INDIA VS IRELAND- Pre match discussion

[ganeshran]

Nehra for Yusuf is the only change I'd like to see.

On subcontinent pitches Nehra will get tonked around like anything. :((

Its not about quantity..Quality matters whether play 4 or 5 bowlers which we don't have.

On Flat pitches quality or no quality you will be hammered,Many bowlers like steyn ,morkel,lee have been hammered in odis in india,Fact is playing 5 bowler is better as chances of a battting allrounder winning match at 7 is less than a bowling allrounder doing something with the ball.

I would like to see the following two changes to the team. This might be a good match to try this: 1. Ashwin for Chawla - Chawla has looked very ordinary for the most part 2. Nehra for YKP - YKP isn't getting any chance to bat and whether we like it or not Nehra is a specialist bowler

Chawla will be devoured by both Obriens. short boundaries. slow pitch. Chawla with no pace will be taken to cleaners.

Gavaskar was saying that Harbhajan should be rested against the irish and the dutch teams and both Ashwin and Chawla should be given a chance to see who,s the better of the two and then select one of them against saffers and windies

[ganeshran]

Kumble where art thou... :sniffle:

[Zelig]

KOB :acute:

What are you smoking pink haired monster? Our best bowler is Munaf Patel atm :wall:

However, it's very important to win all the matches with the best possible team because WI and SA are looking good..

[nballa]

he is trying to soften up the bowlers and launch a full out assault. pay no attention to him. everyone knows how much depth we have.

[singhprakash72]

With a BELTER of wicket I guess no difference between Nehra/Sree/Ashwin/Piyush...Just pick one that is better Fielder+Batter I guess ???

[yoda]

Chawla will be devoured by both Obriens. short boundaries. slow pitch. Chawla with no pace will be taken to cleaners.

I agree. We better get K OB out before Piyush comes in with his laddus. LOL!

[bulbul]

Let them njoy man

[achilles]

Kevin is just being modest. We have so much depth in our bowling that we let a team like England touch 338 against us :hysterical:

[flamy]

Munaf Patel, Piyush Chawla and R Ashwin are also there

sums it up

[Zero_Unit]

Well i hope IRE atleast puts up a decent score or else the game is no fun to watch.

[ganeshran]

Harsha said they watered the Bangalore pitch and left the water there. :ohyeah:

Harsha said they watered the Bangalore pitch and left the water there. :ohyeah:

Yes, I heard that too. Good, I think, for India:two_thumbs_up: I REALLY hope they give Ashwin a chance to prove himself !

[Manny_Pacquiao]

gonna be a huge anti-climax for the irish i am guessing 200 all out, with india chasing in 32 overs

[Ultimate_Game]

I would prefer India chases as well - they need to chase couple of times in the group stage to get used to chasing under the lights. In fact they should try chasing in all their remaining matches except the SA one.

[nballa]

please don't dhobi. chasing was never your strength.
