R!TTER Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I said top 3, ideally KL should open especially with the form he's in but then neither Sharma nor Dhawan would come down the order or will they? Our batting order is anyways messed up, Kohli @4 is only like a band aid for a rotting corpse. I'd be really surprised if we make it past SF with any possible 11, from the current 15, we field out there. VT87 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Rahul might get the No.4 spot on basis of IPL form as Shankar has batted well below par and Karthik too hasn't been in form. Link to comment
The Realist Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hmm which is the better squad?... Link to comment
R!TTER Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Man to man this squad is better but we also punched above our weight in 2015, I think someone like Nehra in form would've been better than Mohit Sharma. Remember Kohli was out of form & Dhoni was already fading, the biggest problem for us was the fielding restrictions that made the WC a batting shootout on flat pitches! Link to comment
Suhaan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Jadeja ,the free loader again gets the cut They should have gone with Saini instead Jadeja is a wastage of a spot,sf would be a huge struggle, F Q selectors,it was rather on expected lines , msk.and co..the name is enough ,you cant expect them thinking out of the box,that jadeja on featherbeds of Eng ....carnage !brace yourself fans.. express bowling and maniac 2 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Three spinners to England is a strategic blunder. Instead they should have added one more pacer. The 3 spinners in squad hints that 2 spinners will be in playing 11 in most matches. express bowling 1 Link to comment

What kohli did wrong to demote himself for GOAT Rahul.is Rahul better player than kohli for number 3 spot its not for KL , but I feel Virat is actually best suited for No4 . He can win us more games from there . Link to comment

Pant vs DK was always going to be a 50-50 call. Frankly, I don't mind either because neither will get to play unless Dhoni is injured Link to comment
Suhaan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Its Jadeja whose inclusion looks more baleful express bowling 1 Link to comment

Better bat and bowler . Dunno if he too get a shoe in for Chahal praying for dhoni to get banned for cheating , playing when old or playing when incompetent . Any clause fine . Team balances out then Got it right didnt I ? Just felt though Saini on current form is better match winner . Now pray for dhoni to get injured . Pant as wicketkeeper would make it a very dangerous team Link to comment
bendit100 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 If we lose an early wicket, then Vijay Shanker should come at 3 and Virat at 4. Vijay Shankar is better at playing swinging ball then K L Rahul. Also KL Rahul should come at 5 as the ball is not swinging by then. K L Rahul is very good player but sucks in swinging conditions....by continuously sending him up the order in swinging conditions, his confidence has been destroyed. But he is better then Jadhav if the ball is not swinging as he can hit sixes and time the ball while Jadhav has to really hunt for the gaps with unorthodox and risky shots. Also Jadhav cannot hit sixes easily. So I would try out the following combo in our warm up games 1. Rohit 2. Shikhar 3 Vijay Shankar ( seems to have decent technique for swinging conditions) 4. Kohli 5. K Rahul ( power game better than Jadhav if ball is not swinging) 6 MSD 7 Hardik 8 Any spinner based on condition 9 Bhuvi 10 Shami 11. Bumrah Link to comment
