[The Hound]

 

this has made me a lot more confident about the team's chances in the world Cup.

also no Chahal

Chahal should have been there in place of Axar

8.5/10 marks for selection
 
Good one
 

• Dropping Dhawan
• Dropping Chahal
• Inclusion of Varun
• Inclusion of Rahul chahhar
• Inclusion of ashwin
• Inclusion of Kishen

 
No complains in batting
 
Bad ones
 

• Non selection of Siraj
• why Shami ??
• Deepak chahar deserved to be there
• Why 2 similar kind of bowler in 15- axar n jaddu ( shud have been only 1)
• Thakur shud have been in 15

 
Not happy with pace attack , spin attack is perfect

Not should have been only one, should have been only Jaddu.

I don't underestimate his bowling, but Krunal's batting is better. 

 

I feel that selectors have gone for specialists, which is a consistent pattern with Indian selections even for T20.  But in T20, more often than not, its a batting shootout, and having a guy at #7 who can put up a 30 ball 50, or can come in and give you that cameo of 25 from 12, has value.  

 

Axar can slog it a bit, on his day, but not reliably.  

 

Yards the better bowler, no doubt, but I'd even go as far as saying that in t20 cricket, I rate Krunal the batsman bit better than even Jadeja.  This is not to say I am a Krunal fan - he's a quintessential bits and pieces player, just about barely adequate with either skillset, but in T20 such players often end up making crucial contributions over the course of a WC.  

Krunal has good temperament and a competitor. People may make fun of him but he isn't a bad T20 cricketer

As usual many clueless Indian fans on SM are shocked at the squad..  These same people were dancing when WC 19 squad was selected..

BC Chahal Aur Dhawan ki performance ka pata hi nhi inko?

2016 squad: Rohit, Dhawan, Rahane, Kohli, Raina, Yuvraj (replaced by Pandey), Pandya, Dhoni, Ashwin, Jadeja, Bhajji, Bumrah, Shami, Nehra, Negi

 

6 batsmen, Pandya + Jaddu, 3 spinners, 3 seamers

 

Rohit, Clown, Pandya, Jaddu, Ashwin, Bumrah in the squad. They played all 5 matches and other than clown, all had a forgettable tournament.

 

SKY, Pant, Kishan, R Chahar, Varun and Axar - hope they bring a lot of new energy to the squad.

People have short memories. Don't go that far in the past.

batting kaise karega waha? Already looks like a hack

[RajBan]

One of Deepak Chahar or Thakur should have been there. I am not sure if Shami is a better T20 option than either of them, particularly when we consider that Chahar and Thakur can score some handy runs at a decent SR.

 

Other than that not much to complain. Clearly the team has punted on spinners more given its in UAE. Thats infact more of a reason to play Thakur ahead of Shami in those sluggish pitches.

[rkt.india]

It's a very poor job by selectors in terms of spin options. 5 spinners what the duck! Selectors have ducked the responsibility of selecting the spinners on TM. Selecting too many spinners is useless. In the end, you will play 2-3 and it's not a long tournament, so you will have to stick with these 2-3 spinners. 5 is 2 too many. Could have kept in the reserves. Shardul right now seems to be a better option at 7 than jaddu.

[RajBan]

Its important that we have a core of Ishan, SKy, Pant and Hardik from 3-6. No point in playing all three of KL, Kohli and Rohit. Infact given the form, Kohli could have been that non-playing mentor instead of Dhoni.

[jalebi_bhai]

No Dhawan  

[RajBan]

Getting Dhoni - Is it a marketing gimmick or Dada/Shah pulling legs of Sastry/Kohli?

[anish2tweet]

 
And thts where the errors of Siraj & Lord may get corrected .
Only fear is if Chahal bowls well .

What's wrong with Chahal's performance? He did well in SL

Rohit and Kohli are not going to set anything on fire. Tuk Tuk players.Also, Shardul should have been there. He has this habit of taking out gun players. Siraj bowled brilliantly in IPL. Have they forgotten the over that he bowled to Russel who had no clues. Shami will be tonked.

Natarajan in place of Shami could be one final swap

[Sgattick10]

So Boria is indirectly saying Dhoni could be the next coach 

[Gollum]

Our opening fixture is against Pak. So fully expecting Hafeez to chuck merrily before being handed out another ban.

Surya & Pant will take care of him...  If he bowls in the PP which he likely will as he did in WI..  We got KLR & Rohit who are decent against finger spin. 

 

[vivek04]

Thakur should be selected in-place of axar. And deepak chahar for bhuvi.
