*Official* 4th Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, 4 - 8 Mar 2021

Jadeja will replace Washi?And overseas, Pandya can replace Jadeja and bat at 7.

Is Pandya bowling anymore?

He'd be handy in England with the ball , but if not then absolutely no point whatsoever.

 

[ankitj]

Even in England, we can go with 3 pacers and 2 spinners. When 2 spinners are Ashwin and Jadeja, we are not compromising batting either.

Pant a significant step up on Saha with the bat too.

Pant played in England

And yet we went with just 1 spinner? Weird. Probably didn't really rate his batting abilities back then.

 

[honestbharani]

What's gone is gone. Hopefully we play the best 3 seamers + Ash and Jaddu and Pant from now on overseas.

Yeah that is fair, Jadeja is a genuinely proper test batsman right now while Ashwin is slowly turning it around with the bat.

The obvious issue is India have only fast bowler who can bat and he is binned from tests.

We had Pandya

 

[Arachnodouche]

Jadeja's grown too much in stature as a cricketer to be dropped now. Expect him to play whenever fit.

 

[Daemon]

Foakes gloves are huge

 

[Shri]

why the **** is vada pav batting so slow ffs

 

[honestbharani]

Nitin Menon has been excellent this series. Some really good umpiring in very tough conditions.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Stokes and Anderson are looking so good with the ball, I think this would have been a different ball game had England gone with 2 seamers.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pujara doesn't look like the same guy who ate spinners for breakfast a few years ago. Very good bowling from England today.

 

[cnerd123]

good decision that. Che Pu

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pujara pottering around like a geriatric all series.

This has been an impressive Test match wicket though. Something for every discipline involved.

Like I said. We just don't give enough credit but this is a bit of a masterclass of umpiring in turning conditions.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shane Watson review that.

 

[cnerd123]

maybe an IPL stint would do Che Pu some good after all. Feels like he's stuck in a bit of a rut
