pandey is good batsman in top 3 for t20 cricket,hooda am not to convinced about,do you think hooda good enough to bat at 3?

rana yes can be tried but i think pandey is quality player

Pandey is a slow starter, not a big hitter and more apt for ODIs. I dont think there is any such thing as top 3 or middle order in T20s. India already has Kohli and perhaps Rohit as well for that job who can bat steadily if needed. You need to have a strike rate of 130 and above. Otherwise you shouldnt play T20s.

 

Deepak Hooda is a big hitter and can also bowl handy off spin if needed.

pandey has been very successful for kkr over the years and i think he we should not go for just big hitters like wi even they rely on likes samuels and simmons

hooda is a decent bat but his bowling is quite ordinary everytime i see him bowl

another thought watching pant n kishan open again for seniors this time would be great

Because kkr has other big hitters to compensate.

I have been wanting that since the time i saw these 2 open in U19s  

Selectors and captain are too fattu to even try this against ZIM.

What the fock? Why isnt this team playing the ODIs ?

Because of WI board policy. You play international in only those format you play domestics. 

All the stars play t20 leagues and skip domestic odis. That's why they are only selected for T20Is.

Yes. Sammy was dropped after his infamous WT20 winning speech. 

Brathwaite was captain in florida t20s too.

Samuels and Simmons are also good hitters and they can easily hit sixes even on slow surfaces. They know how to clear boundaries with sheer power and hence they do well in a 20 over game. You need more of those type of batsmen in our T20 team like Pandya, Kedhar Jadhav etc. Kohli and Rohit can be the accumulators. You dont need more of them like Manish Pandey, KL Rahul, Dhawan or Rahane in a 20 over game. I'm all for Pandey and KL Rahul to play ODIs but not T20s.

 

Somehow Indian selectors and captains cant grasp this simple concept. We always had this problem though. Yuvi and Raina were selected for tests, Rahane, Rayudu for ODIs etc. The trend continues.

Please bring that team to England WI. Especially Gayle, Narine, Pollard, Samuels, Brathwaite, even if just for the ODIs and T20. What I don't get is why the stars will play T20 for the Windies but nothing else. If it's about money, as I understand, then for cricket's sake WICB pay them what they want for the other forms too.

 

A potential team of Gayle, Lewis, Hope, Samuels, Pollard, Brathwaite, Holder, Narine, Nurse, Joseph, Taylor would put bums on seats and test England a bit more. Or swap the second spinner (Nurse) for Mohammed who did well against England in that short ODI series in the spring. Anyway I know it won't happen so this is all just fantasy and wishful thinking. Depresssing.

Its not about money - its about control.  WICB does not select the 'name' players for their team because those guys have a degree of financial independence due to their T20 league contracts.   So they don't fall in line to the WICB diktats slavishly.   WICB arbitrarily makes them ineligible for West Indies selection based on its whims.    Sometimes using "attendance" in domestic cricket as criteria, sometimes "fitness".  

 

 I mean, this is team where their best test batsman had his pay reduced from Grade B to Grade C, while a dinosaur like Marlon Samuels who played worse than him was upgraded to Grade A, and on top of that was publicly humiliated by the board president who justified it by attacking his test average.   When he dared to 'talk back', he was promptly suspended and banned from the team overnight, and is not even allowed to participate in domestic cricket.  

 

West Indies board has been in a civil war with its players for over 20 years.  Its not new, whats new is that the top players finally have options to get paid outside of county cricket.

Terrible choice to recall Gayle. He is out of form. 

On a good day he can still get a few good runs.
