Imagine if we hadn't picked the limited overs specialist and gone with a genuine cricketer like Swepson. Would've rolled them for 15.

Jadeja is the danger man here. His straight spinners will become Warne like on this pitch.

If India lose this test, you watch...the BCCI will be pushing very hard to make the next 3 test pitches flat-tracks which crumble appreciably on day 5, with the hope of India winning the toss, batting first and piling 500+ in the first innings.

The backfire of making this rank-turners reminds me of England's 2012 tour of India, when Panesar and Swann wreaked havoc in the conditions, taking 27 of India's 40 wickets in the two tests England won in that series (including 19 out of 20 in Mumbai).

If Khwaja gets dropped because he can't play spin then why does Warner get picked overseas?

A classic T20 innings from a T20 batsman.
