Ind bat first

SDP can be sent at #3 (Kohli should learn to adapt esp. in a dead rubber)

So so happy for Natarajan. Not even small town India, he comes from a village which won't even be on Google Maps, Chinnapampatti as per this LINK.... Father a daily wage worker, mom a roadside meat seller. What an achievement by the lad. From helping his family during financial troubles to rubbing shoulders with Smith and Kohli. 

 

Hope he has an amazing debut and goes on to become Indian cricket's greatest success story. Not just for the team, but for all dreamers from our villages and underprivileged sections. 

 

Also THIS, never wanted a debutant to succeed more

Quote

The fast bowler with help of his friends now runs an academy in his village, which handpicks rural players and gives them quality coaching free of cost. The Natarajan Cricket Academy at Chinnappampatti trains around 60 players. Among them, 30 to 40 players regularly turn up for daily coaching.

“The sole purpose of starting an academy was to create many Natarajans, who lack basic opportunities,” head coach N Prakash (36) told The New Indian Express. The academy has already unearthed a gem in G Periyasamy. Like Natrajan, Periyasamy also spent his days playing tennis-ball cricket.

Apart from investing Rs 10 lakh on the half-acre land, which was earlier an agricultural land, Natarajan also supplies kits to the players who train at his academy. Jayaprakash reiterates they are not here to generate revenue but only to spot the talent among rural youth and offer them a platform to excel.

Agarwal dropped or rested?

[Gollum]

Unfair to drop Mayank, Gill could have come in place of Dhawan.

Happy to see Kuly.

Good that Shami, Saini have been rested. Don't rate Thakur (those 10 overs ) but who else is in the squad? Stupidity to keep Chahar out of ODI squad.

This! Mayank is a far better fielder and is probably the future if he plays well. Why drop him but keep dhawan?

[Indwin]

We should win this one easily

[shychipmunk]

Dropping Mayank will dent his confidence ! Virat has never been good with youngsters !

[shychipmunk]

Good to see Ajay Jadeja in English commentary !

[Gollum]

Why is Dhawan playing when Mayank needs to be tested? I don't understand the thought process of this TM, are they judging him based on his knocks chasing 380-390? Had he tuk tuked his way to run a ball 60 maybe he would have played today. This TM ruthlessly taxes risk taking, innovation and unselfish approach.

Australia resting some players. Maxwell bowling 2nd over. This will help Dhawan and Gill.

[Adamant]

What is Dhawan doing? 

Do they realise that ind needs to score above 350.

safe play, kohli fears looses of today then think about future gains in todays loss. He fears if he drops his experienced player he might loose this one to
