Sachin=GOD Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Iin the matches played together by Yuvi and Jaddu' date=' Yuvi has better economy rate. Don't think he brings anything special to the team. All he does is bowl that negative line which Yuvi does it more efficiiently. [b']They should have picked Rohit sharma. Bhajji, Chawla, Ashwin are regular spinners to go with Yuvi, Raina, Viru and Yusuf as part time spinners. Far too many spinners. Don't think even Ashwin will find a spot in the side. Agreed. It should have been either Rohit or a reserve keeper (Kartikh). With so many bowling options, there's no need for Chawla.
urbestfriend Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Chawla is not that bad decision because he can play as an allrounder if India decides to go with 6 main batsmen. I dont think Yusuf and Chawla are very different though yusuf can rip apart minnow bowlers, he is not an asset against good bowling side. But they should have tested him in SA/NZ matches to see how he bowls. In IPL, he was useless, leaking too many runs.

I would have gone for an extra bat or Karthik to double up as bat+backup WK
yoda Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 There is almost 0 possibility of playing 3 spinners, really dumb decision and a waste of a spot.
asterix Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 There is almost 0 possibility of playing 3 spinners' date=' really dumb decision and a waste of a spot.[/quote'] I think they wanted to have more options in spin department. Some teams struggle against orthodox legspin bowling.
Sachin=GOD Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I think they wanted to have more options in spin department. Some teams struggle against orthodox legspin bowling. what about having some more options for batting order? For 7 batting positions in the team, we have just 8 batsmen and that IMO is too low for the World Cup.

So no harm in having few specialist spinners on SC wickets..Chawla will prove his worth if he gets a chance. Chawla should grab this opportunity with all of his available limbs and body extensions..It's now or never..Sould work hard on some mystry deliveries to outfox the batsmen..Dheelapan dikhane seh kaam nahin chalega..
yoda Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Ojha has a better econ rate than him (closer to 4 vs 4.95 for Chawla), although strangely neither has played a ODI at home so far.
jhakati Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 piyush chawla does not deserve a world cup sqad place ojha would have been lot better discuss. edit: mods edit the title too please NO DOUBT AT ALL THIS IS A POLITICAL DECISION AND NOT ON MERIT!!! OJHA DEFINITELY DESERVED TO BE IN THE TEAM JUST WHEN U THOUGHT SELECTION POLITICS WAS A THING OF THE PAST, DHOBI AND SRIKANTH PICK THIS CLOWN CHAWLA WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE 3O PROBABLES, REAL SHAME

Are you that desperate to prove your point that you have to go get the video from this sh1tty shource?
yoda Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 looks like the captain's reasoning is that Chawla can be a useful bat and allows for picking of 5 bowlers. I think that can be very risky, going in with 6 regular bats. Chawla is no allrounder IMO.
Cricketics Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I reckon he won't be getting any chance to play, but he if he does get, he will do good.
Sachin=GOD Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Dhoni defends Chawla's inclusion in World Cup squad CAPE TOWN: Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Monday defended Piyush Chawla's inclusion in India's 15-man World Cup squad, saying the leg-spinner's presence provides variety to the attack. Chawla has been a surprise inclusion in the squad, announced on Monday by the Kris Srikkanth-led selection committee in Chennai. "It is good to have Piyush in the side as he provides that variety to the attack. He is one guy who can bat a bit. He has scored decent runs in Ranji and also while playing in County circuit. If we plan to play with five bowlers, then he can be a handy number seven or eight batsman," Dhoni said on the eve of India's third ODI against South Africa. Chawla has been picked despite not playing a one-dayer since July 2008, and Dhoni was aware of that. "I would always say that playing in first class match or IPL match and playing in the international match is different. Piyush needs that international match practice," the India skipper said. Names like Rohit Sharma, S Sreesanth and Ishant Sharma missed out on selection but Dhoni said that the reserve players should be in a proper frame of mind during the tournament. "If you are in the reserve and if any batter or bowler gets injured then you are going to come in. So it is important to be in a good frame of mind," he said. "Finally you can pick only 15 players. It is not like that you will not get chance. Have a look at the players out here. They were not featuring in the original list. At the end of the day you can pick only 15 players and somebody is going to miss out. So I would say that you should do well in whenever you get to play and then wait for your chance." Dhoni said India need to improve their fielding and focus more on bowling at the death. "We have to improve in the fielding department. If we get one odd run out or take few outstanding catch, it can turn the course of the game. At the same time we have to put in lot of thoughts and work on bowling in the death overs. When we are going to play in the sub continent, bowling in the death becomes crucial," he said. In Sachin Tendulkar's absence, Virat Kohli, in all likelihood, will open with Murali Vijay, with Rohit Sharma coming in at number three in Tuesday's match, Dhoni said. "We will be looking out for giving a few players an opportunity. Even otherwise we have lost quite a few players through injury. We have seven batsmen left here, so all of them will get exposure before the World Cup." About not playing with the best XI since almost a year, Dhoni said, "It is a big blow that we are missing quite a few players from our main list. But this is not happening for the first time. In the last one year we have never played with our best 11. This has given opportunities to the youngsters. "Some of them have grabbed them and are part of the World Cup squad. Here too, we have levelled the series and there are three more games to go. This is an opportunity for young players." The skipper said that India's thrilling win in the last match is history and it's going to be a fresh start on Tuesday. "Whether we win the last game or lose, I always think that each match is a fresh start. I would like to think about the problems we are facing, and how we are going to resolve those issues. We are concentrating on what we are supposed to do. I think both the teams are pretty equal. Whoever gets good start will make an impact on the game. On the the wicket and toss, he said, "I think the ball does a bit under lights, so toss will be crucial. But honestly speaking, I don't know the exact scientific reason as why the ball does a bit under lights. It may be because of not having natural sunlight, or it could be because of sea breeze. "Even spinners can play major role. If we win the toss and they have to bat second, then they might not be that affected. If we bat second, then facing their fast bowlers under lights will be a huge challenge. South African bowlers become a bit more effective if they are bowling under lights," Dhoni said. Asked about Parthiv Patel's selection for the current series, Dhoni said, "It depends on the situation of the series. I would love to get rest from one match. But it depends on the situation." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/icc-world-cup-2011/top-stories/Dhoni-defends-Chawlas-inclusion-in-World-Cup-squad/articleshow/7306280.cms
daryl1985 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I think they wanted to have more options in spin department. Some teams struggle against orthodox legspin bowling. I would agree with you if Chawla could actually bowl a legbreak! But the googly is his best ball! :haha:
urbestfriend Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 umm 6 batsmen lol so u would pic chawla as a batsman over yusuf or raina :hysterical: I said if India decides to go with 6 batsmen, he can play as an allrounder. Same sentiment is echoed by Dhoni too...
Sooda Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Well If they play Chawla and another bowler-who-can-bat-a-bit in Bhajji/Ashwin it almost equates to an allrounder.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 surprising selection but its clear that they wanted a leg spinner. chawla is a good guy to play against england or SA. hopefully we'll see him against SA in these remaining ODIs nobody remembers that this guy played a great game against australia in the CB series final
