Pre-Match Discussion India vs SA

[coffee_rules]

England @ Lucknow

 

Seems difficult to chase. 

 

Aus barely chased 215 against SL. Miserably failed to chase 311 against SA. 
 

India should look to set a score and defend for a change

India needs to bat first for the practise.

Been hearing Ashwin may play and Shami will take up Siraj place in the line up.

This could have been such a banger if Eng were playing to their potential.

Rishi Sunak was supposed to come to watch this big game with PM Modi in stadium.

But Butler's team killed all the charm this game had.

Broadcasters may be taking depression pills already.

Really unlucky the scheduling was such that England should have been a real contender at the pivotal time of the tournament.

 

This is really almost just a meaningless irrelevant game.

Ash and SKY must play, we must ensure our squad is fully prepared for Finals.

Will this be a bare turning track,till now there was grass on the pitch, so it did bounce .

 

aus v sa the pitch had good bounce but pace was slow.

[coffee_rules]

What should be India’s playing 11. I would go with:

 

Rohit

Gill

Kohli

KL 

Iyer

Sky

Jadeja

Ashwin

Shami

Siraj

Prasidh

 

Give a break to BUmrah and Kuldeep A loss is good for India, will be second and play Aus in Wankhede. Avoid Pakistan in Eden Gardens and SA can pummel Pakistan

How about resting Shami and KL as well and play Shardull  and Ishan?

That makes no sense. They have got Prasidh in so he'll replace Siraj.

 

Ashwin's WC is over unless Kuldeep/Jaddu suffer injury. 

[cricketfan28]

Both teams will play freely so will be a good match. India should win

[rangeelaraja]

Alas...tomorrow is going to be our first loss, which is okay as long as we hammer Netherlands and top the group.

 

I hope our loss is marginal.

Loss is never good. 

[nitinbwj]

Lol at thr thought of we should lose, we will lose. We will win. Period. 

[nitinbwj]

SA this SA that.. Mark my post and shut me up if they manage to score more than 300 and win. We shall see. 

[express bowling]

My playing 11 ....

 

1. Rohit

2. Gill

3. Kohli

4. Shreyas

5. Rahul

6. SKY

7. Jadeja

8. Ashwin

9. Shami

10. Bumrah

11. Prasidh

 

.... Give a couple games to Prasidh and Ashwin in case they are needed in the KOs due to niggles to regulars.  And I am in favour of trying Kishan against Ned.

I actually want them to cross 300 so our batting will be tested

Preparing for a loss to see the positive side. Loss is never good. But. Haarke bhi jeet ki sochnewale ko baazigar kehlate hain!

They should rest Bumrah and Siraj, They have played 7 games non stop, although they had breaks in between. It helps to be fresh for the knockout games. This is a dead rubber anyway.
