jalebi_bhai Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Our middle order is the problem. Once we fix it, we'll be dominating home and away. Top 3 are among the best in the world and our first choice bowlers work well as a unit. It's the middle order musical chairs that's going to screw our chances. Mosher and SG1994 2 Link to comment

Well, even in the top 3, I don't think Rohit will be as effective in the likes of SA and NZ. Even when we take his record after he became an opener, he has not done well in these 2 countries. But I agree that the main issue is our middle order which is very poor. The team has no idea who to play in 4-7, nor even the correct order. They have been shunting Pandya up the order far too often, and this doesn't work IMO because the likes of Jadhav and the decaying Dhoni are not power-hitters anymore. Since they have stated Dhoni will play till 2019 WC, they need to move him to 4 (or 5 at the most) and identify who 5-7 are going to be. Link to comment

His record is good in England and Australia and I believe he'll mostly do well at the World Cup. With regards to the middle order, it is just absolute monkey business on behalf of the team management that has resulted in this. We've had to bring back Dinesh Karthik to try and remedy the problem . Let's see what they do. I'm tired of listing all the possible combinations. Link to comment

Not every comedy show judge can hit Shane Warne out of the park at will. Even in his dreams, Dhawan cant do what he could do. And even in his dreams, Dhawan cant face the likes of Waqar and Wasim, in their prime like Sidhu did. I hope you watched Sidhu play, before making that comment! Peace out! Link to comment

None of the middle order batsman in the current line up give me that same type of belief apart from kohli. Very true,in the past if India required something like 80 of last 10 we'd win 8/10 times with yuvi,raina,dhoni etc nowadays even 70 of last 10 seems a big task with this brittle,prone to collapse middle order Edited February 9, 2018 by adi B Link to comment

ravishingravi Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I must write in simpler english going forward. Where did I compare the quality of team's over even India's perfomances from the 90s. My simple point was Kohli seems like as big a scalp to opposition today as Sachin was in 90s. I see it perfectly justified. Which of the following batsman has raised in stature Rohit - Yes. But lately seems off. Dhawan - Doesn't score big hundreds Kohli - ... Rahane - still trying to find his feet in ODIs Jadhav - WTF. What more will it take for a batsman to not be selected Hardik - Hit & Miss Dhoni - Way past his sell date. But still considered useful as wise old man of the team Pandey - Again WTF. Patta batsman expert in banging third rate bowlers Shreyas Iyer - Not tested We can't keep harping about this great pool of batting talent if nobody is taking the baton. If one recalls, the scenario was similar in tests. This team is psychologically hand held and driven by Kohli. The batting line up is not evolving. Link to comment

When you say Sachin and Kohli are similar big wickets in their times and we are at risk of going back to 90's you are effectively comparing the two teams. So folks are responding that we wont since the talent around Kohli is phenominally good now and not like the the manju's and mongias of 90s. Edited February 9, 2018 by Vilander Link to comment

ravishingravi Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 In Kohli’s absence, the batting line up doesn’t hold it together. Today too, once he got out, sting went out of the innings. Link to comment
randomGuy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Kohli is too important for this team for my liking. Specially abroad. Time for others to put their hands up. Middle order looks wanting. Turning_track 1 Link to comment
