Mumbai indians team?

Lol I don't see how. Of the 11 players: * 3 Mumbai Indians * 2 CSK * 2 RCB * 1 PW * 1 RR * 1 DC * 1 KKR

[Sidhoni]

:yay:

[Texan]

Rahane Rayadu Pujara Tendulkar Kohli R.Sharma Dhoni Ashwin Bhuvaneshwar Shami Ojha I've gone left field with the choices of openers. Rayadu's style reminds me alot of Sehwag in his prime (particularly against spin) but his technique is more compact. I think Rayadu could make the transition to opener (he opened in his younger days). His technique is solid. Regarding Rahane, everyone says he's not an opener but there's not that much of a difference between No.3 and opener anyway.

Interesting choice of Rayudu. Seems like a fine cricketer. He definitely deserves a chance in ODIs and T20s right away. Could be Test material too.

Rahul Sharma has a terrible record in FC. Average of 51 in 21 games. He is not good enough for third string India X1. Dont pick players based on their IPL performances.

[PSB_Zone]

The best for India and sehwag is to put him in the middle order. S.dhawan(Ideally Jaffer) A.rahane c.pujara s.tendulkar v.sehwag(if he fails then R.sharma) V.kohli M.dhoni R.jadega R.ashwin I.sharma P.ojha

[Gunner]

Our best bowling attack in subcontinental conditions would be Ashwin Ojha Mishra Umesh Yadav Shami / Zaheer I'd also bring in Dhawan for Vijay.

Siddarth Kaul is another very good option because has amazing ability to reverse the old ball at 85 mph pace which he shown in the telecast match played at Rajkot. I have never seen such reverse swing in a long time.

[Mohan470]

My XI : Dhawan Sehwag Pujara Sachin Kohli Rahane Dhoni Jadeja Aswhin Bhuvi Ojha

[India-KXIP fan]

Well I would tell Vijay or Dhawan to fake injury cause they are chit players and then have the following XI after calling replacements: Sehwag, Gambhir, Pujara, SRT, Kohli, Rohit, MSD, Ashwin, Bhaji, Ojha, Ishant.

Yeah guess Ill chuck in Sid instead of Sharma.

[India-KXIP fan]

Absolute thrashing. :agree: I always knew Australians winning ways wouldn't last, they had such a poor team compared to their old ones. This gameshowed how much better India really was. Normal service resumes after a poor season. SA still ahead of India though. So they have to win that series later this year as well. It's nice to have won Aus series though. :nice:

[rkt.india]

This team is picked for first 2 tests, so dont expect too many changes.

[kubrickian]

Sehwag Vijay - they will give him another chance because they picked him in squad Pujara Sachin Kohli Rahane Dhoni Ashwin Jadeja B Kumar Ojha

[Sidhoni]

Dhawan for Vijay, Ojha for Harbhajan.

[Lord]

two changes.Ishant n Vijay out.Rahane n Ojha in

[Number]

Vijay is natural opener, he can attack the spinners (like we saw him against Lyon today), he should be given 4 tests and he will score a century by the end of 4th test.

[rkt.india]

two changes.Ishant n Vijay out.Rahane n Ojha in

Who will open then? Pick Ojha in place of Bhajji. Rahane in placed of Ishant in middle order and Dhawan for Vijay.

[G_B_]

Sehwag (last chance) Rahane or Pujara Rahane or Pujara Sachin Kohli Dhoni Ashwin Jadeja B Kumar Ojha Ishant or Dinda - Hyderabad is the home ground of Ojha. Needs to play - Hyderabad also had something in it for the quick's last ODI and Test i saw v Nz. Especially bounce. I think Ishant and B Kumar need to be persisted with for this match. 2 seamers need to play. - Murali vijay is a walking wicket. I dont trust Dhawan either. Open with Pujara or Rahane. Players who maybe able to see off the new ball.

[Lord]

Vijay is natural opener' date=' he can attack the spinners (like we saw him against Lyon today), he should be given 4 tests and he will score a century by the end of 4th test.[/quote'] natural opener needs to first go through the seamers,then only he can 'attack' the seamers.Vijay doesnt seem able to do it had a poor Ranji season,should not even be in the squad.that streaky ton got him in

[Sachinism]

So Dhoni looking to persist with the same team :facepalm:

+1 i think even sehwag is strong v the spinners. Most Indian batsman are. the fact is india need openers to see off the new ball.
