1983-2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 We just won the World Cup, IPL will be on for 7 weeks and we will have ODI series in West Indies in a week after IPL is over. I think we should rest our regular test players who played in the world cup and are playing in IPL. The players who should be rested are : Sachin Sehwag Gambhir Dhoni Zaheer Harbhajan What do you guys think, I haven't included Yuvraj because I think he will not be picked for the test series. Also include list of players that should get a look in for ODIs that weren't part of the world cup squad.
akshayxyz Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 rest sehwag..he is carrying injuries for quite long.
phaedrus Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 doubt sachin will play the ODIs there. Sehwag needs rest, so does Dhoni and Zaheer.
zen Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 For the ODI series: - Gambhir - Kohli - Pujara / Karthik / Uthappa / .... - Yuvi - Raina - Dhoni - YP - Ashwin - PK - Nehra (if fit) / Yadav / Varun - Munaf

Also include list of players that should get a look in for ODIs that weren't part of the world cup squad. Righto ! That would leave us with ... Dinesh Karthik M. Vijay / R.Uthappa Virat kohli Yuvraj Singh (Cap) Suresh Raina Rohit Shama / Saurabh Tiwary / Someone else based on IPL form Yusuf Pathan Ishant Sharma / P.Kumar Munaf Patel Ashish Nehra R. Ashwin Good enough to take the windies i reckon
Sachin=GOD Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 We just won the World Cup, IPL will be on for 7 weeks and we will have ODI series in West Indies in a week after IPL is over.

Also include list of players that should get a look in for ODIs that weren't part of the world cup squad. Out of these I'd say Bhajji and Gambhir may not rest. We should not take the Windies that lightly, resting soo many key players may result in an unnecessary and unexpected loss in the ODI series. So I think only 3-4 out of the above 6 will rest.
hari504504 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 we can't afford a slip in this series. ODI -No. 1 spot still at stake..the Aussies still sitting pretty on that one
Misu243 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Bring in some new bowlers thats all I can say based on IPL performance...Sachin should definitely rest
BeautifulGame Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 We shouldnt worry about No.1 rankings in ODIs . They are meaningless. We should rest key players like OP says so that they are rested and freshened up for test series in WI and long tour of Eng . We should try to create a large pool of players for 2015 without worrying about results like Dhoni has suggested
Cricket Tragic Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I'd rest Dhoni as well. Gambhir can be the captain. I'd rest SRT, MS, Sehwag and Zaheer.
Clarke Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 The ones mentioned in OP will be rested for tests too, so that they are fresh for England .. the test XI will be somewhat like: Vijay Karthik Dravid Pujara Laxman Yusuf Jadeja Chawla Ojha Unadkat Ishant :P
vijay810 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Rest Gambhir ,Dhoni , Sachin , Sehwag , Zaheer and even Yuvraj and Raina if needed . They will be more needed for the England tour which we need to win at any cost. I recommend for WI following teams For ODI : Shikhar Dhawan,Robin Uttappa,Kohli ,Rahane,Tiwary,Manoj Tiwari , Pathan ,Ashwin ,Ishant ,Praveen. Take Umesh Yadav , Unadkat and Varun as trainees alongwith to get experience . Abhishek Nayyar and Rayadu can be back up batsmen. Uttapa can keep wickets and Kohli to captain. For test : Vijay ,Rahane,Kohli , Dravid ,Pujara ,Laxman,Ashwin and some new bowlers. Laxman can be captain ..he deserves captaincy atleast for a series and Rahane or Pujara can keep wickets for this particular series
cowboysfan Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 we can't afford a slip in this series. ODI -No. 1 spot still at stake..the Aussies still sitting pretty on that one you are kidding right???we are the ****ing world champions(it says so right in the banner!!!!).
Chaos Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 wtf? if we go by this logic... australia wouldnt have ruled the game for a decade plus. If a player is scared of getting injured let him go work on his fitness.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 you are kidding right???we are the ****ing world champions(it says so right in the banner!!!!). so we should rest on our laurels??? This is the 1st series we will play as "the ***ing World Champions" and people want to rest every senior player in the team - why not have some of the seniors rest right now instead of taking part in the Bollywood Tamasha (a.k.a IPL), why rest all of them for an international tour?? I think at the most we will be resting 3-4 players, not more that.
Karan114 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 you are kidding right???we are the ****ing world champions(it says so right in the banner!!!!). I doubt even the Aussies care about that no.1 ranking now. In ODIs its all about winning the World Cup and we're sorted on that front for the next four years!
Stuge Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 for sure Sachin won't play any upcoming ODI's . in case of test matches we need full squad including Sachin .
Stuge Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Rest Gambhir ,Dhoni , Sachin , Sehwag , Zaheer and even Yuvraj and Raina if needed .

Laxman can be captain ..he deserves captaincy atleast for a series and Rahane or Pujara can keep wickets for this particular series Remembr Zimbawe Series ? we lost to Zimbabwe and Sri lanka ?.For god sake we don;t want that now after winning the world cup ,that will be shameful :(
Cricket Tragic Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Wtf? People want players rested from a test series? Play your best team for tests, even if it against Bangladesh. That is what will happen. I don't mind Sehwag, SRT, MS and Zaheer taking a break from the WI ODIs.
cowboysfan Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 so we should rest on our laurels???

I think at the most we will be resting 3-4 players, not more that. we should send our B team and still win every one of the useless odi game against the hapless West Indies.Our way forward is to blood new players and it starts in West indies,A B side soesnt mean a complete new team by the way.
