[Lone Wolf]

Prediction:  Semi final Exit yet again or loss in the final.  Group stage game vs Saffers will be 50-50.  New & improved chokers under Chokli vs Old & weak chokers. 

 

Squad:  Chokli will play his buddies. 

Dhawan & Rohit will open rest of the line up is fairly predictable.  Absolute borefest. 

 

[Dery]

Vk as captain...harna hi hai toh why bother 

[maniac]

Expectation: Will reach the knockouts Semis at least 

 

Prediction: Will get knocked out in Semis at least

Indian selectors have the easiest way out for selecting the T20 squad - the IPL. Choose an all stars squad based on a weighted average from past 3 seasons. No ifs, no buts. It'll also provide a kick on the rear for the entitled India seniors who cruise along in 2nd/3rd gear in IPL with no threat to salary and place in the team. Institutionalize a system around this.

 

We might field an XI like this

 

Shaw

Padikkal

KLR

Samson/Surya

Pant

Pandya

K Pandya

A patel

Avesh

RD Chahar

Bumrah

Based on last 3 IPLs, Dhawan surely gets in as do Chahal, Shami and Deepak Chahar.

Will reach semis and then will probably choke as usual.

 

[bowl_out]

From the OP.. <out> Shardul, Axar, Kishan/Samson, Shaw

 

The rest of the 20 will make the squad.

[cricketfan28]

Hope we don't lose to our neighbors. Sri lanka is fine.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Expectation- Mess of opening , no.4 slot and batting position4

Predictions- Kohli post match press conference - We just played 1 hour of bad cricket but this doesnt define anything

If you are comfortable with Jadeja at 7, this is a very solid team for UAE condition.

Otherwise just put Washington/Rahul Chahar in place of Ashwin.

[nevada]

With selections and omissions that don't make sense, we will start off at a disadvantage as usual. What's the point in even discussing when selection itself is fundamentally flawed?

[Majestic]

What is the expected starting XI for Sri Lanka series?

 

Who are the fast bowlers? Will Bhuvi and D Chahar alongside Pandya be enough as it looks one-dimensional?
