Pandya as a bowler is useless in Tests aussies will toik toik him  He didn't even do that well with Bat.. Ishant although he is bad rather have him than pandya for next test and hoping shami will return for 3rd Test. 

 

That batting order is still looking weak 

 

Rahane needs  rest... Nair is Good option can't risk losing 2nd Test here.

 

Hope kuldeep gets a game but very unlikely 

 

 

Ishant has played some 70 odd test ,why can't we blood some young players .Pandya is in the squad for the 2 test so he has realistic chance to play in the 2nd test.

Rahane,Rahul,Saha need to go out

yeah drop your highest run getter in the match.

Well there may be a case for including Jayant of a flattish track. His bowling style could be more suited to such conditions.  
However, watching him gives me the impression that the Australians are rightly considering him the weak link. The problem gets aggravated when he leaks 4-5 rpo and takes away all pressure. I would certainly drop him. His bowling just seems too innocuous. 

 

I'll get in Karun in place of Jayant to reinforce the batting and that would be the only change with the squad we have got. The batting line up looks very short especially when we have had two consecutive batting failures. Also, the quality of Aus pacers is way better that England or NZ in these conditions. They have got someone like Starc who can bowl 147+ and can dismiss top order players with some unplayable deliveries like he did Pujara in the first innings. On a flat wicket, I'd expect Kohli to utilize Ishant more sensibly than just 3 overs in 90 odd overs. Jayant is definitely not needed when we have already got Jadeja and Ashwin who can bowl long spells in these conditions. I'd go with a seam bowling all-rounder while playing overseas. Playing Ashwin, Saha and Jayant as lower-middle order batsmen would work against weaker bowling attacks but not in this series. 

 

Also, if Rahane continues to fail again, I would look for some other options. However, I don't think we have such options if we decide to play an extra batter already with Karun in the side.

If its rank turner then:

Kuldeep for jayant 

Nair for Ishant

If its flat:

Kuldeep for jayant

Hardik Pandya for Ishant(For lack of choice in squad honestly).Bhuvi might also do no worse.

Why only 6 changes....change the entire team .....bring in the domestic lejunds like Vinay Kumar       

 

The Aussies will be so shell-shocked,  they will lose.       

[King Tendulkar]

 Yes we number one and destroyed all before us over last 2 years . But we just lost a match , that is not allowed to happen

 

not sure 6 changes is enough . We need to start looking at stats more . Vinay and dinda to open the bowling . Also jadeja has 3 triple tons and 50 average in first class cricket , he should open the batting

Not a bad idea.  Australia done their homework this time.Vinay Kumar would come out of syllabus in their test. Make as many changes as possible.

Parthiv cant keep. The 60 odd he makes doesnt compensate for his keeping and dropped catches and missed stumpings.

Under weaker opposition teams a full flagged expert keeper saha can be played but against okeefe left arm this guy called saha looked like a goat in front of a lion.

Every ball he looked as getting out.

Parthiv has solid defence ,can play left arm spin better ,can even open ,he has always scored when he is recalled and has the capability to play starc and okeef both.

This is SOS  situation.

During SOS situation we should play with 3 spinners and umesh or add pandya too.

We can't play 5 bowlers for sure and we can't play a keeper who looks unsettled.

I would definitely play parthiv as he is a solid bat and expect parthiv to keep well.

 

If the track is greenish starc will become a Demon and if it turns okeefe will become a cobra. 

 

Weak heart and weak technique batsman will fail big way.

For me we should play 

Pandya umesh kuldeep jaddu ash

Vijay rahul pujara kohli Nair parthiv

[vayuu1]

To be honest, seeing aus has a plan for each bowlerwhy not go for some different tactics, I would open with parthiv and rahane likes pace who knows might not be a bad idea, can settle before spinners come , play pujara, Kohli at their respective no,play Nair at 5,iyer at 6,pandya at 7 coz he can attack the spinners, Ashwin at 8,jaddu at 9,kuldeep at 10 and yadav the Jack .

What if Australia open with spinner at one end? Better yet with freaking Stephen O Keefe. 

[Deleted_User_1]

Make Jharkhandi the kaptaan and we can go back winning again!

They may but with new ball might not turn as much, and please stop making a legend out of Steven o Keefe, guy had a great match on turner, play him as a inswing bowler will help nullify him, I am sure kumble would have had a chat with lads.
