But would India be able to score this many runs after two early wickets?? The last time India got a huge score after losing early wickets was against England at Cuttack where Yuvi and MSD scored centuries. Link to comment

That is the problem with Indian team,middle order stinks and is non existent even on flattest of pitches.Even in recent Australian series Top three had to play finishing role too. Only Pandya who is still unproven has some ability to score at high SR. Others are just useless, KLR was batting under 100 SR with one wicket down unable to to even rotate strike and people are expecting him to some how miraculously score big runs in world cup.

India should have identified 2-3 players and stuck with them. Since the World Cup we have tried Rahane,Yuvraj, Dhoni, Pandey, DK, Rahul, Pandya, Iyer, Rayudu and Shankar in that position. Thats a few too many players Link to comment
putrevus Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Sometimes I feel Indian middle order might be the worst middle order in whole world cup and they tail cannot bat to save their lives, they stink. So much pressure on bowlers and top three. This might be weakest Indian batting lineup in any world cup. Edited May 14, 2019 by putrevus Stan AF 1 Link to comment

I still rate Rahul quite highly inspite of his recent international failures. Link to comment
Forward Defence Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Pakistan losing wickets a little too early. Will be missing out on key runs. No total is safe Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Indian middle order will retreat into a shell once top order is blown away. Two reasons. Poor strike rotators. Batsmen with weakness against spin. India will have only 7 players to score 300 or 350. So wickets in hand is important in every match Link to comment

But cant get rid of guys like Kuldeep and Bumrah as they offer a lot with the ball. Our main problem is no 4 and no 6 Link to comment

He can’t accelerate until 50 th over Norman 1 Link to comment

maniac Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This Tom Curran is good. Looks like the wrong Curran got the IPL contract. Even though Sam is not too bad but more of a test player Link to comment

Other than pant I just don't see any batting talents which were left out.Indian batting talent at domestic level is horrible. I just don't see any big hitters also in domestic cricket.

Let's focus on that Reason is he will add additional pressure to the batsman at the other end to score faster than the optimum rate. Dhoni is excellent when we chase a moderate total and need a calm head. If we bat first we may never know what is a good target Link to comment

Sachin got a 94 there as well The 113 was against Sri Lanka in the Natwest Series That 113 was when he was in the middle order right? Link to comment
