ICC World T20, 2012 SriLanka

[SLICKR392]

Will he get 30? Even against Afghanistan he just managed to get 8 runs of 10 balls

Just cuz of single knock? He can win us a match single handedly when he is on song.

[veer]

should be veeru but won't happen cuz we are going back to 4 bowler strategy..

[Crookbond]

Seems so. But if we are up against Eng or Aus on a dust bowls..he wouldn't cost us much.

I don't think we will get a rank turner. If we do, he may drop Sehwag for Chawla else everything in order.

Bangladesh, Zimbabwe scared of us - Trent Johnston http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/current/story/583693.html

Why don't Bangladesh and Zimbabwe want to play us?" he asked. "I know why, because they're scared that we'll beat them and that we'll go above them in the rankings. I know that for a fact. "And the other guys simply can't play us because they've got programmes left, right and centre and IPL, BPL and Big Bash, blah, blah, blah. So I can understand that the big boys play too much cricket and that they ask how they can squeeze a series in with Ireland. But something has got to be done, because we don't want to be at this 'minnow' level as well, which is what the commentators call us. "We're associate cricketers and we're aware of that, we're not 'minnows'. I'm sick of hearing 'minnow' on the TV. It's disrespectful to the guys that are here training and putting the work in and it's disrespectful to the people back in Ireland and back in Afghanistan and the others in the associate levels who put so much time and effort into cricket.

He's a leggie so bit of variety, but even from that point of view it should have been Rahul Sharma, for consistency. Dont get it.

[Tridibans_16]

Till now, total 8 voters and only one has not voted for India..:)

[SLICKR392]

TBH it doesn't really make a huge difference. All the three spinners can bat.

[SLICKR392]

Minnow logic. :giggle:

Guys don't be fooled by spinners performance today. In Indian group you don't have team poor against spin like the English. You need to back Zaheer and with Irfan doing decent that's two spots sealed. Ashwin is your best spinner by a mile. Toss up between Balaji Dinda and Chawala.

Both Aussies and SA arent great players of Spin either. Aussies have watson and Hussey and SA has De villiers and Amla.Almost everyone else in these two teams strugle when the ball starts to spin. Warner Bailey White Levi Duminy Morkel all have major weakness and struggle against spinners when it turns. Kallis also turns to test mode at any sight of turn.

[bajrang]

Gambhir Kohli Rohit Yuvraj Raina Pathan Dhoni Ashwin Bhajji Chawla Dinda dont want balaji, cant sit out sehwag without sitting out zak. would be too harsh on dinda the domestic bowler of the year to have only one game.

Last time when Sehwag wins us match single handedly? He even failed to win crucial matches for DD in IPL .His failure ratio is high .

[panther]

Where did you come up with Cook as the best player of spin in their side? After KP its Prior!

90 against pak in test 2 100s against pak in odi 90 against sl in sl.

[jairamesh]

i did an illogical vote

[jairamesh]

Sehwag, but i don't think having an extra spinner will make a difference. so i would keep sehwag, esp against the pakis

[SLICKR392]

Last time when Sehwag wins us match single handedly? He even failed to win crucial matches for DD in IPL .His failure ratio is high .

He got DD to the Playoffs...with 5 back to back 50's. There were others in the team aswell for DD during these "crucial matches". The match against WI and talking about winning us matches...who other than Kohli has won us matches consistently, lately? Gambhir played a great hand today and people have already started picking him over Viru. Just a matter of time it rolls backs to him once he plays a good knock.

It is true that you don't need 7 batsmen to play out 20 overs. So our strategy in T20 should be to always go in with 5 bowlers. The worst T20 bat of the lot is Dhoni. Since he is cappo and keeper, guess he can't be dropped. So it's between Rohit and Raina.

[carnish]

Are you not watching today's game ?

We are but this is against a **** side against good spin bowling. India would struggle against pak and saffers if we dont chase

[carnish]

Asli class and form will be exposed on the 28th of September. Watto gonna give Bhajji a 'Anchor' Moment ... Shock laga Laga Shock

[bajrang]

sehwag bashing domestic players on placid indian piches in ipl hardly qualify him to open in t20 international. we already have six batsmen who averages above 30, plus pathan who also averages more then sehwag in t20 international. resting anybody else will also kill an bowling option or a left hander or both.
