Who would you rest for Ned game?

Bumrah should play.  He is returning after a long layoff and 10 days without a game may stiffen his body. 

in that case, all 3 can play. I suspect that he will actually be tired. a break would be good for someone coming off an injury (we saw how gill did immediately post-dengue). shami has had a break in the first half, so he can play.

[Frustrated]

For the game against Ned: Prasidh, Ashwin & Thakur should be IN.  Bumrah, Shami & Kuldeep OUT(rested)

Prasidh must get a game  What if he is needed due to a niggle.

then Lord will step up, and showcase his greatness; in seriousness, prasidh should play. I would rather have siraj play instead of bumrah. I know he looks in good shape, but I am still concerned about fatigue manifesting in the WC at some point.

1 game after 7 days won't cause fatigue to any player. Match practice is more important before KOs. 

 

If there wasn't a case for getting ready the 3 injury backups, I would have have played the same 11.

 

And Dravid has made it clear that Prasidh is the pace backup and not Shardul  (  rightfully so ) 

[singhvivek141]

Prasidh, Ashwin & Ishan Kishan can be given a game.

One of Siraj/Bumrah can rest, along with Jadeja & Kohli.

 

Shardul is the neglected one in this case, but we don't have a place for him. Both Bumrah & Siraj can't be dropped as this will lower the bowling sharpness drastically.

[saneindian]

Players would have rested for 6 days after the SA game. Play the best 11 unless anyone has any niggles. Do not change anything at all, not least the bowlers who have been blowing away oppositions (they have bowled 80 overs across last three matches vs Eng, SL and SA!)

I would actually rest Siraj instead of Kuldeep. 

 

Kuldeep has barely bowled in a few games because matches against ENG, SL, SA got over quick 

 

Shami hasn't actually played a lot. Bumrah and Siraj have bowled in every match I think. So they need a break .

 

I'd like to play

 

Ash

Prasidh

Thakur

Kuldeep

Jaddu/Shami ( whoever needs less of a break )

I wish i can see a SKY ton

[Lord]

People saying 7 day rest but  semis is only 2-3 days away after Ned game. We can't afford even niggles in Ned game.

 

It has been a long tournament and fatigue is bound to creep in. 

 

Need them fresh for semis.

[coffee_rules]

Play with them all

[Swag]

I would not rest anyone, the full team should play.

The team had a break, went home etc., they need the game against Ned to get into stride for the semis.

Change the batting order around if need be.

Only reason they might want to avoid is potential freak injuries

That can happen during practice sessions too.

Far lesser chances in practice sessions than in actual match.

What Pandya did was very innocuous attempt to stop. He is totally out of the world cup. Why take chances? India needs every one fit and firing for the semi final. We can't rest everyone. I think the may play shami. Poor guy deserves a lot of wickets. Should have surpassed Starc already had he played all the matches.

But pandya is physically weak lacks muscle mass due to poor diet and genetics. Cant extrapolate that to everyone else

Its not just a seven day break.

 

SAf game ended in 27 overs, SL game in 19 overs.

 

So in last 2 weeks Bumrah has bowled 10 overs(5 vs SL and 5 vs SAf). So have Siraj and Shami.

 

They are more likely to get out of rhythm for the semifinal if they don't play compared to get hurt if they play.

 

Play the same team with same intensity and don't second guess oneself. If you want to bring in Prasidh - give rest to one of the batsmen or maybe Jadeja(bowled 9 vs SAf + batted vs both) ..... Batsmen batted the full quota vs SL and SAf. The bowlers are more than rested.
