whoops, misread that, thought you were talking about Sharma and Zaheer.Shami shouldn't be in the lineup?
Why not Shami? I'd drop both Sharma and Zaheer and bring in two of Yadav/Bhuvi/Pankaj Singhcan't fault the commitment, but neither bowler should be in the lineup IMO.
Honestly, I think they have the players to win overseas, they just don't select them.Simple, stop playing every home Test on square turners, playing so many ODI's on wickets where 350 is a minimum, and having 2 test series overseas rather than 3 test series. Until India do that, they will continue to fail miserably overseas.
Don't know about Bhuveneshwar. I know pace isn't everything, but at 125k, don't see him being too effective in tests.Honestly, I think they have the players to win overseas, they just don't select them.
It took them at least a year too long to sack Sehwag and Tendulkar, and the players that they've got in have performed both at home and overseas. Bhuvneshwar, Umesh are as promising young bowlers as most countries have in the world barring Australia. And Ojha is the type of spinner that could do well overseas.
3 simple selections could make a big difference IMO.
He'd be at least as successful as Zak is now, who's bowling at the same pace.Don't know about Bhuveneshwar. I know pace isn't everything, but at 125k, don't see him being too effective in tests.
He doesn't bowl at 125ks.Don't know about Bhuveneshwar. I know pace isn't everything, but at 125k, don't see him being too effective in tests.
We've actually got quite a few waiting. I don't know if they'll be good or Ishant, but I definitely see promise in Bhuvi, Yadav, Pandey , Pankaj Singh, etc. Not o mention Ojha should come in for Jadeja.Who else have India got?
Probably. But let's pick him firstDon't know about Bhuveneshwar. I know pace isn't everything, but at 125k, don't see him being too effective in tests..
Pardon me, 129ks.He doesn't bowl at 125ks.
130Pardon me, 129ks.
Is it true that Pankaj doesn't get selected due to him being from Rajistan? If that's the case, then the BCCI are a disgrace. Have gotten way to big for their boots.We've actually got quite a few waiting. I don't know if they'll be good or Ishant, but I definitely see promise in Bhuvi, Yadav, Pandey , Pankaj Singh, etc. Not o mention Ojha should come in for Jadeja.
