zen Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Just saw the scorecard. As has been suspected -> Ind Is short on batting except Kohli Tuktuk Sharma is a phoney. Dhawan is tolerated based on his ICC record. Dhoni is past his best. Apart from Kohli, other positives are Pandya, who looks brilliant when he is at the crease, + bowlers .... We should give more chances to likes of KL, who is hitting the ball well, Shankar and Pant. It is better to be late than never Edited March 5, 2019 by zen RAZPOR, Stan AF, tweaker and 1 other 3 1
zen Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 Just now, Nikola said: Why KL? Agarwal deserves chance ahead of him. I prefer Agarwal and Shaw but this is from those likely to be in World Cup squad diehardpacer 1
ShoonyaSifar Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 So how did we win 2-1 in NZ when Kohli was not there? Last 6 months someone has scored 1000+ runs, 4 100s and 5 50s in 20 ODIs, that 9 50+ scores in 20 ODIs, but he gets labelled 'Tuk Tuk sharma'. Only thing phoney is all such threads and the farce of an analysis that keeps getting presented. Nikola, Virat_Fangirl and Stan AF 1 1 1

His batting form has gone down due to his fitness & if he can't improve it then his time will come pretty early. zen 1

sergio04 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 kohli should have scored 150 runs of 120 balls. Selfish inning DHONI_FANN, velu, nevada and 2 others 5

India's bowling has gotten best and we haven't lost series or alot matches in decline of openers. That's great thing. They can get back to their best in worldcup. Due to this our middle order got good match practice too. Edited March 5, 2019 by Nikola

Fitness is a worry but that doesn't take anything away from how he's matches Kohli almost equally in last 18-24 months. DHawan has fallen off the cliff in last cuple of months but overall, he's been not too far behind as well. To Say Indian batting = Kohli is an insult to both Rohit and Dhawan's efforts over last 2 years. Nikola 1

His one bad series and people have proved how bad batsman he has been.

jusarrived Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Dhawans decline is a big concern . I was banking on him to step up during WC , but the way hes playing it dosent look good . Rohit though will cause more damage if he scores runs lol thats how good he is . Yup its all on Virat , it has been that way for 5-6 years now .
zen Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 2 minutes ago, jusarrived said: He looked like a tailender in SA bar one innings , its not form . Tuktuk has a poor record in MO. On potential, players like Pandya are a better test batsmen than Rohit and would do well in LOIs if they opened too esp. on flat pitches
