Temujin Khaghan Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 "If we can't protect the earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it" - Tony stark (Avengers) We couldn't save the 2011 humiliation and 2014 defeat. It's time to avenge those defeats... To win, some of the members of the Indian team need to stand up and make it count. Some more of them need to play supporting roles and help those who stand up against the opposition. In the avengers infinity war movie there are 3 Lead heroes like iron man, Thor and Cap (who lead the three main narratives of the story) and 10+ supporting heroes like bp, scarlet witch, strange, Spidey etc... who give support to the lead heroes. Who do you reckon are the lead heroes and supporting cast for our Indian team in the England series? Go ahead and name 3 lead heroes and 5 supporting members of the Indian team in the England series.. FOR ME - LEAD : 1. Kohli - 600+ runs 2. Umesh Yadav - 20+ wickets 3. Rahane - appx 500 runs SUPPORTING: 1. Bumrah - appx 18 wickets 2. Ishanth - appx 16 wickets with good e/r 3. KLR - appx 400 runs 4. Vijay - appx 400 runs 5. Ashwin - appx 200 runs, appx 15 wkts Absolutely no expectation from dhawan, dk, pant, jadeja, Kuldeep, Nair, pandya, pujara, shardul. if they play well then for me it is bonus.

Sandeep99 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Somehow feel Moeen, Buttler, and Bairstow will bang India this series. India can do well against England's top order but good lower orders always troubled us. Not to forget Moeen's bowling. Stan AF, UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 2 Link to comment

Vilander Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 @Temujin Khaghan Just a point to ponder if you want a positve thread you need to start with what could go right this time. If you start with what went wrong in 2011 and how we want revenge we will get much the same negative. Explore what is right and what you think could go right i think that will acheive your positive thinking threads purpose no matter the result. ... The process being important ..sorry had to but first para is all true.. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I feel a positive vibe ... a real strong one ... of India getting a can of whoop-ass handed to them! Jai Bhole Shankar!! UrmiSinhaRay and BlueBee 2 Link to comment
Gollum Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think our top 3 will surprise many this time around. And if Kohli-Rahane are shielded from the new ball, expect them to pile on the misery. Ishant too will surprise many after his stint under Gillespie. Should be a well fought series, can't wait. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I really hope we do win this. The humiliation of the last two tours here was worse than anything we have faced in Australia or SA. Want to put the ghosts of the past to rest here. Kohli and Shastri have already cost us a series win in SA. Can't afford to lose to this weak English team as well. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

During srt-rd-vvs-viru-zak-kumble-dada era we lacked a solid bowling lineup. But we now have a decent bowling lineup. Expecting big things from Umesh, ishanth, shami, Ashwin, Kuldeep. :) Edited August 1, 2018 by Temujin Khaghan Link to comment

Viru - vijay / dhawan Dravid - kohli Sachin - pujara Laxman - Rahane Dhoni - DK Zaheer - Umesh Sree - shami Ishant - ishant Bhajji - ashwin Kumble - jaddu / kuldeep That team was 10 x better in both departments Switchblade 1 Link to comment
mishra Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Said it amny times in past. Saying it again. Every series Kohli will start series by giving opportunity to his favourites. Later on if things go south and media uproar, He will talk to Bunty and select the right players Link to comment

You seem to have forgotten that bumrah and bhuvi are available from 2nd and 4th tests. That was an atg batting lineup. Though, MSD was not his usual self in overseas tests. But bowling wins games not batting. What's the use of having Sachin dravid in 2011 tour when no one is taking wickets. Edited August 1, 2018 by Temujin Khaghan Link to comment
