Constant batting order ?

[Guest Hiten.]

Why are we fiddling with our batting order in every damn game. This is the 2nd instance where we were chasing a 'modest' target vs Aus, yet Dhoni opts to send IKP ahead of all other recognized batsmen. Isn't he actually sending a message to Aussie's that there is some anxiety in the team when the first wicket falls ? Yuvraj is completely out of form, why doesn't Dhoni give a chance to yuvi to face new, hard ball (which UV likes playing agianst). UV's forte has been playing vs Pace bowlers. And for god's sakes, stop picking Robin ahead of Raina. Robin uthappa showed he has no patience whatsoever. All Johnson had to do was bowl a bouncer, pass some comments to 'pump' Robin up. And this lad started swinging his bat as if there was no tomorrow. Batting order for upcoming games, that I'd like to see is: Veeru SRT GG UV R.Sharma Raina Dhoni IKP Bhajji Sree I.Sharma There is absolutely no need to go in with 5 bowlers because it makes our batting order more fragile. veeru/srt/uv can share alloted 10 overs amongst each other.

I think 5 bowlers is a good idea but at least 2 need to be very handy with the bat, and decent in the field ... which means either Pathan and Kumar or Pathan and Chawla ... and they must remain in the lower order to still be useful.

Irfan's one of the best players in the team, but sending him at No 3?? It cost us the match. :angry_smile: :angry_smile:
