fineleg Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 this is an awesome batting lineup-has to be said:winky:.If Bhajji is your no 10 then you have serious firepower in you lineup. For that sehwag and GG need to find good form in the warmup matches :nervous:
vipin Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 For that sehwag and GG need to find good form in the warmup matches :nervous: If they dont replace them with Manish Pandey and T Suman :P
vvvslaxman Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Exactly Ojha is a good choice especially if a team has more right handers than left handers. If you play Pakistan it is better you play Ojha. Remember Misbha smoking Bhajji for 3 sixes with the turn in one over. Don't want that to happen.
vvvslaxman Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I dearly wish Sehwag bat for first 10 overs. He is one guy who never gets bogged down apart from Yusuf and Raina. All the rest are capable getting into a shell. So if Gambhir gets out they should send Rohit. If Sehwag gets out they should send Raina.
vipin Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 A T20 team has to be a balanced amalgam of hitters and crafters. We have Sehwag , Raina , Yuvraj and the Pathan to do the hitting and Gauti , Rohit , Dhoni to feed the strike to them.But 3 of them is a bit too many and one of them needs to switch. Dhoni is one person who can fit into the role of a hitter and needs to if india have to put in bigger scores.But he has this weird fear of failure. He can hit the ball but doesn't do it because he fears he will get out and instead prefers playing a run - a - ball innings , which is fine in ODIs but unacceptable in a T20

Rohit and Dhoni especially enjoys hitting as much as they enjoy batting
Ram Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Defending a T20 title is much harder than defending the ODI WC crown. I dont expect us to do it.
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Warm Up Games India vs New Zealand : T20 World Cup warm up match : 1 June 2009 India vs Pakistan : T20 World Cup warm up match : 3 June 2009 will they be telecast?
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Defending a T20 title is much harder than defending the ODI WC crown. I dont expect us to do it. Agree.i won't be surprised(but hugely dissapointed) if we fail to make the semis even.we have been pathetic in T20 internationals since T20 WC 2007.we lost to aus miserably in melbourne,struggled to beat a half-strength lankan side n then lost 2 straight to kiwis. only game we won convincingly was against Aus in Mumbai.
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 my XI against Bangla in batting order: Sehwag Gauti Dhoni Yuvi Rohit Yusuf Irfan Jadeja Ojha PK Ishant
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Missed out Raina ya ,he is a must for important games,this is an XI for getting outta form players in form n testing players for who to select in future games
someone Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 My team and really the best team for india atm viru gambhir raina yuvi rohit yusuf dhoni Irfan Ojha/Ishant bhajji RP The middle batting order could change according to the situation with yousaf being the trump card as he can change the game any time when in form Also we can play two spinners if it takes out that like this year ipl where spinners had fun in fast bowlers pitches
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 My team and really the best team for india atm viru gambhir raina yuvi rohit yusuf dhoni Irfan Ojha/Ishant bhajji RP The middle batting order could change according to the situation with yousaf being the trump card as he can change the game any time when in form Also we can play two spinners if it takes out that like this year ipl where spinners had fun in fast bowlers pitches the best team must include Zak.this is the best team: Sehwag Gauti Dhoni Yuvi Raina Rohit Yusuf Irfan Bhajji Zak RP
someone Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 the best team must include Zak.this is the best team: Well, he has not played for a while so at the moment Zak is no for me and his bowling style is different as in he does go for some runs when taking 1-2 wickets which the extra runs we cannot afford
vipin Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Sehwag Gauti Raina Dhoni Yuvi Rohit Yusuf/Jadeja Irfan Bhajji/Ojha Zak / ishant RP
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Sehwag Gauti Raina Dhoni Yuvi Rohit Yusuf/Jadeja Irfan Bhajji/Ojha Zak / ishant RP thats the whole squad except PK:haha:
Lord Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Well' date=' he has not played for a while so at the moment Zak is no for me and his bowling style is different as in he does go for some runs when taking 1-2 wickets which the extra runs we cannot afford[/quote'] I DONT AGREE.if he is fit he has to play.he has always done well in England. n his ability to bowl yorkers at death would come in handy.plus he can bat if needed
cowboysfan Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 i agree with lord and i would hesitate to play ishanth in any matches.lets see how he performs in the warmup matches.
