King Tendulkar Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Nehra might have bowled himself out of the starting line up at the World Cup with his performance over the last 4-5 ODIs. Munaf has done very well lately. Doubt it. He has been bowling like a drain for quite a while now. Yet seems to be undroppbale. 3rd game in a row with worst economy rate but guarantee will play 4th odi. Why not for wc the trio of Kumar, Munaf and ZK?????

That looks to be the most likely starting line up. But no point dropping Nehra in this series since Praveen is not here and Sreesanth and Ishant are not in the WC squad.
Cricketics Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Way too early to predict the starting line up, since the two warm up games against NZ and Australia will have a huge impact on players inclusion/exclusion from the first game in wc.

But cant believe he madeworld squad. Its like selctors have not even bothered watching him over last 18 months. His econmy rate is a disgrace. If you cant keep runs in check, no point bowling in odis.
Cricketics Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Lets keep it silent, we all don't kno how world class looking Zaheer and Munaf on these southa frica pitches, will be bowling on the Indian pitches in ODIS. Zaheer has been good, but not our best ODI bowler. It's hard for us to predict which 3 would be our first line up. Zaheer for his experience would definately make it, and then remaining 2 can be anyone.

If you cant keep runs in check' date=' no point bowling in odis.[/quote'] and who would you have in his place in the World Cup??? maybe the cry baby Sreesanth - whose economy rate is worse than Nehra............or RP Singh or someone new :hmmm: :hmmm:
Sid Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 and who would you have in his place in the World Cup??? maybe the cry baby Sreesanth - whose economy rate is worse than Nehra............or RP Singh or someone new :hmmm: :hmmm: Oh bhai,have you even seen Sree bowl in the recent odi series against kiwis ,if you would have seen then you wouldnt have been talking about this economy rate or whateve,he took 7 wickets in 2 matches and cut this crybaby crap

Based on how things are looking between Munaf and PK I would go with Munaf thus having the attack in Ashish, Zaheer and Munaf trio with the trundler Praveen warming the bench in Indian conditions. Then add to that Dartbhajan and you have what you have with this four pronged attack and hope that works out well for India.
Texan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Nehra is a pathetic choice in the WC team. He's going to be hammered for 6+ runs per over in every match he plays and on most occasions, will go for 8+ an over
Sooda Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 No, he dosent go for 8 rpo 'on most occaisions'. Nehra- as has been pointed out- has been one of our better ODI pacers. And if not him then who would you have in the squad??
Sachin=GOD Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Oh bhai,have you even seen Sree bowl in the recent odi series against kiwis ,if you would have seen then you wouldnt have been talking about this economy rate or whateve,he took 7 wickets in 2 matches and cut this crybaby crap yeah, the same weak Kiwi team which we absolutely thrashed and even against their crappy batting lineup his economy rate was more than 5.50
King Tendulkar Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Nehra is an all rounder now:yay:
Sachin=GOD Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Maine toh pehle hi kaha tha ki :--D ko underestimate mat karo.......bowling mein pitega toh bat se match jetaaega :haha:
pensionplan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 No' date=' he dosent go for 8 rpo 'on most occaisions'. Nehra- as has been pointed out- has been one of our better ODI pacers. And if not him then who would you have in the squad??[/quote']You need go take what the Nehra haters have to say with a grain if salt. No matter what he does the goal post gets shifted. But the bottom line is he will play in the WC and will open the bowling with ZK.
pensionplan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 We all know Nehra is our best bowler at the 'death' but little did we know he can also be our best bat at the 'death as he showed today when he fetched that effortless boundary as only he can to clinch the issue in India's favor. :-) No one messes with Nehra. Now suck up to that you whiners.
Ranjha Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The man got balls of steel. Lol Well done Nehra...great job Nehra will win us the wc...watch!
anbuchelvan Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Tendulkar in the team again' date=' despite his horror shows in last 2 games and on top of that unable to stay fit and gets injured. His protected status and undroppbale status contiunes. What are his connections in BCCI?[/quote'] Have you ever played cricket ?.:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Fontaine Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Nehra did really well when he came back to the team a year ago. But lately his form has been pretty awful. His radar and consistency are as bad as Sreesanth's now. Hopefully he can bounce back but he certainly should not be an automatic choice for the final XI with Munaf doing such a good job in not just keeping things tight but taking wickets also.
Sid Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 yeah' date=' the same weak Kiwi team which we absolutely thrashed and even against their crappy batting lineup his economy rate was more than 5.50[/quote'] And against the same crappy batting lineup Ashish Nehra took 5 wickets in 5 matches at an impressive economy rate of 5.77 :cantstop: and Sree's economy rate was 5.37 ,so get your facts right before posting

Yes.......you are right but due to Nehra spot in team........ Irfan pathan,RP Singh were not given chances to prove themselves. If Nehra won't be in team..........we can find a perfect bowling all rounder as Irfan pathan
