SachDan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chawla's a must pick. I don't care about other bowlers!
fineleg Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Can't really blame Dhoni. Chawla's lot chubbier than Jaddu. :haha: I hope MSD starts 'thinking' - abt selection (and field placements too).
fineleg Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chawla's a must pick. I don't care about other bowlers! Good one danra :cantstop: You can now captain the Indian team
Clarke Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The Indian captain has kept faith with the baby-faced Chawla as the second specialist spinner behind Harbhajan Singh despite the leg spinner failing to do anything much to justify such a preference. "He is 22-23 years of age. He will be feeling the pressure ... and he has only just returned to the side." Chawla > :mama: < Dhoni
SachDan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chawla > :mama: < Dhoni Chawla > :lollypop: < Dhoni ??
cowboysfan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I would also drop chawla and play 3 seamers.its either Ashwin or 3 seamers for me.
Clarke Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chawla > :lollypop: < Dhoni ?? :poink: thats immoral
Iconoclast Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Sreesanth:winky: Sreesanth has been good against South Africa. I general I think you guys should be playing one more fast bowler and drop one batsman to get your team combination right.
Switchblade Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Sreesanth has been good against South Africa. I general I think you guys should be playing one more fast bowler and drop one batsman to get your team combination right. Yes he has but when he loses it he gives away a lot of runs plus his antics in the field btw are you a saffer welcome to icf
Moncy Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Yes he has but when he loses it he gives away a lot of runs plus his antics in the field btw are you a saffer welcome to icf Correct. It's too risky to include him in our XI team against SA which will take place in Nagpur, where the pitch is batsman friendly. He's a wicket-taker but his ODI econ rate is terrible.
Switchblade Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 If we reach semis he is a good option then Mohali pitch would suit him
The Realist Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Chawla is becoming the Jadeja of this World Cup. The only constant is Dhoni's irrational stubborness in both cases. He sticks with players who don't perform again and again. I hope this stuborness does not cost India, as it did in the 2009 T20 WC.
Fontaine Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Why is it that Indian fans can almost never give their bowlers some credit? Munaf Patel has only played in three matches and he has more wickets than: Murali, Tait, Broad, Steyn, Morkel, Jimmy Anderson. With an excellent strike rate and average of around 20 even though India has played a couple of matches in Bangalore in the flattest pitch of the tournament. Indian fans are always moaning and complaining about the lack of fast bowlers and here's a guy who has been steadily improving over the past year even though he isn't a regular in the side. Maybe if he starts going on dance shows, grows his hair long and routinely starts sledging batsmen people will finally begin to notice his good work! Give the guy his due credit and let him bowl!
Manny_Pacquiao Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Why is it that Indian fans can almost never give their bowlers some credit? ! because most of them are fair weather retards who know very little about cricket and prefer to use an internet message board to vent their fickle frustration instead of actually trying to support the team
zen Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Rest Zak and Bhajji. Give a go to Sree, Nehra and Ashwin and bring back Munaf :nice:
Fontaine Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 because most of them are fair weather retards who know very little about cricket and prefer to use an internet message board to vent their fickle frustration instead of actually trying to support the team Sad but probably true. Anyone with a brain should be a able to see how improved Patel has been going back to last year where he bowled very well against Sri Lanka and has been bowling at a good pace. All this guy does is bowl his 10 overs on a tight, disciplined wicket to wicket line making the batsmen take all the risks and is so easy to set fields to because he rarely goes wide of offstump or down leg side. I mean, India has been playing several matches on the flattest pitch in the tournament and all this guy has done is show up and bowl like a champ.
Fontaine Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Oh and just to make it completely clear: Munaf Patel has picked up the same number of wickets as Umar Gul even though he's played one less match and Shoaib Akhtar has all of what? 3 Wickets? The only bowler who's been underperforming in the side is Bhajji but at least he's doing a pretty good job in keeping the runs down as he's been very very economical. Some people just don't understand that India have played three matches out of 4 in Delhi/Bangalore which have been the flattest pitches so far in the tournament unlike Bangladesh/Sri Lanka where 260 is a competitive score. All I can say is for those idiots who want Sree back in or are complaining about Chawla/Ashwin etc, is that some people are never freakin' happy and they probably don't deserver to be! :)
yoda Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Dhoni would go with - Chawla + 3 others :(( Chawla's a must pick. I don't care about other bowlers! :giggle:
