I'll give you Kaul but why the f would you want to give chances to Mandeep and Yuvraj? What have they done in IPL or domestic to warrant a place over others? I was against Yuvraj being picked from the outset, for the England series at home. But now he has cemented his place in the squad and we have to live with it. Him being in my theoretical XI, gives the middle order some experience. I forgot Jadhav actually, he could (should) be there instead. Mandeep Singh has been consistent in domestic ODI tourneys and made a few recent India squads, just for fairness and consistency he needs to be given a chance to prove himself or not. There are not a huge number of good domestic List A openers to choose from. Link to comment

I dont think you are or anyone on this board is rascist but categorizing players based on their zone rather than ability is not cool. We in the end all want Indian cricket to be the best and I dont think anyone on this forum wishes bad. Just honest difference of opinion. Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I really did not understand Holder blocking Yuvraj bowling in the end with game out of hand. This just reminded me when Prabhakar and Mongia blocked with RRR was 9-10 or something. You either hit out or get out. You feel like making conspiracy theories after watching non sense like this.

The atmosphere in West Indies has also become dull, perhaps has to do with decrease in popularity of the game. Some years ago, they used to have bands, people dancing in the stands and there was genuine enthusiasm when runs were scored or wickets fell like how its in India. Maybe if they prepare seamer friendly pitches which are more suitable for pace bowlers like how it was in the past, cricket could become popular again ?

They are still T20 world champions.. and they should stick with that format cuz i dont see any hope in WI becoming a force in test arena.. Promote T20s and may be ODIs Link to comment

Also look at this team a team captained by Jason Holder doesn't deserve any crowd. Likes of Gayle,Sammy(even though as a cricketer he is as mediocre if not more than Holder) and Bravo still have that star power. I remember 2-3 years ago, Gayle was on fire in one of the ODI games and there was a lot of support. Link to comment
someone Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Guess our players wanted to boost their averages, and then they didn't want to travel long from India to reach West Indies. Already were half way in England. Link to comment
