This win vs England tastes sweet


Recommended Posts

Posted

After a long string of losses (effectively 7 in a row notwitstanding a No Result in between), this win tastes very sweet.

Be it return of Bumrah or Gill or Ro-Ko's presence or change in format/captain, Indian fans needed win to keep interest in the team going.

Exactly !

 

Plus I like the fact that this win was set up by 3 hit-the-deck  140 k+ Indian pacers who made the English hop and jump throughout and reduced them to 107 for 6.

 

Another such pacer and England would have been dismissed within 150.

I feel we are on right track in ODIs for the world cup.

- Prioritzing tall, fast and zippy fast bowlers. No trundlers or floaty ones.

- Maybe planning to use Axar as the only spinner in SA 2027. Believe, its a good move. Defensive but could be effective.
- Batting has expeeince. Need some fine tuning though.
- Add Pandya in the mix and we will get our balance back.

We need to fix few points though
- Decision on Rohit. And it need to be made fast.
- Obsession with bits n pieces like Washington & Dube( in ODI)

- Lack of left handers in Top 5

 

My Ideal XV for the World Cup, provided everybody is fit.

Vs a near full strength England side, yes it's a good win.

 

England are a poor ODI side so no real cause for celebration. They have lost 7 out of their last 10 ODIs.

More than a celebration the Indian team needs that win   regardless of whether England is in poor form or not

That doesn't matter... It's a side on upswing in Limited overs cricket.

Brook Archer alone can win matches single handedly in most conditions.

The win is also special as most of the players contributed in the win.

The allrounders Sundar and Axar did their role.

 

Prasidh, Bumrah, Gurnoor bowled well.Dubey bowled 6,7 overs .

 

The major concern was there is no one to take wickets in middle overs.

England can plan to see off pacers and target Sundar, Dubey, Axar.

Dube is only a stop gap in Reddy's and Pandya's absence.

 

Agree on the Rohit decision. Needs to be made fast. Jaiswal needs a few games under his belt if Rohit is uncertain.

I don't think Kuldeep is making the cut for the World cup. They might take both Jadeja and Axar, and play them based on condition. GG doesn't seem to like spinners who don't contribute with the bat.

 

Top 5 is fixed.

6-7-8 will be Pandya, Reddy/Jadeja and Axar

9,10,11 will be 3 quicks.

 

Ideally, Kuldeep can play at 9 if both Panya and Reddy play, but not sure if TM is thinking that way
