without realizing the quality of Indian fast bowlers. It will be in the best interest of India to play two pacers and two spinners. This is a big mistake India did in the first three tests. Raina should come in place of Rahul and he will be a decent addition to the bowling resources as well since he bowls regularly in IPL. Probably,Chappell realizes that batting is a strong point for India and is trying to weaken it by suggesting only five regular batsmen.

hahahaha.. sorry for laughing everyone.. yep, these guys make our day. Suboda Barik in particular..
Yes, Ian is right and the Indian bowlers failed to bowl on length. The media particualrly SS commentary team has failed to point out. unless the bowlers bowl on length they won't take all twenty wickets overseas anymore. Hats off to Ian

I understand your perspective, but do you think, an oldie and a veteran like Ian Chappell has the need to coerce India into poor decision making...
Don't you think, he wanted a little more competitiveness injected into the contest to make it more interesting for all..
