zen Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The 12 players announced: India: 1 KL Rahul, 2 Prithvi Shaw, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Virat Kohli (capt.), 5 Ajinkya Rahane, 6 Rishabh Pant (wk), 7 R Ashwin, 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Kuldeep Yadav/ Shardul Thakur The combination of 5+1+5 is ok. But because of investment in failures such as Rahane, the weakest link in batting in the last two years, and Shardul, poor Vihari and Siraj miss out on the opportunity. Though Kuldeep could get a look in so a positive After announcing a relatively fresh test squad, having Rahane and Thakur in the 11/12 is like Ind taking 1 step forward and then 1 backward saik, Lannister, UrmiSinhaRay and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

zen Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, UnknownGenius said: No CSK lobby in LOI"s. Those players have actually proven to be the best in that format having won the biggest tournament in 2018 and showing that winning mentality and are deservedly rewarded by ODI selection and what did they do? Went ahead and won India another title whie many here said India would be trashed 3-0 by Pakistani in Asia cup meanwhile bambi lobby keeps battling for bygones like Rahane and Rohit sharma to play tests and soon they may try and bring dhawal kulkarni and surya yadav too. They are a disgrace. Thank you for the laughs! I support MI but have no problems with identifying the lobby as a potential problem .... CSK's, trundlers and scrappy batsmen, influence in LOI is evident PS Asia Cup was won because of Rohit+Dhawan+Bumrah+Kuldeep Thanks! Edited October 3, 2018 by zen Link to comment

Vilander Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 honestly wish poor Thakur does well.. there is a young lad behind all that. Hope he does well, may be its just the queue system and he is ahead of Siraj. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

zen Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just now, UnknownGenius said: But where is the consistency? That queue system didn't seem to matter for Nair. And how do guys like Shardul and Shaw keep jumping up the line of the queue. Surely Mayank Agarwal with bucket loads of runs over multiple seasons should have been ahead of Shaw and several bowlers ahead of Shardul Ind does not have an organized system to worry about "queues" .... First, we have to worry about what is good for team Ind (not players) Shaw has been fast tracked based on potential so will get opportunities Thakur should not be in the squad irrespective of where he is in the "queue" Nair needs to do a lot to be considered esp. based on his recent form Rahane should have been dropped Agarwal will get his chance raki05 and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 They keep picking TTF Umesh Yadav instead of developing new talents. Umesh might do well here but that wont change anything. At the age of almost 31, his bowling and career has not gone anywhere. Switchblade, SK_IH and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 1 Link to comment
