As much as it pains me to say, this is probably a bit harsh on patel. None of the spinners had particularly good games on that track, and if this one is to provide a bit more bounce and turn, it's likely to suit him more. Still probably our best option to go in with three seamers though.

IMO with the team balance the way it is we we were always going to have to make a difficult decision one way or the other. And this is probably the best lineup we could have with the sum of the parts we have right now.

Get a tennis like system for checking no-balls. This should improve the umpiring considerably as the umpires wouldn't have look down and then up all of a sudden.

Great idea.
I think the more technology can take over from the umpires the better.

Pleased with the team for this test, though fairly meh about Guptill in for Watling. Guptill had better bat at 3 btw - none of this BS they've tried lately of turning him into a middle order batsman.
Par for the course is still that we get pummelled by India this match, which will inevitably lead to the slavering talkback hordes and media criticising selection. However I think the side selected here gives us the best chance.
Edit: Only reservation about this bowling attack is that Martin, Arnel and Southee will start to look too similar once the ball's a few overs old if there's not much swing or seam movement to be had.

If Guptill doesn't bat three I'll be seriously pissed off about him being selected ahead of Franklin. Not to mention all the middle order batsmen left back at home.

Don't listen to Shri, Ojha continues to get wickets and he's always AWOL when that happens. WAC

According to Dhoni, the wicket will play as a road.

Haha, as long as he can keep the middle order away from the new ball for 25-30 minutes I'll be happy. I'm not expecting much though, Zaheer will clean him up yet again.

How would this system work given that right now your foot cuts the line.
The only way I can think of it working - is if you make the bowler bowl behind the no ball line.

I think batting 4th against their spinners is a bad idea - so bat first if he wins the toss.
