Our neighbours are very susceptible against genuine pace. We should bring in Aaron for the Bangladesh test.

Naah.Enough rest till february.He can break a few heads after that.

[Forever Indian]

My lineup for Bangles would be:

Vijay

Rahul

Pujara

Kohli

Nair

Saha

Ashwin

Jayant

Jadeja

Shami

Bhuvi/Umesh

No. I play Bhuvi. I want to take wickets and win the game. Umesh bowls too many dot balls. I want dot balls and wickets both and win the game comprehensively. Bhuvi is going to take fifer in that game and then we are going to roll over them.

I am tired of their talk since India-Bangla world cup 2015 game. They have gone crazy.

 

They haven't learnt any lesson since that last ball Dhoni run out earlier this year. We need to HUMBLE them big time in that test match. I say bat first and put on 800 runs.

I will use the Bangladesh test to try out a few new  players without weakening our core team

 

1) Rahul

2) Vijay

3) Pujara

4) Kohli

5) Nair

6) Pant

7) Ashwin

8) Jadeja

9) Kuldeep

10) Shardul

11) Aaron / Nathu  ( whoever is fit )

LOL! Whole team put together struggled to score 300 when we visited England. 300 or 700+ in Indian conditions doesn't mean our batsmen  wont struggle again

2018 tour of England will be different.

To solve this problem......our team will play a lot of football till the time one batsman gets temporarily injured       

 

Like a musical chair.

Best solution so far...

 Only reason we are winning is Ashwin and to some extent Jaddu. Make a pitch to take Ashwin out of equation and this solid batting line will start cranking by the end of first test match.

I am happy this puts rohit sharma out India test match squad. He is too inconsistent.

Good selection conundrum

also pressure back on Pujara too

[tweaker]

Also what about Jayant ,whohas a 100 in his last inning

Jayant will replace Mishra, in test matches in India,  when he is fit.

Next test match will be against Bangladesh. Considering they have few decent spinners (definitely better than Eng) we need batsman who plays spin well. Nair seems to be a better player of spin than Rahane...so I would drop Rahane for Bangla test. Will bring him back against Australia though as he is more equipped to handle Starc & co.

 

My test team for Bangla game:

 

Murali Vijay

Lokesh Rahul

Che Pujara

Virat Kohli

Karun Nair

Parthiv Patel

Ravi Ashwin

Jayant Yadav

Ravi Jadeja

Mohammed Shami

Umesh Yadav / Ishant Sharma

 

[Soorma_Bhopali]

Pragyan Ojha took 10-fer in his last test in Mumbai 2013 (Sachin's farewell test) and still left out of touring party for SA tour . Karun has definitely upstaged Rohit Sharma for the test team but would have to sit out once Rahane becomes available.

Eh?? Ojha was a chucker and BCCI is no PCB to let fixers/chuckers play for national team.

[BeautifulGame]

For now Karun Nair deserves to keep his spot regardless of whereas Rahane or Rohit is fit .

I would go with 6 batsmen against Bangladesh to see how to goes .

Vijay

Rahul

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

Nair

Pant

Ashwin

Jadeja

Shami

Bhuvi/ Yadav / Ishant

But if we want to play 5 bowlers then , Rahane had to sit on the sidelines for the time being .

Anyway with our regular fitness crisis one of this lot will get injured anyway and will make the arguement redundant .

Just happy this means no more Rohit torcher in test cricket .Just hope selectors see the same way.

[Forever Indian]

Nair's real test will come overseas. He went missing in India A's tour of Australia A recently averaging 9.5.

 

Any talks of permanently replacing Rahane in tests are extremely premature untill he can prove he is a bigger match winner overseas. 

 

Almost anyone we play in the XI will score at home, but if we are to be worthy of no. 1 we need to identify players who score for us overseas

Pressure on pujara really. He is the second best batsman for us in this series.
