Silva Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Even though I am a bhajji supporter that average is embarrasing. Ashwin is easily our best spinner. Thats economoy rate despite bowling with the new ball is amazing so far. Link to comment
NareshK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think it will be a tight game but India will pull through. Link to comment
Hur Rizvi Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Seriously thinking India are favourites by big distane but Pakistan do have a slight chance and all of us Pakistani fans know that there is only slight chance that we can beat India ... Our strategy should be all-out attack we cant win against India by containment ... I would like one change ... Replace wahab with Akhtar .... Link to comment

Thats economoy rate despite bowling with the new ball is amazing so far. Mendis was considered a replacement for Murali till they ran into the Pakis...just saying.. I'll have no qualms of eating the humble pie if Ashwin proves me wrong at Mohali.. All I see so far in this thread is some ppl reading the title, making up their minds..and stating the obvious about "Ashwin being awesome so far".. duh ! .. who argued against that... and I am not picking my XI either.

Andy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I am not at all Confident about our Pacers bowling to those 20-20 Players. Surely the trundlers would get Slogged out by Khatmal and Co. But Spin wont be effective too. Its a headache, I'll play Munaf because Mohali Pitch would suit seam bowlers more than the ones who Pitch it up and Swing it. Link to comment

For all your "Mendis being sorted out by Pakistan" theory, look at this Mendia has played 6 ODIs vs Pakistan, picked 10 wickets@22 with a ER of 4.9. 4/47, 0/41, 3/29, 1/10, 1/56, 1/45 are his bowling figures. Yes not as successful as he was initially, but far from being sorted out in ODIs. And to your utter surprise, Mendis picked up 4 wickets in his first match vs Pakistan before being "sorted out. Wonder what makes you so nervous. Link to comment
khanbhai Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ashwin will face an Asian team for the first time in his career, let alone in this World Cup. Playing in an India Pakistan game will be too much for him. Mark my words, he will cause headaches for India Link to comment

You cannot correlate two thngs and make your selection. That is a bit far fetched. Different pitches, different types of bowlers, different conditions, different situations, different captains, . There are far too many factors involved. We cannot discount them and simply it as 'mendis sucked so Ashwin will suck" Link to comment
ganeshran Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Not another mark my words post [:facepalm: Guys dont attack the OP for expressing an opinion, if you disagree state your reasoning for it. Whats the use in making this personal? Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Going by your theory Gul and Afridi should not play against India. They have poor records agianst us. Akhtar should not play because we whacked around Lee, Tait et al. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Pakis are better players of spin than Aus . Really:hysterical: Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah drop Ashwin agree, also drop bhaji as not enough wickets and drop Dhoni as scored no runs. Any other great strategies from the ICF think tank? Link to comment
NareshK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ashwin will win the World Cup for us. 'Nuff said. Link to comment
Sachin=GOD Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah drop Ashwin agree, also drop bhaji as not enough wickets and drop Dhoni as scored no runs. Any other great strategies from the ICF think tank? drop Goddy because his 100s lead to losses for India (Vaibhav's factor #1) :haha: Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 He is in the Mendis mould - who the Pakistanis were the first ones to successfully decode. Isn;t it a huge risk to play him against the veterans like Younis,Misbah and Kamran ? Harbhajan/Yuvraj will do a reasonable job. We;ve to go with 3 pacers in Mohali on a traditionally more bouncy pitch. What kind of dope are you using mate? If you opened a thread asking should harbajan be dropped against the Pak match then I guess you woudn't have had this much of bashing! Ashwin is doing a hell of a beter job then harbajan.

spectre Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If there has to be anyone who gets dropped, it has to be the dart thrower. A 50 average from a spinner, topclass stuff :giggle: Infact, India should play Yusuf at No.8. He can easily match the 10-0-50-0 figures that harbhajan can achieve these days. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 drop Goddy because his 100s lead to losses for India (Vaibhav's factor #1) :haha: Yep agree so we have sachin out as his tons are a liabilty, Ashwin out, Bhaji out and Dhoni out. ICF on fire here, just hope selctors read these great ideas and wield the axe! Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I wouldnt be surprised if Ashwin struggles against pakistan but there is no way you can drop him either. Link to comment

Yep on following this logoic dhoni hs to be dropped as well, as his average is woeful. We must not stand by players who have performed concistently well for India and instead do chopping and changing. Its the way forward I tell you, just look at paks, it works for them. Ponting should have been axed before India game! Link to comment
