On lord's Wicket the slow medium pacer (swingers) like B.Kumar, S.Binni will be not much helpful, India need bouncy bowler with swing and pace like ishant, sami, v.aaron
People stop supporting Rohit. He is a club level IPL player overhyped and overrated. Complete failure in critical condtions.. So sooner we get rid of him better it will be.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain) Virat Kohli Gautam Gambhir (in place of the out-of form, for a while, Dhawan) Rohit Sharma (in place of Rahane) Cheteshwar Pujara Murali Vijay Ravichandran Ashwin (only Spinner; no Jadeja) Ishant Sharma Bhuvneshwar Kumar Mohammed Shami Varun Aaron /Pankaj Singh /Ishwar Pandey (5th bowler is a must in tests).
Lord's helped seamers last time round.(Remember 2011). Both jim'son and broady pegged away at India.
1. I'd play Ashwin alone keep out sir jaddu.. 2. Dhawan is exciting but outta form, play Gambhir(accept reality) 3. If 6 batsman could do it, then play varun aaron for Binny, unless Dhoni requires more cushion at 7.
Ashwin should come in place of Jadeja. Rohit in place of Binny as Binny as a Bowler may not be useful. I would say drop Shikar as well and get Rohit to open. Bring in additional pacer Varun Aaron.
