Pandey/Jadhav/Dhoni(2017):is this the worst 4-5-6 combo we had since the 90's

[maniac]

Looks like our selectors read this thread and one upped it with a middle order of Jadhav,Karthik and Dhoni

Your top order is also a issue..they seem to bat slow for Ind standards.

It just keeps getting better. I was thinking we will have issues in worldcup w.r.t knock out games especially semis. Quarter final victory might seem like an achievement now.

yes

I don't know how, at this day and age, we are not including a single 6 hitter from No.4 to No.6 in LOIs.

 

Ideally, there should be atleast 2 such hitters based on present-day ability.

Well, we have a champion dot-hitter - Dhoni (or Dot-ni).

Lack of 6 hitters from 4 to 7  ( current-day-ability ) , apart from Pandya ,  has been a worry for us for quite some time. Many of us have pointed it out repeatedly.

 

Today was a good example.  We were 252 for 1 after the 40th over..... reached just 337.... only 85 runs from such position of strength in the last 10 overs.

We need a strong nbr 3 in tests bcoz a wicket could fall pretty early due to nature of pitches. Do we need a prodding nudging kind of accumulators in middle order in odis even when our top 3 have a cumulative average of around 50? In 6 out of 10 games they are mostly gonna get to bat around 37th over.

Some icfers want accumulators in t20 team let alone a odi team

yes they are worst in current scenario,25 of 18 balls is a pedestrian effort,ideally it should be 35-40 of 18 balls but that cant be achieved by running 2s and 3s

[speedheat]

Pitch was flat as a road, heck like Munro got 50, 25(18) ball was pathetic inning.

     Absolutely right ..  

     Frustrating thing is there is no attempt done to address this issue by selectors . 

     Going back to Geesa peeta accumulaters . There is only 1 place from 4 to 7 for an accumulater .
