India's big challenge would be adapting to Australian pitches: Vikram Rathour

 

Who made this guy batting coach. If Indian batting cannot adapt to Australian pitches in white ball cricket then they should shut everything.

[coffee_rules]

Arshadeep and Pant for Bhuvi and Pandya

Chahar for Bumrah

Chahal out for Ashwin

[IndianRenegade]

Bumrah rested again with a niggle, has his return been fast tracked? This is bad.

[Number]

Bumrah again injured?

 

[zen]

No Sir Don so will try to remain neutral! 

[coffee_rules]

Rohit winning tosses in Bilats, will exhaust all luck and lose crucial tosses in the WC

Looks like he will be played only in the must win games. Must say he has been wrapped in wool by management. Must deliver in big games at WC.

I reckon SA will be tougher than Aus, all their batsment play at hyper S/R's.

They are bit weaker than last time. Bavuma in and RVD out

[putrevus]

I would drop Rahul and get an allrounder in to give extra bowling option.

[coffee_rules]

Arshadeep, Harshal and Chahar. 
I want to watch the movie Need for Speed!!

[Number]

Surely they cant play with only 5 bowlers..unless Kohli is 6th bowler

this and chasing is no good prep for world cup..

Even if the lose while setting up totals..they need to keep trying that and put bowling under pressure to defend..

else yoj are just fooling yourselves by chasing..

No BUmrah, no chance of defending with trundlers

I am officially worried about Bumrah,maybe he should not be playing T20s anymore and concentrate on Test Cricket.
