As i dont think we need 6 bowlers also as Pandya batting has gone to dogs and bowling has improve a bit i would force him to bowl 10 overs than hiding behind 6 bowling option. BTW Tilak and Iyer can rotate their arm in worst situation but my preference would be to play 6 pure batters. I can see Pandya turning into Tobey Mcguire after bowling 4 overs. raki05 1 Link to comment
wazza Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 No point. India **** selection means we will be out in group stages. Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 H2H is 55-73 in ODIs. I thought we would have narrowed the gap a bit more in the last 2 decades. In T20Is it's 9-3 in favor of India, though Pak has generally been the better T20 side in the last 15 years. Link to comment

Now with their new domestic structure & a decent franchise competition... They will be tough to beat. Last 4-5 games have show cased the gap has narrowed down... And India making bad team selections will eventually cost them against Pak which wasn't the case 7-8 years back. Gollum and Sgattick10 2 Link to comment

At least in white ball cricket. Lone Wolf 1 Link to comment

So yes we will struggle vs everyone. Odi is much harder for pak to beat us. I still think we will beat them badly with full strength side. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Playing on this brown tracks require a bit of skill especially against proper spinners. This Afghan guy Naveed is turning fast and quick. Afghanistan has become a spin factory. wazza 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I really wish India would play Tilak and use him as the 6th bowler. What do we even have to lose? It's not like SKY has done anything in this format. It will be an absolute farce if both Prasidh and Varma are discarded without being tried out . The rest of the squad is pretty much Rohit's. Neither Dravid nor selection committee have much say. Kohli, even when he was captain, was an extremely selfish guy who would never bat at 4 to accommodate a young KL or another batter in the top order. He's not the best batter in the lineup now, so what is the point continuing to bat at 3 when his spin game has declined so much? The only reason to play Pandya , Jadeja and Thakur is so that these guys can bat comfortably at a risk free rate and they don't have to work on their bowling either. tweaker and Gollum 2 Link to comment

AuxiliA Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I am not as worried facing Pak in ODIs compared to T20s. Their strengths are more suited to T20 cricket. The longer the format the better we are. Link to comment

If we pick the right players we should thrash them. If we go with washed up cans, old farts and useless slow medium bowlers then yea we will lose. Link to comment

singhvivek141 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Gill Kishan Rohit/Kohli Iyer Tilak (6th bowler) SKY Jadeja Thakur Kuldeep Bumrah Siraj 5 bowlers...plus Tilak to roll in 4-6 overs. Jadeja cushioned by SKY and Thakur either side who can hit big Gill & Kishan don't have any mental baggage which seniors carry. Tilak and Iyer will ensure spinners won't find any comfort during middle overs, and then hope SKY for once get his act together and play like he does in T20's. Link to comment

Strangering Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Pakistan bowling is steaming right now. I hope our guys stay away from outside off slashes. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 We don't have any match practice. It's been ages since we played a ODI. Meanwhile Pakistani will have already played 4 ODIs on these pitches before they face us so they know the conditions really well. I wouldn't be too harsh on our boys as long as they pick the right team. Link to comment
