Play all bats. Rest all pacers  including Pandya, even if that means if Thala nad Kohli have to bowl 20 overs

Kohli's "fast" bowling will be good to watch.

[MechEng]

No, Bumrah should play. Right time to breach the 100 mph mark.

If bumrah gets injured ,cup is over.

in order of decreasing importance: bumrah, rohit, kohli,.... dhoni.

if dhoni gets injured, our chances will actually improve I think

Dear Bumrah , you are probably nursing a injury yourself but as kind request can you please break jadhav’s toe ?

Bumrah needs a break maybe.Nonstop 8 matches.Need him fresh for semis.

Rest rohit too so we can play mayank and compare between rahul and mayank.

 

Thoughts?

Absolutely correct. Not only rest them but clear the bench. Everyone should get a chance to play.

[maniac]

Resting a player in rhythm is always a bad idea unless they have some niggles. You don’t rest an athlete just for the sake of it. 

 

If you are fearing injuries it can always be a freak occurrence like Bhuvi,Dhawan or Shankar (unless he was “niggled” out)

What guarantee that he won’t get injured say fielding on the boundary in the first over or the semifinals?

 

Unless Bumrah asks for rest you don’t rest him. He seams to have hit a zone in this game you want him to peak by semifinals.

Open the batting with shami and bowling with Raul 

[nevada]

Even Shami looks like he needs a break. He has leaked runs in the last 2 matches. But we can't have both of them resting. I would pick Jadeja over Karthik so that he can bowl 10 overs and both Bumrah and Shami can bowl just a couple of 2-3 over spells. This way, they both are around if we need them in the match and there's no pressure on them to bowl the full 10 overs. Of course, this is a best case scenario and SL can upset our plans as they have scored 300+ in their most recent match.

Rest Thala six feet under

or 60,000 feet. bury him in the mantle or in the core.

Resting a batsman is not a good idea. If he is due for a bad game I would rather it happens in a dead rubber than semis.However we can surely rest Bumrah. He already has some minor fitness issue i guess and the last thing i would want is seeing Malinga's yorker crushing Bumrah toes.

[GautiMaan]

I am not sure whether Rohit would agree to getting dropped,when he has a fairly good chance of being the top run getter in a World Cup.He already indicated that he will play the next game.However it will be in the team's best interest to give Mayank a go

 

Rahul

Mayank

Virat

Dk

Pant

Hardik

Dhoni

Jadeja

Bhuvi

Shami

Chahal

 

If Mayank does well perhaps Rahul can slot in at 4 in the semis

[SRT100]

I just hope India chase no matter what state of the pitch is. I also hope Kohli bowls or a 6th or 7th bowler. Better to practice now than in a final.

 

India need practice to chase big totals.

A fast bowler is always susceptible to following injuries.

1. Back

2 Knee

3. Shoulder

4. Ankle

5. Elbow

 

No matter what a pacer says, after bowling some serious spells, they allways feel it in atleast one of the above zones i.e. they hear the click. Hence you see pacers stiffening and relaxing their postures and love to hear that click sound which release/relaxes their muscels/joints.

Back to back matches in Edbaston would have taken toll.

 

Its correct that he can fall off his bed during sleep and injure but better rest key pacers just to avoid above possibilities
