Ill play 

Hooda in place of Jadeja

And Axar in place of Avesh

Pant is a must with no leftie left so unfortunately it has to be for DK

First 2 are must do sort of changes now. Will give us really good depth in batting.

Pant I still think can do well at the top. Rather than playing all 3 righties at the top better play a lefty.

Yes we do need a spin basher in middle order.  Pak spinners almost choked us last time. 

Chahal is below average spinner with zero variations but he will play still. 

Probably best option will be to play Hooda instead of Jaddu & Ashwin instead of Avesh. 

Axar is better against leggies then jaddu hopefully he bats better. Jaddu cudnt attack shadab

Won't read too much into Pak batting. HK bowling as expected was atrocious once they were under pressure. Full Tosses, Wides and juicy half volleys.

 

Pak's bowling is better than India in these conditions and we do not have a spin basher. Who will hit Shadab and Nawaz for sixes? KL's manhoos presence in this team makes it all the more difficult. Drop him in middle order and open with Kohli. I will take a 35 ball 50 from him. Pant has to play. Avesh might play again to execute short ball ploy. 

What is funny is they are planning for short ball tactics but only picked 3 seamers in the squad :phehe:

 

How is our management and selectors so out of sync?

I am not sure Axar has played in such a high pressure game...  He did win us a game with the bat vs WI outta nowhere.  But I highly doubt he can hang round for long.  Perfect for a 15-20 ball stay though.  Can score quick 20-25. With the ball more trust on him than Jaddu

I reckon this same reason will prompt India to play Pant...

I really don't understand why they picked Ashwin for this tournament. Can understand Bishnoi as backup for Chahal and keep him on his toes but what is the point of Ashwin? His time as a white ball bowler was over half a decade ago. Could have easily picked an extra pace option in his place. Clueless selectors and TM.

We need to split the top 3 and can afford to play only 2 of them.

 

In 2012 when we toured Australia, MSD ensured top 3 of Sachin-Sehwag-Gambhir dont play all together and rotated them for team's sake. We went onto win that tri series. That is called guts and leadership.

 

Not sure if either Rohit/Dravid has the guts to do it. Infact Rohit himself is a part of top 3...so most likely he wont :laugh:

Good luck with Super fast bowlers and super agile fielding trip of Bhuvi, avesh and Yogi chahal. Pakistani must be shivering :afraid:

Blame those andh Dhritarastra selectors. Who goes to a tournament with 3 trundlers and then adopt bouncer strategy?

 

Its beyond belief.

We didn't even reach the final of that tri-series. :giggle:

I watched last few overs of Pak batting against HK. Last over first two deliveries were around shoulder and batsman didnt know how to handle them. 3rd delivery he tried the same but ball didn't bounce and was in the slot to be tonked , after that bowler lost the plot. Given what we saw in first t20 i wish we had an Ishant like bowler, pak lineup might have a short ball problem. 

Majority of Pak wkts in the first match were of bouncers and short pitch deliveries

You're talking about the 2012 one. 

 

We won in 2008.

Parkies are such little bitches lmao. Can't face bouncers at all. Their bowlers are 3rd rate fodders outside u.a.e. 

 

Just need to survive the initial onslaught of indicting yorkers.

Ffs, Shahnawaz Dahani ruled out. Knew he wasnt 100 percent. Pakistan is done pretty much with most of the first choice attack out with injury. 
Winning the toss ever more crucial.
