yeah I'm not going to say oh look at Jadeja he has 3 triple centuries in FC. 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.

I'm surprised with Jayant Yadav's inclusion as well.. We already have Ash, Jaddu, Mishra.. 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.

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

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

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.

Will graeme swann be part of the commentary team? Would be fun to listen 

The same Graeme Swann that thinks Jadeja doesn't spin the ball? I'd rather not listen to his nonsense.

England has a lot of left handers, Jayant Yadav is an off spinner.

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.

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.

Why not if we decide to go with 3 spinners he migh play . 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

Pitch should start spinning since Day 1 

 

This would be deadly. Ash-Jaddu-Mishra

Match in Rajkot.. Expect a rank turner
