Austin 3:!6 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Okay so this is the last test and we dont play any until world cup. Now the focus shifts on white ball cricket and there is a lot to fix as far as Indian cricket team is concerned. We will be playing 3 ODIs against Aussies starting next week and should do fine. But the real test will be against Kiwis next month. They are a top ODI side at home and the way they are manhandling SL now, there is plenty for India to worry. But it will be also good in a way that undeserving players will be found out. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Stan AF 1 Link to comment

Aus & NZ will show us whether selectors & TM are right in their assessment of including experienced players instead of in form players. If MSD, Raydu & Kedar perform very well , then they should play WC also. If they fail and still seectors & TM go for them then, 1. Selectors & TM should take all the blame as these serieses showed their thinking was wrong . 2. We would be clear well before WC what would be result in WC. Good for indian criket in long run.

I read of certain players that provide "value" to the team in terms of advice and hence are needed, never mind that they suck at playing shots since some time.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Just saw the 2 games, both were high scoring n small ground Saalo ko lene ke dene na padd humari batting ke aage .........we have 2 x-factors in our bowling bumrah n kuldeep Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Totally upto the top 3 and the two leggies. Bumrah will rest and the grandpas in middle order will play selfishly when they get to bat. Was the ideal place to give Pant a good run anish2tweet 1 Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Remember, before world cup 2015 we played a tri series in Australia including Eng. Stuart Binny was opening bowling there But the thrashing in that series helped us to retrospect and we dropped most deadwoods from the actual world cup. Hope this guaranteed NZ thrashing will help us to sort our ODI team as well before the world cup. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment

We had Rayudu, Axar Patel and Binny in they WC team Comparing with that sqauad, looks like we will have the same core - Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit, Dhawan, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Shami. Among batsmen - instead of Rahane and Raina, we will have DK and Jadhav. For spinners, Instead of Ashwin and Axar, Kuldeep and Chahal All rounder - Pandya for Binny Pacers - Mohit and Umesh go out, Bumrah and Khaleel in. Link to comment
Adi BB Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We should have strengthened our middle order ,pant and pandya would have tormented nzl,now we are stuck with snails like dhoni ,raydud .their game wont work in nzl BrantFUGH and Mosher 1 1 Link to comment
chewy Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It would be a useful thrashing But unlikely, with Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli probably the best top 3 ever Only hope is NZ bat first and post 350plus scores Link to comment

But Kiwis have a reasonably good ODI formulat for their team. And will be a good test. For the sake of our WC winning chances, I really hope they bash us around and make us chase a few 360+ scores.

Our bowling is quite good, 360 is a possibility only if both Bumrah and Kuldeep are not playing Edited January 5, 2019 by SK_IH Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Kiwi grounds are where even someone like Ashwin becomes a six hitter so I wouldn't worry too much. Will be a good, close fought, high scoring series. Link to comment
