Road to India in Australia 2024-25

[GirthQuake]

It's Akashdeep if Shami is not available. Kuldeep Sen is also a worthy gamble.

Lots of deeps sloshing around.

Couple of Delhi boys also in reckoning or going to be in reckoning - Himanshu and Harshit. Both should travel with India A to AUS especially with Gambhir as coach. Too soon for Mayank but hoping his time comes soon.

Kuldeep Sen is also a worthy gamble

Absolutely not lol.

Per Dan Brettig, the Tests will be at Perth, Adelaide (D/N), Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in that order.

Nice of the ICC to let us know well in advance where we will be playing our home tests this summer.

I am very worried we will lose this series.


But then I see your batting, and I have hope again.

Aus to win 2-1

Bumrah 24 wickets and Cummins 22 wickets.

 

[R!TTER]

Besides if a batting position opens up for the aus tests I'd want jurel to play ahead of Sarfaraz

Jurel should start ahead of Pants, Pant tbf could play as a batter. Jurel did great in that Eng series & he should ideally be persisted with.

Kinda expect all 5 tests to have results unless rain intervenes.

Wouldn't be surprised if we got whitewashed and I also wouldn't be surprised if we won the series. Don't really know how to gauge the strengths of the two teams right now.

I hope we play Kuldeep at some stage in this series. He's going to have to take over from Ashwin jadeja eventually so he should be given a long run in the side to maintain that momentum from the England series.

A lot will depend on whether Marnus comes good tbh. If he makes some runs it will go a long way to stabilizing the batting. Said previously we need a Shield opener to knock down the door so Smith can go back to four imo.

Yea on one hand it’s Aus in Aus and on the other they dropped a game to WI

 

[GirthQuake]

Play Akash Deep ahead of Siraj who's been coasting on fumes for too long. 3 quicks, Jadeja the fluffer, and Kuldeep Yadav the attack spin option. Pointless to bother with 4 quicks or playing duds like Shardul for mythical batting depth.

How about the best Indian bowler on the last tour… Ashwin

 

[Xix2565]

The bowling attack should be Bumrah/Shami/Siraj/Ashwin/Jadeja with maybe one more pacer instead of a middle order batter. Frauds asking for Ashwin to be dropped should be dropkicked into the ocean.

Ashwin the hometown bully should dropped. Maybe he should drop himself in the ocean knowing he'll never measure up to Lyon.

 

[GirthQuake]

Fat Ashwin is 38 with an embarrassing average of 42 in Australia. Cannot move, cannot bowl. What an embarrassment.

Wish him luck as a 3rd rate Youtuber.

I'm OK with rotating him and Kuldeep.

He can wait in the long line after you.

I understand that sometimes Test cricket is boring to watch but you really cannot post this while also claiming to be someone who watches the game. Either you know this sort of thing is nonsense or you just want to lie and make up fantasies. Which is it?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Well technically he's right on almost all counts there other than the weight bit. Ashwin is skinny fat, not outright fat.

Ok will join queue to ocean.

 

[GirthQuake]

I don't care if you choose to stay emotionally invested in fat Ashwin but let's spare the forum of your violent drowning fantasies.

Oh no. Are you going to nuance the hell out of Ashwin's embarrassing record in AUS? Even the TM of India smells the coffee and drop Ashwin in half the matches played in SENA. Just look up the record in last 5 years.
