With the WTC finals hanging on India beating England 4-0 all these injuries are really coming at the wrong time.
we should have Ishant and Kohli back tho, and both Shaw and Agarwal are different batters on home turf. Hopefully Ashwin will be back to 100%, and Kuldeep should be fine in Indian conditions.

Pace attack is a question - will either Umesh or Shami be available? Bumrah hopefully makes it out of this series in one piece and can lead the attack with Ishant, and Siraj isn't a bad 3rd quick to have.

Might be time to debut Iyer in the middle order.

At this rate, I only hope we have 11 to put up.

Just 2 players lasting the course of 4 tests series must be record of sorts.

Hope I didn't jinx Ajinkya and Pujara there.

We'll beat Eng in India with whatever line-up we choose. This is the big one and I think the guys are prepared to put their bodies on the line for it.

I am fine with Bumrah not playing the England series if Umesh or Shami are fit. Ashwin is needed and Jadeja would be so good to have,

I am guessing right now a bunch of folks will be available for the Ahmedabad leg of the England series. Jaddu, Bumrah etc. We will get Ishant for that series and I guess Virat back. That should help, in theory. If Ash is not ok, he can head back to India too ASAP. We might just end up debuting Sundar out of nowhere here. And with a rather brittle batting line up where Sundar bats at 7, I think it kinda confirms Shardul will debut to bat 8 too.
Sundar is not a test bowler.

Hope 2012 doesn't repeat. After the first test, it looked 4-0 was a formality and came back to bite in the ass

If India want to risk playing Bumrah then things don't look good for him and the team for 2021. He will be squeezed off whatever is left in him in April-May anyway.

Oh and personally I would prefer India to play with 10 men instead of including Shaw if he is the only batsman left. Such a dire attitude he is going through right now.

harsh, mate. The entire post-match discussion has been waged mostly by posters who weren't anywhere to be seen on days 1-4. I mean, if you're going to DQ someone on that basis, there would be about 20 posts in the match thread since lunch day 5.
Hey, it's not like I post a lot during match time either. But if the things that you want to talk about most after that game are Paine-Ash and lol Pant fake injury, something has gone terribly wrong with you and I hope you become better soon.
