Street Smart Crap should be dumped


Recommended Posts

We need a hitter at 6,maybe Jadhav was decent for that role a few years back as his ODI/List A record is stellar,now he is not even good enough to win an IPL match.We did not pick him in his prime for the 2015 world cup so that was a bus missed and as always selectors bought him into the fold when his decline started.

For the world cup he has to play at #4 or sit out.

Jadhav,vs both are duds

In a batting shootout like this we should load this side with hitters

Imagine pant,pandya,dk in a lineup,this could have been achieved had they applied themselves with more intent but with Jadhav ,dhoni at helm you will mostly endup witnessing something like this

Yes. Drop a 34 yr old who averages 40+ at SR of 100+ for another 34 yr old who averages 31 at a SR of 73. Sounds like a plan.

DK 2.0 is much improved. Anyway he is not the solution but just the marginally better available alternative. I would open with Shankar and maybe play one of DK/Rahul in the middle order.

 

Pant is more suited to 5-6-7

Play Karthik instead of jadhav at no 4 play pant at five , dhoni at 6 and hardik at 7. This will hide dhoni poor batting since he will be batting with pant ,hardik he can take singles and give them strike

Only in T20Is. He remains crap in ODIs. Any way if he gets selected I hope he does well.

Let's be honest guys India simply doesn't have big hitters anymore. The days of having Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina and prime Dhoni in the same team have gone. The only guy who can score quickly now is Hardik. 

 

India's game plan under Dhoni used to be to post a high total and hope their weak bowling would survive the run chase.

 

Now under Kohli it's more like trying to score just enough so that the bowlers have something to work with. On a decent pitch, this seems to work. Ironically, on flat tracks India are in deep trouble against any side that has a couple of decen batsmen.

  Only MO guy who looks in good touch cannot come at 7 . Should come at 4

Actually beggars cant be choosers, with the squad we have ,the choices are Shankar or kdk lol ,what a fecked up scenario. 

Best way is to either bat him at #4 or bat pant @4 and then jhadav @5 .

He takes time to bill in so he has to bat up ,he cant straight away go for the shots ,dhoni shouldn't even get to bat lol

Can't field well.

That is a massive understatement.

 

This guy can't stop a ball coming straight and sloooowly to his feet.

Possibly the worst fielder I have seen. 

 

How can anyone be so bad and not do anything about it?

 

What is our specialist fielding coach doing other than being a very good human being and clicking pics with players?

He is basically there to dance, entertain the team and feed older players lol

We didn't develop single batsman since 2015WC, it was bound to happen. 

And  Dhoni sticking around long past his expiry date is the main reason. Kohli being the captain should have put his foot down and kicked him out like Dhoni did to Dravid/Ganguly. Instead the moron defends him every single time.

The entire middle order mess is because of having to accommodate this useless grandpa Dhoni.

I want DK to start against his favorite team tomorrow. Jadhav at #7 is useless, TM doesn't trust him to play long innings and always he is held back, since he hasn't bowled and can't field what purpose is he serving? We will get fresh pitches in KOs meaning we need more firepower. DK's ODI stats may be ordinary but we don't want him to build long innings here, his role is that of a finisher and should play only after over 40. Not much different from T20s when you look at it that way. 

 

This should be our batting order henceforth:

KLR/Shankar (if Rahul doesn't get his **** together even I can't support him any longer)

Rohit

Kohli

Pant

Pandya

DK

random bowler
