ICC World T20, 2012 SriLanka

if hes in good form' date='sure[/quote'] Exactly what the OP is asking.

[vvvslaxman]

Actually McCullum did a decent job in the back end giving away 8 runs in the last 2. Opening against subcontinent batsman on a flat pitch can be a nightmare. I will give the benefit of doubt.

[Cricketics]

He is your perfect all rounder for ODI'S. He might not chip in with 4-5 wickets in a match but I woiuld take any bowler who can bowl his 10 overs for 35-40 runs with a 1 or 2 in 50 overs or even in 2020. Very handy player.

[Lord]

Exactly what the OP is asking.

no mention of form in OP.it mentions his batting stats wen he is primarily a bowler.OP says hes not a finisher,fielder,n a roll over spinner.I mentioned how 3rd part is wrong

Fielding in world T20 Ground fielding pretty much saved WI, although Ramdin missed stumping chances.

[Nova]

That save by Andre Russell was just fantastic. Rampaul to Morgan, 2 runs, Morgan gets hold of this one too, hoicking the ball high into the sky on the leg side ... it looks six all the way but a fantastic leap from Andre Russell prevents six! That is astonishing, he launched himself into the air and as he flew back over the boundary rope, cushioned the ball and popped it back into play before hitting the ground. He then got back on his feet to throw the ball in! Amazing stuff.

[jairamesh]

The one Sammy pulling off that fast traveling ball towards the boundary was special too! Need athleticism and pace

[Number]

Not fielding, chucking saved WI. Gayle and Samuels :finger:

[jairamesh]

Many of WIndies fielding today came down to raw athleticism and pace on the field.

[Nova]

Not fielding' date=' chucking saved WI. Gayle and Samuels :finger:[/quote'] What nonsense.

[vvvslaxman]

Not fielding' date=' chucking saved WI. Gayle and Samuels :finger:[/quote'] Samuels does. Don't think Gayle does.

[CoverDrive]

pollard catch !!!!

[JourneyMan]

Well it's been a combination of sublime and pathetic. Take the Windies for example, where on one hand you had amazing saves and catches from some players and on the other ridiculous misses by others. In this day and age every player should be decent enough in the field. The fielding of guys like Malinga, most of Pakistan, and others is seriously embarassing for the sport.

[vvvslaxman]

West Indians are natural athletes. There won't be any shortage of athleticism when they field.

[Texy]

Ok So since Transparent is doing India-Aus...Sid will be doing the India-Pak and Dexter will be doing India-SA :two_thumbs_up: Updated OP :om:

[SLICKR392]

Whoever is opening the Indo-Pak game should be ready for :whack: if something happens. I suggest a one-month temporary ban for that thread opener. :potstir:

+1 Sid it is. :ohyeah:

Toughest selection of my life, says skipper Dhoni COLOMBO: There is a reason why Indian skipper MS Dhoni was asked how he handles 'off the field' issues as captain in the press conference ahead of their Super Eights clash against Australia on Friday. There is immense speculation across TV channels and newspapers that Virender Sehwag, after being 'rested' for the final group game against England, is unhappy at being told that he will be left out of the final XI for subsequent games. The reporters here read every bit of the body language being displayed by Sehwag on the eve of the match against the Aussies. The star bat from Delhi, of course, himself fuelled a fair bit of speculation by not choosing to bat at the nets on Tuesday, despite having no fitness concerns. Dhoni's way to deal with this needless 'road show' is simple. "The most important thing is how understanding your teammates are. There are a lot of things that happen outside the ground, but all these should be ignored. There is a lot of stress in international cricket. So, instead of focusing on the wrong things, it makes more sense to focus on the right areas like the nets or the cricketing skills," he said. "No newspapers, no news channels, no phones for me. I feel it's important to be thinking in the right direction, but it's up to every individual. The energy that we are spending right now, it's most important that we spend it on cricketing aspects." The skipper now has to take a call on who to leave out against the Aussies. To overcome the handicap of a poor bowling attack, he played five bowlers on Sunday night against England and asked seniors pros Sehwag and Zaheer to 'rest'. The experiment more or less worked, though Irfan Pathan flopped in Sehwag's slot. Now, does he continue playing five bowlers, or keep Sehwag and Zaheer out again? "It is one of the toughest decisions I have taken so far. We will have to see what fits the combinations. Ultimately the decision we take has to be a good one that benefits the team," Dhoni said. "We will most likely go in with five bowlers, but I still don't know what the combination will be. It will be a fresh wicket and we have to take into consideration how it will be before the start of the match," was all he would divulge. Tackling the bouncer in these conditions shouldn't be a big ask, and Dhoni was right when he said that Pat Cummins' threats of bombarding India with short balls shouldn't be taken seriously. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/t20-world-cup/news/Toughest-selection-of-my-life-says-skipper-Dhoni/articleshow/16581227.cms
