This is not a bait for pro/ anti Dhoni talk .....but even Virat will be relieved to have him around . And if the chief selector says that we can't judge a certain player by his batting form and he is needed to guide the captain, then why don't you take him as a personal mentor for the captain? Why waste a place in 15 men squad, and thereby in playing XI too, with a non-performing mentor? After all he holds a very crucial position in batting line up. Link to comment

BagsOfScum Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 What?! all bite no venom, no wonder they say the barking dog is the least dangerous, India still submitting a team to the ICC, what happened with you guys pulling out, alas Australia will make short work of you guys Unleashed, SecondSlip, DDfan2017 and 3 others 6 Link to comment
DDfan2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Okay here we have few guys supporting Dhoni's selection, few opposing. I respect their views too who support Dhoni's selection. But I would like to know if there's anyone in ICF who supports Rahane's selection. Coz I can't respect the view of someone who supports Rahane in LOIs. Link to comment

speedheat Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Still can't get over the fact that rahane has been selected over pant Time and time rahane has proved that he is not an odi bat, he has no guts and bottles it when needed the most, his technique too is overrated by coots like gawaskar, his technique was exposed when amir trapped him like a tailender on a greenish bouncy track in Bangladesh, he should have been no where near our odi kit.

Sonix768 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't know but I'm little bit worried about Kohli's limited over captaincy. The first tournament he had a forgetful outing (2014 Asia Cup) as a captain. Hope this time around he manages well. WC2011INDIA and Ankit_sharma03 2 Link to comment

kira Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just now, Sidhoni said: Is it worse than his international record? He averages 36 in list A with 5 centuries, his t20 strike rate after 157 matches is 118, he can't play limited overs cricket, regardless of form, even pujara has a way better record than him in domestic odis DDfan2017 1 Link to comment

He atleast can be relied to keep the run rate in check and pick up odd wickets . In his current form can't say that about Ashwin.We definitely missed a trick by not picking Kuldeep Agreed and his fielding is a complete asset, his batting is bad for no 7 but not for no 8 Not selecting kuldeep is missing having that ace in the pack Link to comment

But if he plays one good innings he ll get 25 games to play on basis of it , thats what worries me And the guy is not a match winner. LOI are all about match winners now Link to comment

We used to pick talented players at young age. Yuvi, zaheer, kohli, raina etc etc. Look at Rabada. He's already the mainstay if SA bowling at the age of 21. Q de kock Arguably the best keeper bat in the world now. Seems like now a days we pick players only if they are 25+ Agreed.......as if we a have domestic structure like Aus n SA 4 hours ago, kira said: Why are we still picking Dhoni?

If Yuvi could be introduced into international scene in a big tournament at an age of 18, why can't Pant be? and pants batting looks better then when yuvi came in Rohit n kohli also played soon for India after u-19 may be in a year or two 2 hours ago, NareshK said: Rahane is a tried and tested failure in ODIs. Dont know what selectors get out of beating a dead horse. They have done enough damage by selecting him over the last few years but dont seem to have learned their lesson. Yuvraj is past his prime and wont deliver. Could have gone for Pant, Samson, Shreyas Iyer or even Manoj Tiwary in Yuvraj or Rahane's place or even a wicket taking spinner like Kuldeep Yadav who has the x factor. Selectors went the safe route as usual and dont have the balls to take tough decisions for the betterment of the team. Disappointed. tiwary kuch zyaada ho gaya 3 hours ago, DDfan2017 said: Got a 29 and 50 in only test he played against NZ. Failed in one test against England and he was dropped. Do you call that enough chances for him? his new stance will be exposed in Eng, pitches are flat there but still wud be better than ipl Also at his age he ll be another slow fielder Link to comment

He might be the worst fielder, but he's the best at the main job given to him, ie bowling. No point of selecting a good fielder who can't do the main job of bowling well. Btw Ashwin too doesn't add much value to the team with his fielding. Ashin does well in big tournaments, Big tournaments are about pressure Link to comment
