WHO WILL U OPT OUT FOR ROACH? SHITMYER OR SHAMBRIS? SOME WOUNDIANS SAY SHITMYER IS NEXT BATTING GREAT OF THE WORLD. SOME WOUNDIANS SAY SHAMBRIS IS IN GREAT FORM AND U MUST GIVE HIM CHANCE. WOUNDIES HAVE LOT OF TALENT AND DIFFICULT FOR TEAM MANAGEMENT. ROFL

if so then it is really stupid because Roach can do good on this wicket

Holder is a stock bowler worthy of a No.4 in an intl lineup....Bishoo and Warrican wouldnt make the top teams. Roach and Gabriel are your two legitimate strike bowlers and you leave out Roach.

You are gambling your three spin options restrict Kohli and co in their backyard.

Very stupid decision.

 
analyst-kid 2018-10-13 04:30:46 

AS I speak Holder takes Kohli's wicket proving the viability of Roach.

Unless you can argue the spinners have restricted India's runaway scoring

Spinners 37-7-76-1

Pacers 16-2-77-3

This still supports Roach's inclusion.

Was Roach fit mentally and physically?
was he over his jet lag?
We make all these comments without having all the necessary information.

It is a Rumshop big grin big grin


I too would have loved to see Gabriel in Tandem with Roach...

to be fair to some posters...

we can only speculate and then leap to conclusions of our own making. smile


Are you advocating that the coaches and Captains be more forth coming with inside info or should they cater to the fans desire to know everything behind the scenes?


slippery slope...and it can deflate the lads if they are playing under a cloud of....You only get a pick cause somebody else wasnt quite ready to play yet...

the commentators said Roach looked the best in the net and should be playing

 
dayne 2018-10-13 08:12:36 

Roach also is fairly okay lower order batsman, he could have made the amount of runs that either Hetmyer or Ambris made. Who does the Selecting on tours?

In reply to dayne

The Chairman of selectors is in India with the team. Not sure why. Maybe he wants to see their attitude and disposition.

 
DIEHARD 2018-10-13 08:22:30 

In reply to Headley

Maybe he just want a free forking ticket.

Kmt, thats why they don't want to pay the real talent.. They want to make sure they have money for their own globetrotting.

Our test team should not be this weak

 
Baje 2018-10-13 08:40:02 

Roach should have certainly played ahead of Warrica. Who knows, Roach could have done what Yadav didi

 
methodic 2018-10-14 00:42:06 

In reply to Baje

certainly could have, the omission looking more and more terrible

 
analyst-kid 2018-10-14 02:04:10 

The omission looking terrible? Refresh my mind as to the last time WI fielded TWO lone pacers in a Test match?....Against India I know for a fact NEVER.

And don't tell me Hall and Griffith because them had Sobers. Dont tell me Holder and Boyce cause them too had Sobers and Julien. Don't tell me Ambrose and Walsh cause them either had Kenny Benjamin, Franklyn Rose or Merv Dillon.
