AKane Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Despite India's renowned and reputed fast bowlers and incomparable spinners, the Australian batting is not trivial. Of the first 6 - Warner, Head and Green with one good session can change the outlook of the inning. Khawaja, Labuschagne and Smith are the others and are what they are. Any one of the above six can score a big hundred. Lower down you have Carey, Cummins and Starc who can bat a bit. It won't be easy for our highly rated bowlers of whom there seems no doubt about ability. Hopefully Khawaja is just playing mind games with this..... but I am concerned about Warner. https://www.rediff.com/cricket/report/khawaja-backs-under-fire-warner-to-score-big-in-wtc-final-ashes/20230603.htm SRT100 1 Link to comment

Enough of this coddling. He is not a teenager. He is 24 years old. Unleash him. He has ranji experience. Fast bowlers have a shelf life. I also prefer kishan over useless block of wood that is bharat. I better not see bharst in there. tweaker 1 Link to comment

Dravid to comment post game, how just making the final is a wonderful achievement. Such a backward way of thinking, where in Australia the only thing that matters is winning tournaments. The irony is that Australia winning the WTC will not even be celebrated, the next day the only thing that will matter is beating England in the Ashes. Jay 1 Link to comment

Adamant Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Please, don't include Ashwin FGS, he has never taken a fifer away from asia, and he wont do it now. We need 4 pacers, the bowling lineup look weak with just 3 of them. Gill Rohit Pujara Kohli Jaiswal(wont happen obviously)/Rahane Jadeja Bharath(Kishan will drop catches, believe me) Thakur Shami Umesh Siraj nitinbwj 1 Link to comment

Bhai tum rehne do, expecting unnamed unlisted players to play a one off test match in England against the best team in the world. Patidar who? you are now hyping a 30 year old guy based on some ranji matches? I have seen him in IPL and that was enough for me to deduce that he is nowhere near test class yet. as for Sundar, first let him actually recover from injuries, also his game against swing is very loose, he has potential but that's about it. Kishan will suck more than Bharat, do you not think that his game in challenging conditions is like a tailender's? Whats the benefit of playing him over Bharat, Bharat is definitely a better keeper and both will have same output in batiing, Kishan is horrible in both aspects. Thakur Ahead of Unadcut any day Rana? the new once in a blue moon 150 kph bowler, what about Umran, you guys wanted him to play earlier, right? Umesh has matured and there is no way Rana should play over him. The only young bowler I can entertain is Tyagi and he needs some time. Link to comment

Patidar is class. Rinks can play too. Ok no to kishen then get upendra. He is tiers above bharat. Rana haha again you are such a casual. He has bowled 135-145 consistently in 40 degree heat in ranji. He will be bowling insane spells in England. Insane potential. He is 22. Ready to unleash his potential. There are too many donoughts in the management who don't know how to pick a side. Then there are people like you amongst our fans who are allergic to picking young players. What has your lord done for us. Averages 27. Even ranji level player can achieve that. Coolie ghujara and rahane need to be sent to retirement homes. Period. We have way better players waiting In line. Again you have no idea about undacautta. He has height and bounce. He is at his peak right now. He still has a couple of years left In him. As a 4th choice bowler he is fine. Thakur has become super unfit. So unda is fine. Kishan defecates on bharat. Bharat is a useless can just like coolie. Absolute can. Can't keep and can't bat. Edited June 4, 2023 by Jay Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I am predicting a flat pitch which will turn after day 2.if that is the case our best path to victory is batting first and hopefully our 2 spinners will destroy the aussies. Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 If phattu Dravid has some braincells left... Kishan will have to play over Bharat. One off games like this require mavericks over safe picks. Link to comment
