Heck with part timers! Play Dinda, Shami, Bhuvan,Ishant, Ashwin! Ashwin and Bhuvan can score 30 more than Rohit!

You are Late .It has already killed indian cricket .:hysterical:

I would much rather have Yuvi bowl than useless Jadeja. Yes, players on bench look good but Jadeja ? seriously ? People have gone nuts.

[Lord]

Rahane Sehwag Kohli() Yuvraj Dhoni Raina Ashwin BK Shami Dinda Awana

[Cevno]

didnt work in first T20 when pitch was not slow or turning.

You have to look at it on the whole. It's not like whichever bowler will come into the team will bowl well every game. By that logic you could say on a wicket which is very flat Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be even more costlier than Dinda. And Yuvraj has previously done well on flat wickets too and today wasn't flat either.

[JourneyMan]

Agreed that Rahane should have been in the team, but the fundamental problem lies in the bowling. You can't go in with 4 bowlers, especially not when 3 of the 4 are either inexperienced or just coming back from injury. The problem goes beyond XI selection on the matchday, because the 15-man squad itself cannot fulfill basic requirements.

We lost due to toss-M.s dhoni

[Cevno]

Batting lost the game today, not the bowling. Not many games are won from 29/5. You could say the toss played a part and the conditions.

[JourneyMan]

At this point I think Sehwag and Gambhir both need to sit it out, and make way for Rahane and a bowler. Rahane and Rohit can open the innings. You can't send an opener at number 7, it makes no sense.

[NareshK]

We absolutely need a 5th bowling option because Ashwin is a decent batsman and B Kumar looks decent with the bat. Someone like Irfan Pathan should be in the team. As he is injured, Mishra or another specialist seamer should be tried. I have seen enough of Rohit Sharma in ODIs. He has been the biggest fail I have seen other than Umar Akmal. He is getting too much credit for his fluke knocks in IPL and FC on patta wickets.

Its the mindset.We blame everything rather than ourselves.

[JourneyMan]

I'd rather replace Gambhir/Sehwag than Rohit. Rohit Sharma can still come good, Gambhir and Sehwag are at the end of their careers. In the long run, it makes more sense sticking with young talent than over-the-hill legends.

Why the hell does Gambhir deserve to sit out ? And that too more than Rohit ? :giggle: Rohit is averaging freaking 13 this year.

[ExpressPace]

Shami should replace Rohit for next two games.

See if you play 5 bowlers.Dhoni will still turn to kohli,yuvraj,raina .He just cannot help it.

[Cevno]

Well, i did say the batting is too be blamed more than the bowling. But there is no freaking way you can say that the Toss didn't play a part. Or the 2 bad decisions.

Conditions were overcast throughout.Yes toss plays a part but you need to overcome that like england did in tests.We also had dhoni dropped by misbah .

[NareshK]

See if you play 5 bowlers.Dhoni will still turn to kohli' date='yuvraj,raina .He just cannot help it.[/quote'] Yuvraj could be a decent option against non SC teams. SC teams pick him quite easily and he will be easy to hit because he bowls at least one or two long hops an over. Same with Jadeja. Against SC teams, there should always be an extra seamer than a spinner. Better if he can also bat a bit like Irfan.
