India tour of Srilanka, July 2012

[Lord]

Rahul Sharma did not even play in Aus.

he did play one game:--D anyway I meant A tour of WI.dunno why I typed Aus:--D

[Lord]

also I think Yadav needs to be preserved for tests.we dont want him to turn into another trundler

[Number]

Jaddu was going at 5-6 rpo anyway and hardly took wickets except in the England series. Raina' date=' Rohit have shown they can get in quiet overs in between. so better to bank on batsman than to try and play 5 bowlers or an all arounder who can't bat.[/quote'] Agree. Fake All rounders are no better bowlers than part timers. With MSD and Raina at 6-7, top 5 can play attacking game. Although Irfan Pathan deserves to be in the squad.

[CoverDrive]

Aaron has potential to be a better bowler in ODI's than Yadav who is better for Tests

[daryl1985]

Was Rohit Sharma's bowling in the Windies A Tour so good that we decided that we do not need any all-rounders here? I think it is harsh to drop Irfan, he has performed adequately since returning to the ODI set-up.

[Hell Raiser]

Good Team. The inclusion of Aaron instead of Vk would have made it even better.

[The Realist]

More musical chairs from the selectors without any thought to having a strategy. Don't understand why Irfan Pathan is dropped when he has just got back into the team and performed relatively well. Vinay Kumar continously selected despite all evidence stating he just can't cut it at international level. Need to move on from Khan and Tendulkar should retire from ODIs rather than cherry pick his appearances.

[Executioner]

Vinay Crap Kumar in the team :facepalm: India needs to hope that VK gets injured and Aaron or even pathan gets a chance otherwise it will be tuff for India

[JaFanatic]

in the pakistan team.

baasir meant it but posted it in a wrong thread...possible human errors:alienbooty:

India's squad for the tour of Sri Lanka MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virat Kohli (vice-capt), Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Manoj Tiwary, R Ashwin, Vinay Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda, Pragyan Ojha, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ajinkya Rahane Out: Ravindra Jadeja, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Praveen Kumar In: Ajinkya Rahane, Pragyan Ojha, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav

Vinay Kumar, Dinda over Aaron, Ahmed REALLY? Good to see youngsters getting a chance (in the batting department)

[Square Drive]

No Jadeja! :mad:

[jj_28]

No Jadeja.. :mad:

Rahul Sharma over Jadeja :hysterical:

[cameron_black]

I'm Hoping for atleast 2 centuries from Kohli in this series .. I hope he doesnot dissapoint. Someone please Bump this for me if he does poorly in Sri Lanka

[jj_28]

Sehwag Gambhir Kohli Rohit Raina Tiwary Dhoni Ashwin ? Zaheer Yadav

Should we be 2 spinner and 2 fast bowlers or 3 fast bowlers and 1 spinner? Rohit, Raina can bowl as well

kohli won't score tons in SL coz here we don't have flat tracks (keep in mind that ODIs aren't played at SSC)

considering Lanka's bowling attack anything less than that is a crime for him.

[Clarke]

What position does Rahane play assuming he does get a game or two ? Openers being rotated ? I hope he gets enough chances to prove himself.
