cowboysfan Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Anybody got a final squad yet? Is Dravid in? why would dravid be in an odi team now?
Params7 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 why would dravid be in an odi team now? Because he's a good batsmen when it comes to regular ODI's? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaHn-mYWey4]YouTube - INDIAN INNINGS OF INDIA vs PAKISTAN WC 2003[/ame] That's just an example for some people who still think he's just a test player.
flamy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 But he hasnt played ODIs for so long now. They won't go back. They are preparing for 2011.
fineleg Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 If Tendulkar is not going to tour WI, they should consider Dravid in the squad. West Indies are obviously going to try and make it bouncy and attack our batsmen with short pitch bowling. We need someone like Tendulkar or Dravid to give the class and solidity to our lineup. Have a mix of experience and youth to get the transition right.

fineleg Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^ I am not saying "no youngsters" flamy - Have a good blend. Rotate them and keep someone like Dravid or Tendulkar in the 11. They will learn from their experienced counterparts. Also, training is different and a lot of it will need to happen outside the International matches.
Kohum Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Good for Sach. This should really be an opportunity to test bench strength and a few promising youngsters like Rahane, Manish pandey, Naman Ojha, Goswami etc.
graphic23 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Damn. :(( Would've loved for Sachin to play in WI.
