Looks like Mayank has been brought into combat Nathan Lyon, provided we face Aus in the knockout

We can not loose our trump Card in this world Cup, Which is our ability to get opposition out under 270. Bowling should be strengthened in crunch matches

India is not going to change the opening pair, its just too late to do it now. India's strength in this world cup is going to be their bowlers.

 

I think its also too late to play Mayank, time will tell. Mayank/Jedhav/DK are not going to win a game nor are they going to get close to setting up a par score if Hitman and Kohli fail.

 

Top 3 batsmen are going to have to play the game of their lives in the semi. Game will probably be decided by the toss of the coin, if India chase, game is over.

 

6 bowlers of the quality of Bumrah, Shami, Bhuvi, Chalal, Jadeja and Pandya can defend the total but also make sure that England get only par or under.

 

KL

Hitman

Kohli

Pant

Pandya

Dhoni

Jadeja

Bhuvi

Shami

Chahal

Bumrah

Hope beer belly does as much planning as it’s done here .... plan for a chase (worst case).. don’t think India has it to set a target during a semi final.. 

 

kl , ro,ko, pan, Dhoni, hapa, sir, bhuvi, kuli, bum, shami 

 

joroy and bairstow .... open with jaddu. Hope those darts get one of them 

root.... kuli to get him on a sweep

eoin and stokes .... just hope Pandu gets lucky.. 

butler ....  full swinging Yorker ... bhuvi..

the rest .... bumrah better show up 

 

If England bat first ... with this we will be luck if we get em for 325..

Bhuvi

Kuldeep

Shami

Test the lineup against Sl and have them ready for Semi against NZ.

 

Aus will lose to SA

India will trounce SL

 

Ind vs NZ semi - India will coast to final

Aus vs Eng semi - End will be through to final

 

Ind vs Eng, lords neutral wicket 280 runs scoreline, bat first and win for India. Kohli poses with the cup marking the highpoint of the current era.

My preference: Rohit Mayank Kohli KL Pant Hardik Bhuvi Jadeja Kuldeep Shami Bumrah. I know the fossil will never be dropped, so most likely XI : Same as last match.

How did specialist fielder jaddu has become an automatic pick for some of us.  He is going to be bounced out by Archer in no time. Basically we will be having 4 dud batsmen and Bhuvi in the backend. Whether they score 300 or 350 everything has to be done by top 6 one of which is Dhoni.  We cannot go with the theory "he won't do worse". No he can do worse.  You have wage your bets on their skills not based on what they might do. We don't know what they will do. But you have to back their skills. Karthik's skill is finishing skills, handling steep asking rate while chasing. Loading up the team with 5 proper bowlers and 1 all rounder bowlers is overkill for a team like England. More bowlers don't mean more wickets.  They won't make drastic changes. They will have a look at jaddu, kkd (again) against Srilanka and make the call.

Need Jadeja’s darts on these slow pitches... He can get few LBWs...

 

Key is to get their openers early...

might not be a bad idea, Jadeja might compensate us not having someone like unadkut.
