One thing common between the two is that they both are world cup knock out chokers.

Interestingly, the trio of Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep have taken 18 wickets between them at 24.94 in the last trip down under. Lyon took 21 wickets at 30.42 during the same series. He was indeed out bowled.

This is worth looking into, too. Are we expecting the same batting line-up from the NZ tour? Jadeja at 6 is one slot too high for comfort, but realistically speaking, how much less effective is he going to be than say Vihari (or either of Rohit/Rahul)? The bulk of the runs are going to have to be scored by the top 5 anyway, and it's always going to the bowling that gives us a chance at competing in Aus. Think it's worth the gamble of potentially weakening the batting for an extra bowler.

Whatever it takes!!!
Its not that straight forward. With only 4 bowlers and 1 of them being rather ineffective, given it will be Ash/Jaddu, it also places a lot of demand on the seamers and their workloads. Sacrificing batting for more potent fast bowling is how this should be looked at.

Pant is perfectly fine as a #6 tbh. If we do go with two spinners, I expect Jaddu to bat 7 and Ash to bat 8 and both are totally capable of playing test cricket at those numbers as far as batting goes.

Exactly. On flat Australian drop-in pitches, we need 5 bowling options more than lower-order batting.

jadeja. has left arm h4x, has the 'intangibles'
india are gonna get killed. they were rolled over ladt summer by the same outfit who had their belly tickled weeks prior by aus and at leadt that team could deploy wagnerball.
all youve got going for you is you dont have a mental block against aus as heavy as burgeys old man ramblings

Hehe, wasn't the scorecard looking something similar to this when Pant and Jadeja were piling it on in Sydney last time around.

Pandya is important, will give the main pacers much needed rest between spells and his bowling figures won't be much different from ashwin. Also a better batsman than ravi.

Assuming he doesn't break down in the middle. He can be a genuine match-winner, but Australia is just about the worst place to test his match-fitness.

I would not play Ashwin and Jadeja together, perfect recipe for Australia racking up 200 in a session. Rather play Jadeja and Vihari or Ashwin and Vihari depending on how the pitch looks, as much as we like to make fun of him he can still **** **** up for Australia if he gets a breaking 5th day pitch.
