Jokes aside, is Jadeja out because of the concussion or the hamstring?

Whatever it takes!!!
I think he was doing some fitness work on the boundary lines during the 2nd or 3rd game though? Either way, yes I think he may not play the first test. Just gotta hope Ash comes through for us again at Adelaide. And hopefully MCG can see both of them play. I am more worried about the 3rd seamer. Umesh is fine but the attack just loses so much potency without Ishant with the new ball, giving us both control and hostility.

Paine, Head, Pattinson and Neser going to Adelaide to join the Test squad.

Ben McDermott joins so A squad down to 12 players. Carey will captain

I didn't think a player could just join the squad like that? Well that's what Langer said to defend why Cummins couldn't be brought back to T20 squad.

I am assuming this means Starc may well sit out the game?

Steketee and Henriques out with Wildermuth in (think Henriques injured).

No Kohli or Pujara with India winning toss and batting. Also playing both WKs and no spinner

No spinner selected either.

I think they're using this as a selection test (both Pant and Saha, all three of Gill, Shaw and Agarwal playing) instead of preparation which is not ideal imo.
