Bhuvi 

Shami

 

This is one hell of a linenup.

 

I am resting Vijay for Bangladesh game to see how and what's the deal with Rishab Pant.

 

 

 

 

Pant isn't an opener. No keeper opens in tests.

Pappu does and did well too

[Yoda-esque]

Good on Karun, but in all fairness..he will be exposed on bouncy pitches.

Won't do if he plays regularly.

Couple of 60s on Indian pitches doesn't mean much in larger context though .

Even yesterday ,he got out to a tired shot when 100 was for the taking .You simpy can't really afford something like that from your openers .

Why drop Vijay? He has 2 centuries this series and has been our one of our best bats overseas as well.

Ticz mind works one way. If from naarth of vindhyas (esp dilli punjb), some extended support like for gambhir or amit mishra. Else easy suggestions to drop. Wayz of cricketicz   @Cricketics

How do you also a drop a player who averaged 80+ in his last series or a Player who has got 100's in every condition?

For Next tour of Aus/  NZ / Eng/ SA

Vijay

Rahul/ Dhawan...

Pujara/ Rahul

Kohli

Rahane

Karun

Parthiv/ Saha/ Naman Ojha

Ashwin/ Jadeja/ leg spinner/ Jayant

Shami

Umesh/ Bhuvi/ Ishant

Another upcoming fast bowler.

 

 If Karun fails, readjust with Rahul or upcoming left handed batsmen.  Karun should atleast deserve to play 10 tests based in his performance today to let him settle down.

We need a squad of 18 given injury problems. Build the squad of 18 and automatic rotation will happen due to form and injury, and Away tour skills.

The reason for that being?

[vvvslaxman]

In one dayers we did drop Manoj Tiwary right ? after a 100? don't recall. Also did the same to Kaif though i don't regret that.

[BeautifulGame]

Yeah Tiwary was dropped straight after scoring 100 .

Can't remember doing it with Kaif.

The best thing is to build a pool of 8-10 batsmen and rotate, so no one burns out

We already have fantastic pool of batsmen:

 

Kohli

Vijay

Rahul

Rahane

Dhawan

Nair

Pujara

Pandey

Rohit

 

All rounders:

 

Ashwin

Jayant

Jadeja

Pandya

 

Backup batsmen (if all above fails):

 

Gambhir

Pant

Kedar

Mukund

Yuvraj

Raina

Samson

Rayudu

 

 

What we need is good pool of fast bowlers which we are lacking.

Your back up batsmen need to be considered looking at the future, not the past.. 

Only Mukund and Pant qualify from your list.. Maybe Samson, no one else...

 

With Rohit and Dhawan being shaky in Tests, I'd replace them with Mukund, Samson and Pant over time... so we have a pool of 10 batsmen from which we play 6-7 every tour.. play 5 out of the 7 in the XI... so no one's place in taken for granted, and no one burns out

Cant drop Nair, seeing how frequently rahul n vijay have been getting injured for an year now i feel their injuries will give Nair more time. 

If not well the tough call might come down to Nair vs Jayant ( in which case Nair can come ahead as we would be needing him in overseas more than Jayant. So giving Nair Exp of test cricket might come in Handy. Nair can also bowl a few over and if being encouraged he could work on it more.)

 

Cant drop Rahane and shouldnt even , he is in diff class and has scored runs everywhere may be not with consistency but he will keep getting better. 

 

In all fairness this competition can be really good news for Indian cricket. As all of them will try to bring more value to team. Rahane brings in as slip fielder, Nair will have to try to bowl more overs to fill the void of 5th bowler in some scenarios.

Rahane and Rohit career over.. Lol karun 300 does it.

Nair could become India's Brad Hodge.

Three players which can not be dropped.. NEVER for a long time - RAHANE- PUJARA - KOHLI.

 

I am going to give them a long rope, regardless of how many times they fail in the next 10 games. They have done enough after the fab 4/5 retired.
