Indian Cricket Dhaba

5 is too few. About 8 would be right. As I said in other thread, traditionally the venues that got tests were limited to – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Nagpur, Mohali. Limit to these venues. No point taking tests to Ranchi, Vizag or Indore.

Dharamshala?

 

[ankitj]

Pretty sure Dharamshala has had just 1-2 tests. Do they get much crowds there? I doubt.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah but like the conditions are fun and the ground is nice

 

[harsh.ag]

Dharamshala is the weird one which makes this so difficult. Delhi and Mumbai should definitely be out of the fray imo.

Ahmedabad (Motera), Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Mohali the top 5 probably.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Tough to see Prithvi Shaw getting a look in after this series. No one to blame but himself

Yeah frustrating how he seems to have screwed himself out of a chance for a few years. Pretty amazing how everything seemed to come together at the right time for Rohit.

 

[sunilz]

If Bangladesh cancels the tour , India should play 2 test series amongst themselves.

India A
Shikhar Dhawan
Mayank agrawal
Manish pandey
Virat Kohli (C)
Karun Nair
Shubham Gill
Saha
Ashwin
Kuldeep
Ishant
Umesh

India B
Priyank panchal
Rohit sharma
Pujara
KL Rahul
Rahane (C)
Abhimanyu Easwaran
Pant
Jadeja
Nadeem
Shami
Bhuvneshwar

 

[harsh.ag]

That would be fun

That would be fun

It does happen once a year, right? as India green, India red and India blue. Or is it cancelled now?

Extremely harsh on Vihari

 

[the big bambino]

It would be a good match up if only to see how the Indian bowlers perform against batsmen who would challenge them more so than the tests they've recently played.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The BD players have called off their strike. So most likely they will tour India with their Main team.

 

[duffer]

BCCI pitching the idea of making the Eden Gardens Test a pink ball day nighter.

God I hope the BCB accept the proposal. Prime time Test cricket would be awesome.

 

[Shri]

would be awesome if we suddenly get an insane crowd for the test too

then bcci will act like they invented the concept and have a shitload of day night tests

 

[Daemon]

Smart of India to start playing day nighters against weaker opposition instead of during the tour of Australia

Smart of India to start playing day nighters against weaker opposition instead of during the tour of Australia

Plus doing it at home rather than away

[ankitj]

In less than 6 months, 3 different Indian bowlers have taken hattricks in 3 different international formats.

 

[vcs]

Hattricks in limited overs seem to be getting pretty common. Didn't Malinga pick up 4 in 4 a couple of months back?

 

[ankitj]

Malinga has total of 5 hattricks across formats, of which 2 are double hattricks i.e. 4 in 4. Before him, Akram had 4 hattricks.
