vvvslaxman Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 you strategize keeping the opposition in mind. The windies were all at sea against any type of spin... the less said of Aussies against spin the better. But now we're looking at a face-off vs subcontiental teams (if SL gets knocked out then all is well and good) Else..I am a little nervous of him vs Pak ....or vs Srilanka in the finals. :(( Although you guys are right.. the guy has shored up our bowling from the moment he came in. He has not even bowled one ball. You already use mathematical formula and find that he would suck against Pakistan? :cantstop: ... Do you realize Nathan mccullum opened against Pakistan? Peterson opened against us?
Stuge Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I agree you go into a match with a strategy ,but I guess ashwin form will be considered too .
hari504504 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 ^ Isn't it better than having a whine thread after someone's been hit around the park..? anyway I am not making any emphatic statement.. just putting it up for discussion.
Lord Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 if we play one spinner+Yuvi then Bhajji must go.u dont drop your in-form players high on confidence.plus Ashwin can bowl in PPs
Stuge Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 in between Sri lanka now as days doesn't play mendis against India or Pakistan .
vvvslaxman Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 ^ Isn't it better than having a whine thread after someone's been hit around the park..? anyway I am not making any emphatic statement.. just putting it up for discussion. What if Nehra gets hit around or Sree gets hit around .. and call for DHoni's head. Works two ways. It is not like we have Malcom Marshall, Glen Mcgrath sitting in the bench. These are junk bowlers.
Stuge Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 if we play one spinner+Yuvi then Bhajji must go.u dont drop your in-form players high on confidence.plus Ashwin can bowl in PPs I really don't think starting with spinner against Pakistan will be a good option .
Lord Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I really don't think starting with spinner against Pakistan will be a good option . I meant batting or bowling PPs.Nehra should start with Zak for me
ganeshran Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 The problem is if we drop Ashwin, whom do we play in place of him? Chawla, Nehra, Sreesanth??
hari504504 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 ^ So you agree that Ashwin may meet his match ?
vvvslaxman Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 He is our only confident spin bowler who looks like taking wickets instead of darting around. Sure he might go for runs. But he is there to take wickets. Also... Pakistan is not a team that is known for attacking from the outset. They still follow the 1980s approach of keeping the wickets in hand and attacking later.
Zelig Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Yes, we should surprise Pakis by playing Chawla. What more, we should open with PC :agree:
Misu243 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Leave it to Dhoni and Gary..I'm sure they will come prepared on wednesday.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Ok, so we drop one of our best bowlers over the last 2 games. And who do we replace him with? Chawla? ppl gotta stop smoking whatever they are before creating a thread!
Lord Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Yes' date=' we should surprise Pakis by playing Chawla. What more, we should open with PC :agree:[/quote'] better open with Sachin then.he was getting more v Aus then PC ever got

Chawla? ppl gotta stop smoking whatever they are before creating a thread![/quote'] :haha: Chawla got hit around by Pakistanis last time. They have seen him already. Ashwin is new. Not many players have faced him. That in itself is an advantage.
Misu243 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 You must be crazy if you think we should drop Ashwin..he is a wicket taker bowler..he may go for runs but he will get some batsmen out at critical stages just like Zakky.
Silva Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 He is our only confident spin bowler who looks like taking wickets instead of darting around. Sure he might go for runs. But he is there to take wickets. Also... Pakistan is not a team that is known for attacking from the outset. They still follow the 1980s approach of keeping the wickets in hand and attacking later. Tottaly agree. He bowls aggresivly unlike Harbhajan and doesnt give too many bad deliveries like Nehra, sree or Chawla. I really like his body language when he gets hit for runs. He never panickes despite being a young bowler playing in his first world cup. Plus apparently he can bat a bit as well. That could be crucial if it comes down to the wire.
