As per CI, Pandya is unlikely to be available before NED game.

 

Then he shouldn't play semis. Same team should be playing as now

Spot on, we don't need any Stokes situation playing half fit player who is going to hurt the team more than he will help.

he needs to play the netherlands game and Bowl,no way can he just show up in the semis.

I think he is done, it will be too much to ask him to play in semis after missing so many games.

 

 

They are better off asking for replacement in my view.

Cricbuzz told as per BCCI source that Pandu would be fit for SA game on Sunday.

He will surely show up in Semis because I can't expect Rohit and Dravid having a flawless WC

[MediumPacer]

He is like nehra,always injured ,looks malnutritioned with thin bones.

Who will he replace if he comes back?

SKY might be an upgrade over Iyer.

 

SA, Australia and even NZ have good fast bowlers who will bully him with short pitch bowling.

 

Iyer has till SA match to prove himself.

 

Wish we could get few overs from batsmen.

His hands and legs are so small compared to his head and face. This is expected he will find it difficult to stay fit.

I hope they don't drop Shami anymore.

Dravid might have to move to Pakistan if he dropped Shami.

Saurav is the best in the world.

In 2019 he had similar stats he was dropped by bhuvi

Playing Bhuvi was not the problem, two spinners in those conditions was the bigger problem .Chahal was least effective.

 

Shastri and Kohli made many boneheaded selections like playing Kuldeep on green track in lords test.

True, none bigger than Shami not playing on a green top in overcast conditions 

 

We could have been chasing not more than 200 if Shami had played the semi final.
