Holysmoke Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 There is a world cup starting in a month's time. You are the only selector for the Indian team. All players who are currently available for selection (not retired), are match fit and in form. What would your squad of 16 players look like?
Cricketics Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 TENDULKAR SEHWAG - V.C GAMBHIR Raina DRAVID YUVRAJ R.SHARMA DHONI - CAPTAIN HARBHAJAN SINGH MISHRA KUMAR I.SHARMA I.PATHAN. R.P SINGH ZAHEER KHAN SREESANTH
Cricketics Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 You need a reserve keeper' date=' ticz.[/quote'] dravid is the reserve wicket keeper. i don't want to take karthik in squad. Dravid, a solid middle order bat if needed , can be played over raina or anyone when not in form. a good decent wicket keeper too

DomainK Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Please give us one more detail to the hypothetical scenario which will help pick the right team: Where is the world cup being held?? And yes, I assume its a 50-overs world cup?
fineleg Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 wtf? wht did Yuvraj do to be demoted of V.C. What does Yuvraj Singh do as VC anyway?

sharma Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 we just had one in WI...move it somewhere else.....lol
DomainK Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Primary openers: Sachin Tendulkar (Batting allrounder) Virendra Sehwag (Batting allrounder) Middle order: Gautam Gambhir (batsman- In case one of the openers is either injured or rested, GG will do the opening). Suresh Raina (Batsman- Alternative no3) Yuvraj Singh (Batting allrounder) Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Captain, WK) All rounders: Irfan Pathan Yusuf Pathan Standby Wicket Keeper: Dinesh Karthik Pacers: Sreesanth Zaheer Khan RP Singh Ishant Sharma Munaf Patel Spinners: Harbhajan Singh Piyush Chawla Thats a team in which 11 players cal bat well, 12 players can bowl, two wicket keepers, five fast bowlers to chose from, two good spinner- one offie, one leggie.
Willow_on_fire Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 What does Yuvraj Singh do as VC anyway? should he start re-arranging the field set by MSD since he is VC?...your logic is funny...:--D

Murali Kartik is a spinner, I'm guessing u meant Dinesh Karthik.

cowboysfan Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 you guys dont like rohit sharma?.he is still young and once he works out how to rotate the strike from the get go he will make a excellent no 3 or no 4.I think he can play on any kind of pitch and he is a good hitter too.I want him to be a close like michael bevan was-a guy who can finish.he needs more domestic cricket though.
