Ind vs Aus | 2nd ODI | Rajkot | Jan 17th, 2020

[Global.Baba]

I don't think Rahul our main keeper during the U-19 WC he played in ? 

 

However commentators were selling that yesterday which opens up theories

[Global.Baba]

This is a random scorecard however look at the England U-19 Squad Root,Vince,Stokes and we had Rahul, Mayank and our legendary Mandeep Singh (Still waiting). Also Mayank was the 5th bowler Get him in

A proper keeper should ideally be replaced by the next best keeper . Is Samson in squad

[Laaloo]

This is going to be an absolute run fest. Oh boy

[express bowling]

My preferred 11

 

1. Rohit

2. Dhawan

3. Kohli

4. Iyer ... need him to settle at 4

5. Rahul ... direct replacement for injured Pant.

6. Pandey

7. Jadeja

8. Kuldeep 

9. Shami

10. Saini

11. Bumrah

 

---- Saini must must play.  ODIs are won by taking wickets ... pick the pacer who is most likely to pick Aussie wickets by combining express pace and bounce with accuracy. 

---- Can't go with 2 bits and pieces ODI player, Shardul and Jadeja. Only 1 can be there.

---- Pandey better than Jadhav of today.

 

 

[RajBan]

Play Saini and Dube. Let Kohli bat at 3 and Dhawan at 4. I am not able to understand if Dhawan is that needed why can't he adjust at 4.

So one failure and Kohi has gone back to saying he will have to reconsider batting at 4.

 

If world's best batsman finds it difficult to adjust to bat out of his comfort zone, how does he expect youngsters, whom he shuffles at his whim, to adjust without being given a proper run.

Exactly. I heard Kohli saying batting at no.3 and no.4 is not that different, if a batsman like Kohli can't adjust at 4 I don't know who can.

That is really not the point actually. The point is Kohli trying to adjust for Dhawan where he is inconsistent and not likely to play for next WC. If Kohli adjusting to build for the future by playing Rahul, Mayank and Gill at yeh top, then it makes sense regardless whether that will yield result or not. But this adjustment is nothing but shorsiightedness and protecting his pals ahead of the the team's interest.

shh...dont give ideas to confuse Kaptaan Kool more than he already is

True test for aus starts now. Kohli hates loosing bilateral series more than icc tournaments. 

[Mariyam]

Can any of the stat/math geeks on this website run a % win ratio for matches in Gujarat vs matches elsewhere for India under Ravi Shastri's tenure.

Pretty please.

 

I am not sure if our chances of win are more when he is sober or inebriated.

haha. That's hillarious but also a fact. The times we live in.

[nitinbwj]

Kohli wont be able to stop 3-0. It’s gonna be an epic thrashing.

India has no chance unless it's a spinning track, gotta play kulcha together

KulCha have to play anyways. The way we have destroyed them in the last 12 months should be a case study on how not treat young players

So true.. If he can't try it out in some meaningless bilaterals, where else would he try out new combinations? Like some one said, he takes these bilaterals more seriously than WC
