Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 We have got a solid opening pair, although Jaya is looking a bit rusty I am sure he will come good in the upcoming games whereas Sachin is looking more like what Jaya was in last season (*touch wood*). Good news is that JP duminy is finding his feet now but Middle order is our real concern, I would like Graham napier to come instead of Bravo (who is clearly struggling to step up the gas when needed). Nayar to be promoted to #3 and Takawale to replace Pinal shah My XI: Jaya Srt Nayar Dhawan Duminy Napier Takawale Bhajji Zak Malinga Kulkarni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Bravo has given key breakthroughs and its only a matter of time before he comes good with the bat. Today, he ran out of partners very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Graphics, Napier is a specialist T20 and I think he deserves a chance to prove his worth. He can come into the XI at Bravo's cost other firangi's cannot be touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hmm, perhaps - but I really think the team would miss Bravo's bowling, because he's gotten key breakthroughs. Maybe they can try Napier in the next game and then judge. And maybe its nerves, but Dhawal Kulkarni was not impressive today. Same to Dhawan. Would definitely want the team to rest Dhawan and try someone else in his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sharma Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If it was not for Bravo DC wud have scored 180+. Bravo is a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Warrior Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 napier should replace dhawan in XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would drop JP DOMINOZ and bring in Kyle Mills. also drop Dhawal Kulkarni for a while. Send him on a sabbatical to kurger park. Give a chance to the 04 Dhoni's Clone Saurabh Tiwari. He was part of the famous under 19 squad and is a destructive player. so bowling line up gets strong - Malinga, Zaheer, Mills, Bhajji, Bravo, Jayasurya, Nayar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 napier should replace dhawan in XI He can't because of the 4 foreign players rule. Napier has to replace some non-Indian. MI could risk giving Jayasuriya a break and draft napier in the team. Dhawan can open the batting with SRT. But dropping Jaya is a huge risk we would be taking.

We need to make our batting stronger and not fiddle with bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 This batting would be one of the better ones Jayasurya Tendulkar Dhwan Bravo Nayar Tiwari Mills Shah Bhajji Khan Malinga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Mills firms the batting. Mills can get brutal. He is a very big hitter. Check the team above I rather go for a specialist batsman/all rounder than depending on a tailender who can wag uncertainly, for that we have bhajji and ZAK.

Cricketics Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 anywayz, bravo is mahman of few more games. after that i guess he would be going to britland to be part of the preashes series against Ashed up England. So you would be needing a good international player to replace him anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Bravo is not going anywhere because he is "not" fit enough to play the test matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Delhi looks damn strong man. If they get in Amit Mishra and McG, that's like 12 silent overs to go with their top 4 in batting :omg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
