jf1gp_1 Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 Batting and spin are sorted. Now if they could get a fit Mayank and in form Umran into this team then it would look great. Vijy, MK55, deepdynamo and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Vickydev Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 I like that Surya shows flexibility in terms of batting position (something Kohli just refused to when we could have done with him trying to bat @4 leading upto 2019) Would like to see if Parag breaks into the first XI, think he is going to be a mega LOI player for us deepdynamo, Tillu, Hell Raiser and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

I say we are sorted in that respect as well. Don't have a good feeling with Umran though. raki05 1 Link to comment

Yes bowling side also try to bowl in block-holes and try to restrict run-flow but this should be concerning. we need someone like dhoni for death over hitting @maniac @vvvslaxman maniac, nevada, Tillu and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted November 16, 2024 Author Share Posted November 16, 2024 The flexibility of this new gen T20 is so pleasing to eye. Don't want Gill and Pant to be back as 'automatic selection' and ruin the balance and intent. Gill was stat padding in Zimbabwe with a selfish inning like 65(45) while Pant is a total misfit in T20. Both can be a solid backup to the first T20 XI and should concentrate on the other two format. raki05 1 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 Indian LOIs team has always been Bilateral bully. Nothing suprising to me, it's just that younger players are performing so it is exciting. raki05 and tapandrun 1 1 Link to comment

This is a different mindset that attacks from 1-20 overs. Need4Speed, Vijy, raki05 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment

Nothing suprising to me, it's just that younger players are performing so it is exciting. They do. But this one i like them for the philosophy they embrace. There is no way in hell Kohli would have batted like Samson or Abhishek or Tilak. He would go at his own pace. velu and deepdynamo 2 Link to comment

So our batting will stop at 7.. thats a problem.. Hence we will have to promote someone from 5/6th bowling option as 4th.. we will have lesser penetration in that case.. with this bowling we can have most penetration but will lose a batting option..tough call.. Boom Arshdeep Mayank Mystery Spinner Pandya and co.. if we have swinging conditions for first few overs..Arshdeep can be deadly at top..then I am fine with one less batter..

Nope, we should not compromise on our batting depth and we've to have depth till 8. Bumrah, Arshdeep and Varun C should be the 3 main bowlers. Others should be Pandya, Nitish Reddy, Axar, Parag, Rinku and maybe Abhishek. These should be good enough to give you 8 overs amongst themselves. No need to go back to too many specialist batters or bowlers. Vijy 1 Link to comment

I would agree with this philosophy, but would pick 3 outright wicket taking pacers and have spin bowling AR. but our templates are pretty similar. Link to comment

I don't want to compromise on batting depth by adding specialists. In shorter formats batting depth and multi-dimensional players wins you tourneys. I don't want to go back to Kohli or RCB days with 5 specialist bowlers and tail starting at 6 or 7. Link to comment

Have 3 specialist bowlers (all pacers) + ARs for spin/pace. Specialist spinner is useful only when T20 takes place in Asia maybe Link to comment
