Gill, pant , Rahul, shaw are special player. I knw rahul is woefully out of form but he wont be his whole life ......sooner it will come back

rahul is bunny vs swing and mentally fragile ..

rest all are fine

Rahane is much worse than Rayudu.

No he's not 

Though he's not a long term solution, he is much better than DUD -

if rohit stays there for 3/4 overs then we can assume that there is no swing

we can expect rahane to hold when pace bowlers are operating .. but again he is weak vs spin

but overall he will be a better option than rayudu

Bring back Jatin Paranjpe and Sujith Somasunder

Rahane cnt play spin

Raina struggles against 130k bouncer now and has been getting out to spinner to off lately 

Iyer- there are far more talented players then him, even he spilled catches in SA amd doesnt look that good against pace to be honest

 

Gill, pant , Rahul, shaw are special player. I knw rahul is woefully out of form but he wont be his whole life ......sooner it will come back

Unfair on him. Needs a run of 10 ODIs before being discarded but obviously after the WC now.

He opened in 2014 Eng tour, obviously he's regressed since then but of the 3 or 4 options available he's the best against pace/movement at front. I'm not advocating for him to open, just that he's better than Dhawan & Sharma against the moving ball.

open with rahane ..

move hitman to #4 

 

 

our middle order problem almost settled ..

hope spinners wont be screwing hitman at #4

Rishabh Pant should have been part of the squad

If Pant is selected we will have three WK in the squad

spot on w.r.t Shreyas Iyer.... Always feel he has been hard done by selectors.... What has this guy done wrong to be neglected this way? Has done fairly well for a  rookie. He is performing well in the domestic as of now. As far as my thinking goes , he should be given his fair share of chances  in tests too, in dead rubbers , against lower ranked opponents etc. A stretch of 10-12 inns.. W.R.T any rookie ,catch them early   even way before turning 22, then give a stretch of 12-15 inns chances not on a trot, but when ever the oppertunity arrives.Do this just simultaneously for 2-3 rookies at the same  time. And absorb permanently   into the team if any of them meet the required standards... This should be going on  .. This way  it can be ensured that   mentally toughest of them only can get into the team because the chances they get are not continuous, yet when ever get a chance they performs  well.This shows their mental side  of the matters.

Rahane is not even a short term solution. He's just not cut out for one-day cricket.

[wanted_desi]

Hey Gavaskar , its nice to see you here on ICF. 

[jf1gp_1]

if the idea is to throw random names then hey why not even consider pujara, he and dhoni can hold both the ends. 

[Sandeep99]

Better idea! Let's get in Ravi Shastri/Gavaskar and Kaif into the side. Mumbai lobby happy and specialist fielder better than Raina.

He should have been in the current squad instead of Gill. There is no planning or consistency from selectors.
