bharat297 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ok we need to bring some stability and familiarity at the top of the order so I would go with ... Sehwag Sachin Gambhir Sharma Yuvraj Dhoni Raina / Chawla Pathan Harbhajan Sreesanth Ishant I am undecided as to whether we should play Raina or Chawla, but I feel that we need to play Sreesanth (even though he can be expensive) as we need to look at our best chance at getting 10 wickets against Australia. The extra spinner might prove a useful option in Sydney. The safer option may be to play Raina, and use Sehwag/Sachin/Yuvraj for the last 10 overs. That could be risky. Link to comment
fineleg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Why is Sehwag dropped (by MSD) in favor of Praveen Kumar!? Link to comment
Gambit Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think if SL lose to Australia on Friday, we are through aren't we? If that happens, I'd rest Ishant,Pathan and SRT and play Sreesanth, Sehwag and Raina. Link to comment
fineleg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 if we get to a stage where we are 100% through, then get Manoj Tiwary to play as well Link to comment
Guest whineleg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Why is Sehwag dropped (by MSD) in favor of Praveen Kumar!? Why was Sehwag picked in the first place when he was not scoring runs against Himachal Pradesh Link to comment
bharat297 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I wouldn't chop and change the batting line up too much as we need these young players to get used to their positions and get some familiarity and stability in the batting. They have a gap of 5 days before their next match. That is enough rest for all I reckon. Link to comment

fineleg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Sachin Viru GG R Sharma UV Raina MSD Pathan Bhajji Sreesanth Ishant Looks quite good Link to comment
bharat297 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I worry about our 5th bowling options ... 4 paceman is a bit overkill I feel. Chawla may be a handy option in Sydney where the wicket is a bit slow. Link to comment
Dirty_South Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If u look carefully its 3 pacemen , One Spinner Tendlya,Viru & UV can easily bowl the remaining 10 overs... Link to comment
talksport Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My Team... Any 2 Openers, 3 Middle Order Bats, 1 Floating All Rounder , 1 WK Batsmen and 3 Pacers and 1 Spinner from the 15 we got :D Link to comment

I wasn't referring to your team, but rather the team picked for the last game against Aus where we had 4 pacemen, and today as well. Sorry about that. Link to comment
bunny Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 SRT, RS, GG, UV, MSD, VS, IP, HS, IS, MP, SS/PK (PK should be given at least 2-3 overs with new ball if picked) Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Sehwag, Tendulkar, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Uthappa, Pathan, Harbhajan, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth. Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think if SL lose to Australia on Friday' date=' we are through aren't we? If that happens, I'd rest Ishant,Pathan and SRT and play Sreesanth, Sehwag and Raina.[/quote'] No, SL will have to lose 2 out 3 for us to get in immaterial of India's results. If SL wins 2 out of 3, then we will have to win atleast one match out of Aus/SL If SL wins all 3, then India are out of the series. In all probability Aus are through to Finals. Only if India and SL win with bonus points against Aus, then Aus are out too. Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My team for the next match and finals too would be - Sehwag, Tendulkar, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Uthappa, Pathan, Harbhajan, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 TENDULKAR SEHWAG GAMBHIR YUVRAJ ROHIT Dhoni Raina/Uthappa Pathan Harbhajan Ishant Munaf thatz the team.. and this should also be the battin order Link to comment

If that happens, I'd rest Ishant,Pathan and SRT and play Sreesanth, Sehwag and Raina.[/quote'] at this time of the seriez.. it would be better of not resting TEndulkar.. he is kind of struggling to play big one.. it would be better he play all remaining gamez to find his lost way..
