I think pandey should miss out. he is a beast in domestic, but has not stepped up since his first 5-10 matches in ODIs.

Hope he has worked on these 2 aspects. His intent, scoring rate and six hitting ability are big pluses. In the current Indian team, who doesn’t?

Anderson made him his bunny in the first tour and even in the second tour while he scored big, there wasn’t any knock of the same quality or conviction that we were used to seeing from say Sachin, Dravid or Ganguly (in England) from back in the day. He had chances but obviously good for him to make it count and won’t take anything away from him. He is obviously the best bat in the team by some margin. raki05 1

Rat is still a much better player of the moving ball in comparison to VVS and Sehwag, both of whom are Indian ATGs. I like to diss him as much as the next person, but there is no need to put him down for unfair things. yes, he got chances in the 2nd tour, but he capitalized on them and showed good temperament (except in the last innings of the test, where he choked). express bowling 1

Kohli has scored lots of runs and has high averages in South Africa and NZ too, where the ball moves a lots.

Maniac seems to want VK to become Stewie. This is asking for the unrealistic - it is becoming more clear by the day that Smith may be a once-in-several-generations type of talent (assuming his trajectory does not fall off too much). express bowling 1

As for Pandey, he's turned it up a notch in domestics. That's all he could do and 5-10 matches is not nearly enough to discard a player. he will probably in the mix in A squads and so on. But I would rather see Mayank, Gill, Iyer more because former 2 have gotten zero chances and the latter has done very well in the limited opportunities he had. express bowling 1

It was a solid knock but strike rate was rahanesque at #4. When he tried to up the ante, he fell just like that person. Still he is young and has potential so stick with him at least till the next world cup. Edited December 16, 2019 by WC2011INDIA

Not a concern, Iyer's career ODI SR is 100+, even in FC it is Sehwag-esque. Can effortlessly play at that tempo unlike other #4 contenders.
Gollum Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 8 innings, 5 50s, avg 52, SR 100+. How was this guy not in our WC squad? What a * up by MSK . Even had he not fired, it would have been a valuable experience for 2023 !!!! nevada and ExtremeBrainfade 2

putrevus Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I was so wrong about this guy too, he should have been given extended run before world cup and should have played at no4.He is what is missing from this odi team.If early wickets fall. he is a batsman who can handle the situation and keeps the match alive.With experience he will start making hundreds too.

ShoonyaSifar Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Another one of those young players who the TM showed zero faith in. Was lucky to get a break after that and immediately grabbed it as expected. The risk of being destroyed by the current TM will continue to be there. By the looks of it, he has a mind of his own, something Kohli and Shastri absolutely despise. Let's see for how long they continue to back him. Cricwala, raki05 and nevada 3

putrevus Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 How the heck did TM get Rayudu to play so many games at no4.Rayudu never looked like an international batsman to me.Iyer is far better than Rayudu. Frustrated and Gollum 1 1
Real McCoy Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 He had his chance yesterday and he dropped it just kidding. That was a bad miss though. But fielding can always be improved. He is a prime candidate for LOI #4. I don't think there's anyone better than him. If the Tm has any sense, they would back him for some time until he gains confidence. raki05 and Gollum 1 1
