Haven't been that impressed by Raina tbh. His FC record doesn't match up with the others' and he isn't making a strong case for future test selection this Ranji season either. Rohit Sharma is moving up the ranks but his consistent failures at the international level have pushed him down in the pecking order. Irfan Pathan would be there if not for his complete loss of bowling talent. I have very high hopes for Pradeep Sangwan. I hope he does not let me down.

Just about every Aussie has picked Usman Khawaja

What are the odds of him actually playing Test cricket for AUs?

He needs to make a few more tons, but he is 2nd behind Hughes atm.

Khawaja has an average of 40 after his first 11 games, which isn't a mean feat. And he's struck form this season.

Plus, he has curry blood

That bowling attack looks god awful tbh.

 

[rahuldravidfan]

Okay. I'm sure you didn't go through the reserves- Sudeep Tyagi, Dhawal Kulkarni are quite awesome & RP makes the cut as he has experience on his side. Whats so awful about the bowling? Ishant & PK are good, Piyush has been awesome in the English County circuit and in the Domestic one this year. And there's Ojha in the reserves.

Your concerns seem to be a touch out of place imo.

Plenty of International caps already

Pretty much agreed except I think JP would bat ahead of vandiar based on seniority. The only issue with that side is no spinner. I would pick Shaun vo Berg ahead of Tsotsobe to give the spinning option.
