Well we dropped Bairstow and he played no first class cricket for a year and got his place back. Selectors do stupid things.

Agrawal and Rohit. He has very high average in IND. Give him a chance

Vihari deserves a chance at home after jumping on the live grenade at Sydney for the team.

Whoever is picked needs to have a chance of succeeding in England, slim as it's bound to be, a few months from now. Too tight a schedule for a horses-for-courses selection policy.
The rational given by Root was that he's young and he's got time to have a think about things and work on his game, and has got every chance to come back into the set up all the stronger one day.

Tough calls at the top of the order, what with Bairstow being good against spin but vulnerable to the quicks and Crawley being the opposite. I'm quite relaxed about Bess coming back in. He's shown he can take wickets on one of his good days, and if his radar goes AWOL from time to time, Root's a more than adequate alternative. I don't think that four RFM bowlers is a good idea unless our hosts are kind enough to prepare a green top.

Whatever it takes!!!
8 days should be enough time to get Gill back fit, unless there is a fracture. And Mayank is a reasonable replacement anyways.
I am afraid the pitch may become the worst of both worlds if they try to leave too much grass on. I expect a typical Indian wicket now with some grass on it for the pink ball demands but nothing huge. And Ashwin enjoys bounce on the track as much as any other bowler.

First priority is to win this series, Eng series can come much later.

The pitch looks terrible

Mr. Glass
its not about the green top
the pink ball in australia had a pronounced seam that never really softened enough and the ball nipped around throughout
it might not be a totally terrible idea

Yeah I think Indians thrive on bounce these days. Without much swing on offer.
Also I understand Motera at this time doesn't have much dew issues (it's more of a dry heat). First session bowling will be tough with temperatures going near 37 degrees or even higher
