My 11 for 2nd test match against England
After a hard fought draw by the Indians at Trent Bridge which was a flat pitch deserves a much more exciting contest between bat and ball. In this match the Indian batting performed well but did not cash on the position India were. They reduced England to 202 for 7 and after that the tailenders frustrated the Indians. The last wicket parnternship of both teams added 111 and 198 respectively.
In this match Murali Vijay 146 in the first innings set the tone of series, Dhoni 82, Pujara also played well in both inning scoring 50's, Bhuvenswar scoring 50 in both innings and taking 5 wickets in the first innings, Ishant Sharma who bowled an inspiring spell to trigger a collapse but the main problem was Ravindra Jadjea not picking wickets putting pressure on the fast bowlers, Stuart Binny who did not bowl many overs but played a crucial 78 runs innings to save the match for the Indians. The pitch played a role as it was a flat and docile pitch. As the next test match is going to take place at Lords the bowlers will hope for some bounce and pace.
My 11 for 2nd test match would Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajankya Rahane, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadjea, Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shami and Ishant. This will be the best combination for the Indians.
In the 2nd test match if there is some help for the spinners and left handers in their rank Ashwin is the best option that I think. I am sure that this combination can bring success to the team.
