Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Drop Tendulkar, Drop Dhoni, Drop Uttapha Bring back Wasim Jaffer, VVS Laxman, and make Karthik the keeper. Dont need Mr i Perform only in India on flat dry pitches, Dhoni. Or they will loose to bangladesh and bring about more embarassment and give Bangladesh more bragging rights. Link to comment

ali0786 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's rajeev what about Pathan ? I would have him in your team instead of Raina, or maybe instead of one of the spinners. Link to comment
Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's yea sure. But i think Jaffer deserves a chance. Link to comment
Rajiv Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's Jaffer is not an ODI player Our Test XI will still remain Sehwag Jaffer Dravid Sachin Ganguly Laxman Karthik Zaheer Munaf Kumble Sreesanth Link to comment
Mandrake Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's Sachin in my opinion really needs a break from cricket....both ODI and tests.Its in his own interest to take time off and think about his game.....better still he should quit ODI's and play only tests...thats the only way he can play a few years more...18 years is a very long time to play continously and the effect is telling particularly mentally..he is just not there these days.

Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's Uttapha not good enough give Jaffer a chance. he has a better technique and is just not front foot minded like Uttapha, I see utapha failing in a lot of countries outside of India. He seems like flat pitch front foot player hes overrated in my mind. Link to comment
Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's A good well balanced line up for ODI's 1. Wasim Jaffer 2. Sourav Ganguly(Capt) 3. VVS Laxman(Vice Capt) 4. Rahul Dravid 5. Yuvraj Singh 6. Virender Sehwag 7. Dinesh Karthik 8. Ajit Agarkar 9. Munaf Patel 10. Zaheer Khan 11. Anil Kumble Bench 1. Mohammad Kaif 2. Irfan Pathan 3. Ramesh Powar 4. Sreesanth Link to comment
Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's Laxman should be given a good 2 years too finish is ODI career, in saying this i believe hes the perfect person to have on the team to encourage youngsters hes a good leader to youngsters, ask the likes of sreesanth uttapha etc,but cant see him as captain i think ganguly should finish of his career as a captain hes played well and has brought up key players on the team. Tendulkar is the most selfish player ever and Dravid is too soft and is not a good leader that for sure. Link to comment

MundaPakistani Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's One question! Why can't Sachin open ?? Link to comment
gator Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's yeah.... sachin has to open.... atleast i have never seen him in choke when there is movement early on.... more often than not, he sees the early overs through at a healthy rate, unlike Ganguly, who makes Mortaza look like Jeff Thomson....

Bumper Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's Many of you guys are overreacting. We all agreed just 2 weeks ago that this is our best ODI team to go into a world cup. Three games dont change that. We have already tried & failed with youth (Raina, Kaif, Venu etc). Our youth neither has the talent nor the temperament for the big stage. If we kick out all our world cup floppers, we will struggle even more. Our best bet is that the current ODI team (barring one or two changes). If these guys dont perform, we aint going anywhere. We have to put together a system/infrastructure, hire the right captain/coach etc to get the best out of this team. I'll continue with Dravid as captain in the short term, simply because of the lack of an obvious alternative currently. Dhoni is the best replacement for Dravid, but his time hasnt come yet. Chappell gets the boot, as many players fear him, rather than revere him. He cannot inspire higher performances from our players by inducing fear. I dont care who replaces him. Am convinced, unless this team is willing to introspect & voluntarily work on its weaknesses, no coach can be helpful. Link to comment
Sooda Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's if theres any time to make changes then it is now, were playing banglas soon, then England I think...as good a time as any. Ok we'll lose a few, but theyll learn. we hope its not WHOLESALE changes per se. Id drop SRT and Ganguly in favour os youth, maybe Aggy. force Dravid into retirement from ODIs as well. yeah he's still good, but we want him concentrating on tests- all three of em in fact Lets face it WCups are the ultimate goal, the holy trinity arent going to be around till 2011...might as well build for it now... Uthappa Sehwag Yuvraj© Kartik MSD Raina Pathan Zak Munaf Bhajji another allrounder possibly in there... Link to comment
Anakin Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's One question! Why can't Sachin open ??x2 Sachin and Sehwag should open, with Uthappa at #3, followed by RD and Ganguly. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Indias next line up for ODI's ppl gone loco who ever picked jafer in their odi team.. come on grow up.. hez good, but just only in test... Link to comment
