First he does this like a warning message and the next thing he does is send him home!

Available players: Michael Clarke (capt), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Phillip Hughes, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Xavier Doherty, Nathan Lyon, Brad Haddin (wk)
Doubtful: Matthew Wade (wk)
Out: Shane Watson, James Pattinson, Mitchell Johnson, Usman Khawaja

If you exclude Wade, its like a home test match. 12 players .
To be more specific. Starc automatically replaces Pattinson. Lyon or Smith should be in for Watson. Haddin to replace an injured Wade.

 

[vicky24]

Well they better name some replacements cos if not the players would have to get their own drinks, gloves and what not? And what if 2 or more players are injured while playing? Damn it would be like a team which was given one too many red cards!

 

[mhsabir]

Also to note, traditionally Mohali has had some help for seamers. And now again like Hyderabad they are down to 2.5 seamers. They could have brought one of the two "Mitchell" in the team as an extra in place of Maxwell or even replacing Hughes for example. But now they dont have choice. Unless Wade gets fit & Haddin is picked as a batsman, I dont see a change to what I listed above. And it would be funny if they pick Doherty, Lyon & Maxwell for Mohali.

This is ridiculous to axe 4 players for not doing their homework... :nono:

Maybe in the Indian team it's pretty ridiculous , but in the Australian team no player seems to be bigger than the team unlike in India where half our players seem bigger & more imp than the team itself...

So Dhawan will make is debut tomorrow!

 

[mhsabir]

Unless, they decide to play Rahane. Or considering its Mohali & India decide to drop Harbhajan & play Rahane and Dhawan. Finally, there was a brief injury scare for Pujara during the nets. So even in that case a possibility of both making a debut exists.

 

[mhsabir]

I guess are you saying Dhawan will play because its info released by team?

Virender Sehwag was axed from the Indian squad after failing to score runs in Chennai and Hyderabad Tests and Shikhar Dhawan will make his Test debut.

Ojha is playing for India and taking wickets against India, so obviously he is not picked

Pragyan Ojha, who was the highest wicket-taker for India in the Test series against India
