:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: wrong thread

[Shane]

Oh Fu(k, Apologies !

[Zelig]

Oh Fu(k' date=' Apologies ![/quote'] I blame SBL and Adhav anathai.:D

[Prudent]

Oh no!! :( Let's come back...that's better!!

[coffee_rules]

We will be like Eng, without Pietersen! Top heavy.. Dravid has to drop down to #5 to cover the bottom. Dhoni has to be #3. Raina at #4. What does SS rule say?

[Cricketics]

This is the last thing we wanted. Yuvi getting injured. I am glad that we picked Rahul Dravid for this champions trophy squad. We will definaely need the seniors to guide this team who is half injured.

[Andy]

From one of contenders we are back as one of the Underdogs of the tournament!! We need all our batsman to fire in this tournament else i cant see us clearing the grp stage!!

[jf1gp_1]

this is a bad; with gambhir coming out of injury we are in a tight spot. I feel team should look at moving Sachin to 4 if Gambhir is fit, kohli or kartik can open.

:omg: GOD Help us... :eating: Hope we still eat Pakistanis for Lunch

[Sachinism]

Pakis have suddenly got cocky haha

[satishg]

a big setback. It would be nothing short of a miracle if we go on to win this tournament without Yuvi. Anyway a good chance for Yusuf and Kholi to grab the opportunity and cement their place in the side. Hope they do it and hope we reach the semis atleast :((

[ViruRulez]

There is not much option left now. We have to take more batsmen now as our top batsmen are not there. The best available option for the exact batting order now are: Yusuf Pathan/Virat Kohli (If Yusuf is there as the opener and still cannot perform he can be kicked out in the next series) Gautam Gambhir M S Dhoni SRT Dravid Suresh Raina Nayar/Kohli/Yusuf Harbhajan Singh Amit Mishra Nehra/RP Ishant Sharma That is the only reasonable order I can think which might still be able to give a fight. Yusuf, Raina, Nayar and SRT can be used as the fifth bowler.

[TaNk]

why can't we get Veeru in? he's fit now ....

wtf....and no !! Sachin should open all the time. Why are we panicking ? come on guys !:icflove: ICFers knw that im prob no 1 yuvi fan, but hey !Our team is still capable of winning this trophy. I really believe it !!!TRUST ME ! anyway my XI would be: Sachin Yousuf Gambhir Raina/Dhoni (right/left comb) Dhoni/Raina Dravid (avg 51 with strike rate of 95 at this position) Kohli (could be shuffled if needded) or Nayar Harbhajan Mishra Inshant Nehra

Dravid should be no lower than 3rd. Or heck let Dravid/Tendy open (last time they put on nearly a 100 partnership, and Dravid has the highest avg in SA vs other teams), and Gambhir should come 3rd.

[gs]

Dravid and SRT should open. Let Gambhir handle the middle overs. Nitro Raina and Dhobi can provide the thrust. YK can do whatever he does at the end.

that is a bad idea.dravid would waste away 15 overs of powerplay.GG can score a run a ball,Dravid cant.

[gs]

Have a feeling Gambhir may not be well equipped to handle the new ball attack in South Africa. Plus he handles the spinners really well. Even if Dravid can maintain 7-0-80% SR and play a longish innings, it will still work out fine.

delayed response! naaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bawling: damn poyz are prolly celebrating!! :hitler:
