Austin 3:!6 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 India, to its credit, can boast of getting into back to back WTC Finals. Though we lost last time against NZ, India will look to turn the tide this time around. The opposition Australia however is tougher than Kiwis and we are expected to face some tough competition. Considering the game will be played in early June in England, expect the ball to swing a lot with fast bowlers getting assistance. Please discuss your strategies, what would be your side, how can we beat them etc. Link to comment
Tibarn Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Our bowling is looking weak going into the match, 3 of the members of the bowling attack Shami, Jadeja, and Siraj have poor records in England. Lower order batting will be weaker without Pant as well. The team needs to make some out-of-the-box selections in order to win. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 My Playing XI: Rohit (c) Gill Pujara Kohli KL Rahul Saha (wk) Jadeja Axar Shami Siraj Umesh Link to comment
Norman Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 If we go with the usual manhoos XI with Pujara, Kohli, KL, Ashwin etc , then there's nothing much to discuss here. I really hope we atleast do something different and lose instead of the usual boring negative choke fests. Id go with.. Rohit Rahul SKY Kohli Gill Kishan (wk) Jadeja Thakur Siraj Shami Umesh I would ask everyone in the top 6 to go and play as fearlessly as possible and try to go at 7 RPO irrespective of the fall of wickets. There's literally nothing to lose. If the wicket is a bit on the flatter side, i would swap Umesh with Kuldeep. Link to comment

Pujara's 13(63) would be of no use either. If SKY comes off (somehow) , it would have a huge effect on the way our middle order approaches their innings. The likes of Kishan, Kohli, Gill can tee off. That is pretty the only way we have a chance. Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Squad: Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner Australia have named the squad already. Murphy is there.Hopefully these are Pujara- Kohli’s last 2 innings in England.. Hope they justify their selection years after after despite non performances… Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment

jf1gp_1 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Only question for me is will we lose on 4th day or 5th. If we can avoid innings defect that would be a win. Link to comment

Moochad Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 All the signs point to a Rahane comeback into the team for wtc. Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Rahane is coming back. Honestly, it might not bad that bad as he has shown form in Domestic cricket. His problem was spin mostly. Link to comment
mani sha Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Rahane plays fast bowlers well . In form he is as good as Kohli . No issues of having him in 15 . But sundar is more value at no 5 with batting and bowling . Link to comment
