Should SRT be rested for the 3rd one day? (Has been rested)

[Gunner_Mania]

I am not sure. He seems to be in the form of his life and I would like him to play as many as he can until 2011 WC. On the other hand I also feel he shouldn't be playing in meaningless ODIs and dead rubbers and give a chance to test the bench strength. What do you guys feel?

[sm332]

if there are any doubts about his body he should be ... it is a dead rubber the series is sealed.

[flamy]

actually we should play our whole bench, so a lot of people can be rested.

[Laaloo]

He will be rested. He knows better than all of us when he should rest or not.

actually we should play our whole bench' date=' so a lot of people can be rested.[/quote'] then next time don't come and complain to me that "Aussies had an undefeated summer, why can we not show the same ruthlessness"

[punjabiplaya]

well whens the next game if its not for a while..he may as well play as hes in such good form,but he will know himself if hes tired and able to give 100%

[Guest Hiten.]

No he should be dropped. The form he has shown I won't be surprised if he's already sleeping on A'bad's pitch :giggle:. He should be rested. I don't care about the clean sweep its about time we test our bench because WC is coming up in about year's time. This ODI series victory is sweeter because we're missing Zak, Bhajji, Gauti and UV who are four of our star ODI performers.

[Anakin]

SRT should not play the next match.

[satishg]

SRT will not play the next match.

fixed! :winky:

[Desi Cartman]

yes all seniors should be rested from one 50 overs match so they are fit to play IPL :isalute:

[Jersey #10]

YES!

[DomainK]

Depends on him. He will decide if he wants to come out and score another century or not. I have a feeling that he will rest and Sehwag will take his turn to score a century.

Our fielding has been better in the last 2 matches because we are missing these players. :P

[spectre]

NO, go for the kill Rest from IPL and play all ODIs till the WC and getting that trophy

[Ram]

I'd be HUGELY surprised to see him on the starting eleven for the 3rd ODI. But who knows, he might surprise us all, just like he did when he was standing at slips, for ball 1 of the South African reply.

[THX_1138]

he is too old... drop him already. he has done nothing of note in the last 17 hours. how long is the team going to carry this grandfather?

[THX_1138]

Depends on him. He will decide if he wants to come out and score another century or not. I have a feeling that he will rest and Sehwag will take his turn to score a century.

yeah yeah... totally selfish player. always wants to think about scoring centuries for himself. what good is a hundred runs to a team? its not like it increases our total or improves our chances of winning!

[Lord]

looks like both Sachin n Veeru r gonna be rested.good decision.will test our bench.doesnt matter even if we lose.Yusuf should open with KKD. Nayar should come in

[ViruRulez]

actually we should play our whole bench' date=' so a lot of people can be rested.[/quote'] :dito: We are nowhere near the no.1 rank too .. just checked the ODI rankings (BTW did not get the ODI ranking points .. I mean WTF .. checked the predictor tool and we get just 1 point for beating SA while Aus lose only 1 point even if they are defeated by NZ) .. so this is a purely dead rubber and of no benefit On a serious note, did anyone check the ODI rating points.. WTF is that .. we used to lose hell lot of points when we were beaten by any lower team in an ODI match .. but now after winning against SA we are only getting 1 point per match and I checked with the predictor tool and it seems Aus will merely lose one point each if they lose matches against NZ .. were we not losing 2-3 points every match when we loss any match when we were no.1
