| ![]() The wicketkeeping cupboard remains bare, considering it was Saha and Ojha fighting for a spot not a long time ago. However, Saha is not that bad. He kept and batted really well in the NZ series. Last edited by Eddy : 14th November 2016 at 14:33. |

| ![]() I just hope Gambhir doesn't come up with a century or high score(s) in the second test and retains his place .. this may end up blocking KL Rahul's place (he is expected to be in the team for the third test). |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() If that happens, and I were in the selection panel for the final XI, I would put Rahul in place of Saha and ask him to do wicket keeping duties too. It may be too much for him to keep wickets in the long format and bat too but It is an experiment worth doing IMO |

| ![]() SA was too good. Aus batting is really fragile, an unit having only 3 big names- Warner, Khawaja and Smith. Nevill always seems to run out of partners quickly when he settles and bats with the tail. Voges needs to be dropped, Bailey should be called up. With due respect, most of the runs scored by Voges has been against WI and NZ. Quote:
I think Mishra might make way for Rahul. Gambhir may play at no.3. All depends on the nature of the pitch. | |

If we had made Rahul Dravid keep wickets in tests, he wouldn't be half as good a batsman as he was. | |

This is an interesting suggestion. I just hope KL Rahul has fully recovered, he's only played 1 domestic game since recovering from injury. Gambhir really must be ruing himself for not getting big runs in the 1st test. | |

| ![]() I don't think we need three spinners at Vizag. It will turn from day 0. Much better going in with an extra batter. |

![]() finally India Manage 455. Although less than what they could have, it still is a good score. England 8/1 at present. This match will give a result I feel, hopefully in favour of India. but let's see how things pan out. | |

| ![]() 80 / 4 with both Cook and Root back in the pavilion. Ali and Stokes are the key now for England to remain in contention in this match. |
