People were laughing before  2019 world cup about NZ  when I stated NZ has all bases covered and have no such weaknesses. Samething applies to their test team they have all bases covered.The only  way India will be ahead is if pitch is flat and both our spinners play the match.

 

Bumrah might be the best bowler from both sides but NZ bowlers are right there with Indian bowlers.Kohli in present form in not better than Williamson.

 

Convay looks like a world class opener.

Spin flat, bounce = india well ahead. 

 

Seam = n.z ahead. 

 

Final = seam plus flat combo

 

50 50

No weaknesses whatsoever. Underrated. For seam conditions they are easily amongst the best of all time.

If the pitch and conditions in WTC final are close to what we are seeing today then I won't mind Shami ahead of Siraj. 

 

The last time Shami played at Southampton he picked up 6 wkts in the match, For me now it's 52 - 48 between Siraj and Shami

Jamieson has a great batting average but is he really a good batsman? 

I haven't seen anything from him yet to suggest he is good with the bat.

He is Shardul Thakur level batsman.  He ain't Sam Curran or Woakes level.

David Warner in his recent Interview said that Aussies found Siraj very tough to deal with as compared to other Indian pacers. He said he was hitting difficult lengths & very hard to put away.

But if it is between him & Ishant..  I'll take Ishant with dukes anyday over him.  He is our best bowler in English conditions..

Ideal team to whoop n.z's ass. 

 

Gill

Rohitaa

Puji 

Kohli

Pant

Jadeja

Sundar

Shardul

Bhuvi

Siraj

Ishant sharma

Bumrah

 

Batting depth check

World class bowlers check

 

Team under kohli that is possible;

 

Gill

Rahania (good captain very ok)

Pant

Jadeja

Ashwin

Shami

Ishant

Bumrah

I think Shardul is a better batsman than Woakes... If he gets more chances he will surely prove himself.

No,  this isnt the ideal team. 

You can't replace Rahane with Sundar in a WTC final. Yes you can phase Rahane out over a longer period of time but not suddenly. Lol

Also why force players to play out of their preferred spot? 

Bhuvi hasn't been selected, so there's no chance of him playing

Shardul should play ahead of Ashwin only if it's a green seamer and the conditions are overcast, which i dont think will be the case considering that its an ICC final. 

You are experimenting too much in a Final.

England is fighting hard.  If they keep the lead down to 70..  Then there is some chance of comeback.

Frankly I don't want to see NZ win here. 

Looks like Kiwi lacks the killer instinct.

This wood and stone are such average bowlers. If india is well prepared we can smash these fools. 

 

Just have to watch out for Archer who can only play 2 tests anyway. Max 3 given his poor fitness. His pace drops alot after the first test. 

 

Curran and salah woakes are nothing special. They are good but not great.

Playing away from home is different. You need a balanced team. Team one is more balanced. Team 1 is perfect. Or just take bhuvi out and slot in ishant

 

Ishant siraj bumrah and shardul.
