True, but can you really see Srinath being a threat to AT teams? I'd take Kumble and either Bedi or Harbhajan over any of the third seamer options India has. At least in an away side.
It is not about the batsmen or the players. It is about the conditions. By home and away, they mean spin and pace. Playing 4 pacers in a completely spin friendly pitch just because they are your best 4 ATG bowlers will not be a smart move. ATG team needs to be ATG smart too.
So long as it still keeps Siddle way ahead of Lillee I’m sure everyone will agree it’s great.
That’s all well and good but if someone is being routinely left out of normal side in foreign conditions then he has no business being selected in an ATG side.
Current bowling lineup of Bumrah Shami Ash and Jaddu will definitely take over the ATG team bowling spots by the time they retire. No Indian team has dominated in bowling as much as this one.
It's about the pace bowlers - the batting order is fine either way.
Yes. Gavaskar, Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Kohli, Dhoni, Kapil, Jadeja, Bumrah - all 9 are locks/ will be locks. Remaining 2 positions are for Ashwin, Bedi, Shami, Srinath or Zaheer.
That doesn't matter. Noone is taking him in a away ATG team anyways.
Not that I don't like him but Bumrah has played a total of 12 tests, really needs ~30 at least before we start putting him in there.
Top averages for Asian batsmen outside Asia (with at least 1000 runs) are:
Miller (averages 40 & 20) surely gets into the home XI.
