From what has been said about the force and violence of the crash he is unbelievably lucky to be alive and even luckier for a return to elite sport even being conceivable

I told you guys they were thinking of Kela as the keeper. @Xix2565 should know better than doubt me, tbh.Ishan Kishan Named KL Rahul's Replacement In India's World Test Championship Final Squad; Suryakumar Yadav In Standby List | Cricket News

Daily reminder that KL Rahul was the #1 keeper for his franchise till last year and also kept for us in T20Is.I told you guys they were thinking of Kela as the keeper. @Xix2565 should know better than doubt me, tbh.

I honestly wont have minded that for a one off.
And tbh, Kishan made some runs against SA A in SA. So he has got runs away in A level cricket, so this is not exactly a baseless selection. And if he can be selective about his shot making and tight in his defence, he can actually do well for us. The problem is if we expect him to be another Pant. That is not gonna happen.
I really worry more about young Indian batsmen against spin than I do against pace.

No. A keeper being taken as replacement doesn't mean they were thinking of Kela as keeper when he has never kept in a test or first class match before. With Iyer, Pant etc. all out of the frame, they could even play Kishan as a batsman.I told you guys they were thinking of Kela as the keeper. @Xix2565 should know better than doubt me, tbh.

I think we all know what the more likely thing was. You are just being pedantic here.
I mean no, not really. It's a step too far when they've never thought of KL keeper bat before when people like Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik were getting the gloves while KL was in the side.
Will be watching the IPL game tonight to see how Hazlewood goes (or if he even plays)
Hazlewood will not have played any red ball cricket for 5 months before the WTC Final and so far has only bowled 6 overs in 2 IPL games. On top of that, they only picked 4 pace bowlers so if Hazlewood is not ready there is no spare (or concussion sub).
Why would selectors take such a huge risk?

They've picked 4 pace bowlers + marsh and green, right? 3 pacers start + Lyon and 1 allrounder, if there's a concussion the spare pacer subs in. If theres multiple injuries they just call you neser between games.

This match is a foregone conclusion. Even the rain can't save this Indian/IPL XI.

Australia easily. Conditions suit them more and India are gonna be missing a few key guys to injury.
