I think their bowlinf has improved..Curran has the wide yorkers and topleybwoakes with new ball swing..and Rashid..not bad or as bad as we faced them in england

topley to Wc se kab ka bahar ho gaya , if they had topley-archer it wud have been a different game. 

 

Archer has number on rohit-hardik + his value at death and he doesn't give runs too 

Topley a leftie who wud hve trouble our top 3

You are right... Stokes instead of topley..dnt find his bowling that dangerous..he is more a defensive 5th bowler..

[vishalvirsingh]

my team-

1. Rohit
2. KL Rahul
3. Sky needs more batting time ,he at 3
4. Virat at no 4 
5.  Rishabh Pant
6. Hardik
7. Hooda will be the only Off Spinner 
8. shammi
9. bhuvi
10. siraj ...can replace harshal in 15 and play.
11. Arshdeep

5 pacers and Hooda for off spin

 

[SRT100]

Definitely want my PANTs ON for this game.

 

He has had 6 previous games v England of score in the 20s for the past 5/6 games. Nothing great, but that contribution is enough to give India that extra bump in their total.

 

He is superior to Karthik in glovework and this is where the decision really should be made.

It will be a batting shootout. Unfortunately Dravid's moronic selections means that we have no choice but to keep Kela and DK.

 

1. Kela

2. Rohit

3. Kohli

4. Sky

5. Pant

6. Hardik

7. Dk

8. Ashwin/Harshal

9. Bhuvi

10. Shami

11. Arshdeep

 

Not convinced we need spin. Chutiya team management will definitely drop Pant and play Axar instead. Chutiyas of the highest level.

No change. I believe Axar will have a role to play. If England get a brisk start and no swing on offer, Axar will bowl against Butler Hales in PP. Moreover Adelaide is really really dry, can't go with lone spinner.

Adelaide has had plenty of dry weather of late, that wicket will be slow turning.

Pant "may" win us a game. He may also fail again with the bat, but the thing with Pant is that he can definitely can turn a game. He is the better keeper too.

DK definitely will not.

[SRT100]

Traditionally India stick with the same winning combination.

 

They also wont mess with 1,2,3. They should but they wont. Indians are too superstitious.

 

While India's bowlers have been surprisingly good this WC, they could also be smashed, we need 6 bowlers.

 

I would have gone with 5 bowlers, but India lack any batsmen that can come in and not only win us a game but bowl a couple of overs.

 

KL

Hitman

Kohli

SKY

Pandya

Pant

Ashwin

Kumar

Shami

Chahal

Arshdeep

 

 

[SRT100]

Whats your team @express bowling  ???
 

Chahal will definitely play, you can take this to the bank.

 

6months ago, in English conditions took,  2/10 2 overs, 2/32 4 overs.

[Ankit_sharma03]

one leftie less 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Indian team top order weakness against left armer is known to world and willey swings to the ball. wont be surprised if England brings in willey 

Just send pant instead of KL, anyways KL scoring in such games has always been under doubt. Also he has been very tentative against left armers 

[Frustrated]

Actually, India are likely to miss him.  

He is the left handed Bavuma of Eng, 

[Chakdephatte]

Oh No 

[Chakdephatte]

Are teams in internationals decided and written beforehand or after the toss? Are changes depending on toss allowed.

Big blow for us. 

 

They'll probably bring in Phil Salt.

im assuming they ll continue with pant 

[Stan AF]

Woakes is doing good.

 

Don't think they'll bring Willey

[Downtown]

We paly Willey well. It's Woakes who has always troubled indian batters with his smart slow ball bowling. No way are they replacing Woakes.

Malan actually looks to score runs against us...  For some reason.  I won't mind a leftie out in a pressure game. 

Phil Salt is a tulla..  They will play him in middle order lol
