GOod luck charm. Winning a series before wc didn't result well in 2007. Whereas losing a series before wc in 2003, 2011, 2015 was good :)

Going by Kohli ‘we have to decide on only one spot’, Rayudu looks to be a certainty

Peaking? The WC is in eng. Almost every top team has better record than then in Eng. And I am talking about just few years.

They have players coming into form, and their fast bowling has always been good, and now they seem to have their spin bowling covered also - Zampa outbowled Kuldeep this series. Yes, peaking.

I think we will do good, get pandya in at 7 , Vijay Shankar at 4, dhoni at 5  and either DK/Jadhav at 6 , bhuvi,shame,bumrah and kukdeep , we have decent ammunition . 

 

KLR as backup for worst case emergency back up and we have a good team. We just need blinders from top 3 in semis and finals .

potential exit for jadeja? Waste of a spot

[chewy]

Jadeja doesn't belong in ODIs. His batting not suited for ODI game at lower position

Doubt that.. Rayudu was 'dropped' in the last 2 matches

But used himself at 4 and Pant at 4. Both are not going to happen anyway. So he made sure that spot is still open.

Jadhav @ 6 is miscalculation at its worst.. he can only play at 4...  this is the root cause of all our middle order issues..

He has been given chances at no. 4 only 3 times. It clearly shows the TM doesn't have confidence on him for that position.

This current TM doesn't have the talent of identifying talents.. it has been proved already.. especially Kohli.

Your number 6 should be someone who can hit a  6 of a fast bowler... not just hitting it..but someone who can clear and romp it into the stands.. imagine Jadhav ever doing that.. ROFL.
