World Cup: India vs Srilanka - Pre match discussion thread

[Austin 3:!6]

I would play with this team:

 

Rahul

Rohit

Kohli

Dhoni

Pant

Pandya

Jadeja

Bhuvi

Shami

Chahal

Bumrah

[coffee_rules]

I think we need a 6th bowling option, but why Chahal over Kuldeep? Dhoni at #4 . He should come after Pant, Pandya and provide  "rear-guard" action with his crush, Jadeja.

No point playing 2 left arm spinners. So Chahal over Kuldeep is Jadeja has to play

I will find a way to rest  Bumrah, Sharma, Dhoni and Bhuvi.

I doubt they will do that ... they will try to top the group and play NZ if poissible.

Odds of topping the group are close to 0 now.

And why is that ? 

 

South Africa can beat Australia and we will beat Sri Lanka , so .......yes odds are not close to zero.

and ull play with one seamer 

BTW why does bhuvi need rest........he just came back

I would rest Bumrah if not anyone else. Agarwal in for DK, Jadeja in for Bumrah 

[cowboysfan]

We should try Mayank as DK has been a bottler for more than a decade,he doesnt deserve to play anything but T20s.

I thought Hardik was a seamer.

 

Bhuvi had hamstring, need him against England.

 

This game is about ironing out wrinkles and not worrying about the outcome.

our odds of beating SL are less than Aus beating SA. They are close to zero.

I like this. I wish they would make more changes but this is OK too.

good move but is the source trustworthy?

Hardik is a 5th bowler

Play him as main seamer on tracks where the ball turn square like we use to play ganguly

So he needs to be in rhythem rather then sitting on bench

I dnt knw what purpose does it solve to rest someone who is already rested 

Momentum is a key.......so loosing is never good . In LOI any team can beat anyone on a given day

[Sgattick10]

I'd rest Bumraah. Happy to see Mayank in contention, should open with Rohit, and Rahul @ 4

[SK_IH]

Pant scored runs @4 and now Rahul comes back to 4 

[coffee_rules]

Agarwal is not a SF option anyway. So, no point in playing him. Rahul needs confidence as he is most likely to open in Semis. 

So, Pant has proved to get some runs (some beautiful and some ugly) in both matches, so is definitely going to play in semis. We should not experiment and play who will be our SF team against Lanka.

 

KL, Rohit, Kohli, Pant, Pandya, Dhoni, Jadeja/Kuldeep, Bhuvi, Shami, Chahal, Bumrah.
