vvvslaxman Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 How many can be in the world cup squad? Is there a limit. Looking at our current fielding i have very little hope. Wonder if India can squeeze in someone like Manish Pandey as he is a game changing fielder. The catch of Sarfratz in the Asia cup is a case in point. As a substitute fielder he could be handy. Honestly i would even take him over this Biriyani. Jadeja is another excellent fielder. Can be carried as a third spinning option. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Neither Pandey nor Rayudu should be in the WC squad. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Pandey and Rayudu are similar type of players. They can be middle order accumulators, but not guys who can boss top-shelf bowlers. Pandey is by far the better fielder, while Rayudu is much better against spinners. If the team had confidence in Dhoni's ability as a reliable insurance policy from 40/3, they wouldn't need another accumulator in the middle order and would slot in a guy like Pant, or DK in the middle order. But the fact is that Dhoni's batting can only be considered as a bonus at this point. UrmiSinhaRay and profster 1 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I don't mean to say he should be in the playing XI lol In case a fielder walks off your replacement should be a gun fielder at the least. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

And let's be honest, his batting in LOI hasn't been that impressive either. He's young and very likely to get better. But needs more game time. He should have been playing ODI and T20 for the last year already. But instead team decided to stick with "experience". Link to comment
vijay50 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It is important to have atleast 3 very good fielders. Under Dhoni we had Raina, Jadeja, Yuvraj. Dhoni himself was no mug in keeping. The current team fielding is poor and this may cause potential exit in knockouts. All the more reason to consider Raina in 15 for WC. Link to comment
maniac Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We already have a specialist wicket keeper-Dhoni Specialist 25-30 run player- Karthik Specist Android- Jadhav Who apparently cannot bat and bowl unless Mahi Bhai tells him how Specialist Allrounders who are neither this nor that- Shankar and Pandya so why not assign the specialist fielder role to another useless cricketer- Jadeja Link to comment
flamy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Jadeja should be regular #12 Link to comment

Let us say you have a choice to choose between Pandey and Rayudu as a specialist fielder. Who would you pick? Link to comment
