Playing Pandya at 5 to accommodate passenger DK : main cause of this disaster

[Number]

Lets be honest < 200 was never going to be enough on this ground.

Pandya was always going to be exposed at no. 5, he isn't someone who can bat at that number.

Then DK did his part to not complete 2 catches.

Another ICC trophy hopes down the drain.

Thanks Rohit, Thanks Dravid

narrow escape, now I hope for an upset in semis.

Pandya should play only the 1st game of every multi nation tournament.  Coz he is bound to fail in every dept after the 1st game.   We hv see enough of this.  Starting with Asia Cup. And now 75% of this WC is done.  Same pattern continues.

Pandya has done a good job with bowl but has been disappointing with bat. Given how much Rohit relies on him for 5th-6th bowling option, we perhaps are better of playing an extra batsman instead of Axar. We have picked one spinner extra in this tournament.

Still there is time to discard karthik and ashwin. I hope both does not play vs zimbabwe
