Sandeep99 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Manjrekar apparently likes the move - Shreyas Iyer at 4 ahead of Rahul. You know it's a shi* move when he backs it. express bowling and raki05 1 1 Link to comment

nitinbwj Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 10 overs of spin left.Nothing less than 100 would suffice. Iyer should get his eye in quickly and start hitting spinners. express bowling and Cricwala 1 1 Link to comment

Yes. And thats a fair view. Especially since there is little to work with on this pitch for bumrah. Its hard to keep up the form he had last season. 300 isnt enough i agree. But getting past that from here isnt complicated. The lineup you have can do it. 17 minutes ago, Sandeep99 said: Unlike Australia, England, Pakistan, Lanka, West Indies, South Africa, Kiwis, Bangladesh, Afghans, Zimboks, Irish - India doesn't have anyone who can make use of platform and hit. Don't you see the problem? I dont disagree. But you dont need a guy who can hit 4 6's an over consistently to get to 300. 2 guys who can get 10-15 an over hitting 4's and running well with good placement for a few overs at the back end can also do that. India do have weaknesses. I dont think im the right one to talk about them here... all teams do. But the team is still solid. Gameplan is... ok. The gaps will get filled in time. Its very very very rare. To have a perfect team. Only 2 teams in history have ever had one imo. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Real McCoy Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Bad luck for Dhawan here. It was an instinctive shot. Atleast he was into upping the run rate rather than play safely that too in his 90s unlike certain players. Well played Missed out on a big one though. We need atleast 350+ This wicket is flatter than Keira Knightley's chest Link to comment

Probably it's new to you but not all talented youngsters are selected in this part of the world. If they are, our useless captain ensures they don't settle in by killing their confidence.

Forward Defence Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We have to score about 70 + in the overs 30-40 without losing Kohli Link to comment

Good innings from GABBAR. Yes, we can see that or see how quickly KL bats up front. All depends on team requirements, if KL can attack from get go, maybe Rohit needn't have played that slog sweep and cld be around to kick off around now? Not taking away from Dhawan's knock, but this relatively risk-free model of our top 3 in first 25 overs does have serious downsides against strong teams. raki05 and Mosher 2 Link to comment
raki05 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Iyer game against pace is beyond pathetic..he needs to play more and more against pace. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Stan AF Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Iyer gaali. Zampa to Iyer, OUT, scratchy knock comes to an end with an ungainly hoick. Pressure was building ever so slightly on Shreyas, Zampa floats this one up on a fullish length on middle stump, the batsman goes for an impetuous flick heave across the line and misses badly. Middle stump knocked back. Not a shot you'd be putting in an Instagram story. SS Iyer b Zampa 7 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 41.17 SS Iyer b Zampa 7 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 41.17 Cricinfo as usual nails it.
