Texan Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 This is a very predictable selection, not a single move to blood in new talent. Would have loved to see Shaw or Mayank get a chance. But this selection committee does not have the balls to do that. Just picked a "safe" team that nobody can question. Even if team loses, they will have common explanation that they picked the best team possible. nevada and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 They didn't do that even in Asia cup lol Why would they do in the world cup. nevada, Zero_Unit and Ankit_sharma03 3 Link to comment
Texan Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Because it does work sometimes. Remember T20 World Cup 2007? We went with completely new captain and team...... And we won! diehardpacer and nevada 2 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Lets not ask for fresh blood just for the sake of it ki kuch fresh chahiye Its a pretty well picked squad- 1-2 positions are debatable n will always be jf1gp_1, bowl_out and philcric 3 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) A big tournament needs experienced players. Even if they are young, you need some experience behind them. You cant blood rookies in a WC squad straight away. Edited April 16, 2019 by rkt.india jf1gp_1 1 Link to comment

They should have started this experiment as soon as we lost previous WC. Almost 4 years have been wasted and we see same faces yet again as the new comers are not yet developed due to bad planning. Gill lacks the ability to hit in death overs. Also Shaw has adapted to international stage by scoring tons in limited opportunities he got (2 Tests) by top scoring for Team India. However he was injured and hence could not be tried in NZ series. Iyer is another candidate. Has ODI average 42 and SR 96 which is very good for someone stepping into next level.

bowl_out Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 You don't blood new talent at the WC.. They needed to do it building up to the WC, not at the WC.. Wishful thinking by many that Shaw or Mayank would make a debut at the WC.. Link to comment
SK_IH Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I am not that disappointed, batting lacks firepower so there was thought back in mind about Pant being there to make for that. However, it is just a thought with Pant at the moment, as they say dikhane wala thapad maarne wala nahi. Edited April 16, 2019 by SK_IH Link to comment

Gill hardly got any chance to be fair. Would have been an ideal pick for 4. Can't keep playing same old same old that does not provide the spark of new talent. Link to comment

diehardpacer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Aussies picked Shaun Tait for 2007 WC having played only 3-4 ODIs. He ended up as 2nd leading wicket taker with 23 wickets at avg of 20.And India picked all experienced oldies and the result was utter humiliation. Mosher and zen 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 You need atleast two out of box selections in squad of 15.This selection committee has been bane for youngsters, they are so moronic and short sighted. Texan, diehardpacer and nevada 3 Link to comment

Ind does not have any vision and usually is reactive, and lags in sports diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Tait wasn't an automatic selection, it was due to Brett Lee's injury in NZ series prior the WC. He got the chance & grabbed it with both hands. But I agree that our selectors lack vision & have wasted a lot of time to try out other young players in recent past. Edited April 16, 2019 by Turning_track Link to comment
putrevus Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Rayudu again showed why you don't invest on over the hill 33 year old player. They could used all the time they wasted on Rayudu in giving some young kid like Iyer or Gill with an upside to stay in the side for decade. This is such a big blunder by everyone involved. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Don't be surprised if same squad plays in next series after World Cup - 1 or 2 casualties. Link to comment
