Laaloo Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The reason why 3 fast bowlers is because reverse swing comes into play. The Kolkata and delhi pitch are pretty dry. I'd rather take my chances with Aaron against some hapless WI batting and get him more exposure. how many matches have we won in the last 2 years at home playing 2 spinners? Link to comment

Abe kya 3 fast bowlers ke piche parh gaya hai tu :D.All 3 tracks,Delhi,Kolkatta and Mumbai will help spinners,2 of which were assisting the spinners in ODIs as well. Link to comment

I just wanna see Aaron and Yadav bowling :(( Our spinners are pretty much useless, although most of it is harbhajan :cantstop:. I think Ojha and Ashwin should have a field day against the hapless Windies. Anything less than 3-0 is a fkng crime. Link to comment
VRV Singh Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The XI is pretty predictable. At least the Raina disaster is averted for now. Well done selectors. If they hadn't taken this call, he would've scored big here and booked his ticket to Australia.... But now Yuvraj will do the same instead :banghead: Two n00bs in the pace department. If they are backing Fletcher on this then good call again. Another farce in the spin department. Ashwin will be interesting, mind. Link to comment
ganeshran Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yup the raw seam and spin bowling attack is a worry. Both are inexperienced and Ishant will have to lead the attack. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ashwin and Ojha have been best spinners recently. Ashwin has done well in ODIs and Ojha in FC cricket. Link to comment

saneindian Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Mukund, Raina, Sree, Bhajji, RP Singh, Mishra, Saha lost their spot, Munaf out due to injury. 8 changes to the squad! Barring Ishant every bowler has lost his spot. Truly sweeping changes. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 ^ Mukund hasn't lost it for long time. He can get chance in future. Link to comment

Barring Ishant every bowler has lost his spot. Truly sweeping changes. Mukund - He will be back later on Raina - sucks Sree- Sucks bhajji - sucks RP singh - overweight and sucks Mishra- god he sucks. Still keeps bowling no balls after no balls Saha - ehh understandable Link to comment
ganeshran Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Mukund was never going to get selected over sehwag anyway. Link to comment
BERGKAMP Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Sehwag Gambhir Dravid Tendulkar Laxman Rahane Dhoni Ashwin Ishant Aaron Yadav Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Very pleased with the squad. Delighted for the two pacemen and also Ashwin and Ojha. Rahul Sharma is an interesting one, it must mean that he has impressed with his attitude or skills while he has been in the squad. I'm all for him gaining more experience with first team members. Mishra has been discarded which is also excellent news. Overall very good from the selectors for once. Link to comment
asterix Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 What a fantastic team selection..I'm so happy.. :aha: Link to comment
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 gud selection.happy to see bhajji and sreesanth out.worthless.yuvi is a risk spcly with no match practice.i hope Kohli gets a chance.gud to see aaron n yadav in the team,seems they hv sm sort of backing in the team Link to comment
kooljatt Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 This would be my playing XI: Sehwag Gambhir Dravid Sachin Yuvraj Laxman Dhoni Ashwin Ishant Aaron Ojha Glad to see Ojha back in test frame ! I hope PK is RESTED , not DROPPED ! Don't give me crap about pitches, he bowled pretty well in WI. As PK says, " khila ke to dekho" Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think Yuvi will only get the nod if we decide to play with a 3-1 combo (3 pacers, 1 spinner). If we go with two spinners then it will be Kohli I feel. Link to comment
