zen Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 In brill hitting form. Need the Pant-Pandya combo to unleash on teams .... May 22nd is the deadline to make changes to the team The hate youngsters like Pant receive only because they can replace a few incumbents in the 11 is shameful!

mani sha Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Dhoni - grandpa should retire .he has singlehandedly blocked pant . Kohli - sack him as captain ( read his lines of Dhoni and u might think he is talking about Safdar Patel or mahatma Gandhi or shaheed Bhagat Singh ) shastri - we lost South Africa and England cos of his intentions pant stands no chance against such giants I pray we exit before the last 4 - pant will then walk in as captain and we begin a golden era hopefully under Dravidian glory Stan AF, Nikola, Norman and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment

Mosher Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Pant is a special talent. He can play these kind of innings when he uses his brain and not try cheeky shots early on in his innings. This WC snub has a lit a fire in him and hopefully we will see more such innings from him now. UrmiSinhaRay, Laaloo, nevada and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

One final climb down of selectors in not unthinkable They should have at least said, "Squad is provisional". It would be unfair if they switch player without rhyme or reason. All those who got selected probably already be dreaming about the world cup. Suddenly if you go tell him "You will be dropped". It will not be fair.

Lannister Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I am surprised Kohli couldn't get Pant in the squad, seeing both are from the same state. It seems like he has realized his place in the team and that he has always been Dhoni's #1 b!tch. His bravado will only work against youngsters and the new players.

Clarke Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Is anyone else not convinced with Pant's keeping ? This isn't about supporting Dhoni or DK but having the best wicketkeeper batsman in the XI. Among the three, I feel much more confident with Dhoni having the gloves & Pant followed by DK on the crease in international cricket. Such a shame, the process of giving youngsters chance for WC position should have started in 2016/17. MSD movie was coming on tv the other day and that video conference with selectors came up. I laughed at the hypocrisy. If they make a movie in Kohli would his loyalty to MS show up ? Maybe not :/ Edited April 23, 2019 by Clarke Stan AF 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I hope he is not included now. Kohli, Shastri, MSK Prasad and gang will take that as an insult and will do everything to destroy his career. Dhoni will not be pleased either with Pant's constant threat over his head. In summary he will find himself in a very hostile environment. Better for Pant to stay away from WC, if possible get a county contract (am sure he will be in demand if there is a spot available) and prepare well for WI tour. Do hope he plays a few more gems in this IPL. Will be a great morale booster for him. beetle 1 Link to comment
