Turning_track Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Boult is extremely vital for NZ, I wouldn't complain if we take a safe approach towards him at the start if we are batting first. Lockie Ferguson, their spinners could be dealt with if we play sensibly. Hoping Guptill's quiet run continues. Link to comment

Amit228 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Toss will be eminent.. if india wins the toss nd bats first.. then match will be decided in first 10 overs itself.. if India losses rohit nd kohli inside first 10-15 overs to a rampaging Boult nd Ferguson then 90% match will be lost.. nd if we survive the opening spell.. then we will be victorious.. that being said kohli won't mind chasing too as the team will have prudent idea of what to score nd thereby scoring appropriately wrt to target. mishra 1 Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Ok first thing first, it will be overcast in Manchester tomorrow and chances of rain. But Kohli must still bat first if he wins the toss. Remember against Pak he also wanted to chase. Big game...bat first and bat well. Overcast conditions meaning Trent Boult can become deadly. He already troubled India many times and especially Rohit struggles with left arm angle with ball coming into the pads. We must play out Boult safely and then take advantage of remaining bowlers. No throwing away wickets against Santner who always troubles India. BBS (Bhuvi-Bumrah-Shami) must play considering overcast conditions and fresh pitch. If possible, include Mayank Agarwaal at no.4 Rohit Rahul Kohli Aggarwal Dhoni Pant Pandya Chahal Bhuvi Shami Bumrah Go India Go Link to comment
YCCC Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Rain is back for the semis as I have been predicting for weeks (give me a job Met Office) You may get through without having to bowl a ball zen 1 Link to comment
ViruDilSeKhelo Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I will not watch Boult open the bowling if we bat first, after 5 overs I will take a seat and watch if no wickets have fallen. Link to comment

Of the two, I reckon that VK has a tighter technique than Rohit. If Rohit falls early, I am concerned that the floodgates will open and the middle order will be exposed too soon. However, it will depend on conditions and I'm 100% certain that TM will not juggle the batting order at this crucial stage. Adorable Fan 1 Link to comment
GautiMaan Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Jadhav is back in all discussions however he was left out for a reason.If India do pick him he must bat at no.4 ahead of Pant and Dhoni.He is useless any lowerSent from my SM-C701F using Tapatalk Link to comment

Agree that, if Jadhav plays, he cannot bat below 4 or 5. He is quite problematic at 6 and useless at 7. Link to comment
