2 1/2 Bowlers that India plays with. Two spinners and Umesh who can bowl only when the ball gets old. Ishant sharma has been a mere passenger for a decade. Just an up and down bowler who celebrates the odd wicket he may get in a test as if he got a five wicket haul. TO add insult to injury he is pathetic on the field and with the bat. And he has been around since 2007.
Absolutely SG is spot on, especially when none of our spin bowlers are extraordinary and the pitch is not assisting fast bowlers a third spinner is far more better option than picking up an extra batsman.
ACTUALLY IN MORING SESSION WHILE BALL IS HARD KOHALI REQUIRE TO BOWL ASHWIN 10/12 OVER ALONTH WITH JADEJA MAKE BIG DIFFERENCE 5TH BOWLER IS NOT OUR SUBJECT DO SELECTOR HIS JOB
According to Kohli the ball was not turning as it became soft and hence the spinners (Ashwin ??) failed. If the ball turning soft is going to be feature, what will the 5th bowler do ?
4 Bowlers were picked to ensure a good score. This was achieved. Now that we could not get the Aussies out with 4 Bowlers, we say we should have picked 5 bowlers!!!
BUVNESHWAR KUMAR SHOULD REPLACE ISHANT SHARMA IN NEXT TEST. ISHANT IS GOOD FOR NOTHING. SECONDLY AMIT MISHRA AS FIFTH BOWLER IN TEAM INDIA CAN BE VERY GOOD AS HIS BALL TURNS VERY WELL ON THESE PITCHES.
