Only way this kind of makes sense is if they give Siraj a rest too, Kuldeep has to play

I’d rest Siraj
I’d play Axar as well if he was in the squad
They’ve forgotten that you need to take wickets to win test matches

The overhead conditions as well as the pitch is likely to assist pacers, so Cricinfo thinks Kuldeep, a third spinner, is unlikely. (based on how this team management operates)
I agree Kuldeep is a must but we have been saying this since the first test.
Botham after he stopped playing not while he was.
Broad while he was playing not after he stopped playing.

I really hope they go with 4 specialist bowlers. Their priority, first and foremost, should be taking 20 wickets especially in this final test, which they cannot afford to draw at all.

I don't know why the **** GG is picking a fight with a guy who looks like he ate two of him for brekfast.

I'm really not seeing where the love for Arshdeep is coming from honestly. He's been noted to have similar issues to what Kamboj had last Test in terms of sustaining pace and he's still incredibly new to red ball cricket as shown by his average. Logic suggests he shouldn't play if the objective is to win and not just provide experience.

Yeah nothing makes me think Krishna or Arshdeep are going to do much next test which makes picking them somewhat bizarre as its going to mean the exclusion of kuldeep who is a much more proven Test bowler and is a better bat.

Whatever it takes!!!
I think Kuldeep should come in for Shardul. The other two Deeps for Bumrah and Kambhoj.
Now all said though, if there was an issue in that track/ground that slowed everyone down, I do think we are being rather harsh on Kambhoj. I still wont mark his cards based on one game where even Bumrah was operating a good 10 Ks down on his usual pace.

He was undercooked
Kamboj on his end was coming back from a shin isssue, to be fair. That still doesn't change my view on people assuming Arshdeep is suddenly a better 3rd pacer option than Prasidh.

Forecast doesn't look great. Draw must be favourite. Series win in bag with one more good batting display.

On the other hand, maybe a sketchy forecast means we'll see actual movement off the straight consistently in the Test; if there's one thing we know about modern Test cricket it's that games don't need much time at all to see a result in such circumstances

Broad mentioned about the conditions.
