asterix Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I thought the Indian openers adapted 'two tattey' theory long time back.. Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rohit is not a shocker but not great either. I think he may warrant a squad place. Raina is a good oid player. Has not fired in this series but still good limited overs player, young and defo should not be dropped. Good fielder as well. He should bat 6 and come in after hopefully a half decent start for slog overs , like 10 overs to go. Main bad call is mishra, which is just dumb He averages 13 last year in 16 matches with a strike rate of 65-70. How the hell does he warrant a place ? Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 dinda has already got 2-3 series..never for once did he trouble nay one with movement or swing he should carry on playing t20s Yeah, agreed. He just keeps bowling it too short and isn't even accurate. T20's yeah, but shouldn't be in the Tests or ODI squad. Link to comment

Sidhoni Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rayudu for Rohit Pankaj Singh for Dinda Mukund for Gambhir (maybe) One more batsman/Seamer for Mishra ( Suggestions ?) And i would have been happy. Tiwari for Rohit. Rest I agree. Link to comment
R.D forever Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 1 Pujara 2 Rahane 3 Dhoni 4 Kohli 5 Gambhir ( I feel that it would be better if he comes down the order after 20-25 overs . Very good player of spin ) 6 Raina 7 Ashwin 8 Jadeja 9 Kumar 10 Ishant 11 Shami Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Tiwary is injured, or else yeah he deserved a go ahead of Rayudu. Unless you meant Saurabh, in which case i disagree. Link to comment
Sidhoni Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Tiwary is injured, or else yeah he deserved a go ahead of Rayudu. Unless you meant Saurabh, in which case i disagree. I meant Manoj. If not him, then even guys like Bist/Chand etc can be tried. Link to comment
Lord Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Gambhir still finds a place in the side and so does Rohit :facepalm: Anyways, my playing XI will be somewhat like :- Rahane Kohli Pujara Yuvraj Dhoni Raina Jaeja Ashwin Mishra Bhuvanesh/Shami Ishant/Dinda Mishra?:facepalm: Link to comment
jj_28 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 MSD© Gauti Rahane Pujara Virat Rohit Yuvi Raina Ashwin Jadeja Mishra Ishant Bhuvi Dinda Shami LOL amazing But Pujara shouldn't open Gambhir Rahane Pujara Kohli Yuvraj Raina Dhoni Jadeja Kumar Ishant Ahmed Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why should Pujara not open ? Hasn't he done it for Saurashtra ? Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I meant Manoj. If not him' date=' then even guys like Bist/Chand etc can be tried.[/quote'] Chand is still too new and is a opener anyway. While, Bist is more suited to FC. Rayudu can both attack and defend well + has a good track record and pedigree behind him. Can keep if Dhoni again gets injured also. Link to comment
diga Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why should Pujara not open ? Hasn't he done it for Saurashtra ? Pujara has opened for Ind U-19, India - A & Saurashtra and still averages around 57 in List-A ckt.. he is certainly qualified to do ps: he has not been consistently opening Link to comment
vamos_rafa Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 dinda has already got 2-3 series..never for once did he trouble nay one with movement or swing he should carry on playing t20s I know. But, still we want a proper pool of fast bowlers. And it's not as if he has played full series or something. He has been chopped and changed too often. And for the record, I am not saying that he's a good bowler or something, time's too ripe to be judging that. It's just that let's give someone proper chance before being dumped. Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 How long though ? Others are waiting in the wings, while those like Pankaj are perenially ignored. Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 KT's 11 is a good one but I don't think Gambhir will be dropped. He'll get a chance atleast for the first couple of games imo. Link to comment

It's just that let's give someone proper chance before being dumped.[/quote'] hasnt he been playing for us since asia cup? i remember him getting pulled for six in sri lanka and after tht have we played any odis? he was not good here..lets give him english series too but i honestly dont see anything special about him if we wat pool of fast bowler ..first step should be find few decent bowlers who can perform.. and then jsut rotate them no matter what the performance so thatn o one gets injured and every one gets time to recover and over come flaws thats wht australia is doing now ..and its working Link to comment
Number Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 On the flatbed of Rajkot I think one extra bowler would be good. It's gonna be an absolute pancake, small boundaries and fast outfield and with 5 batsman and 3 all-rounders we should get 300+. Link to comment

maniac Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Perfect X1 but Gambhir is going to sneak in :((.... Also how long is I.Pathan out of action for? It will be very useful to have a bowler/Allrounder who can be a power hitter at 7-8....Ash,Jaddu and Bhuvan all can bat but don't think they can hit big Link to comment
