The Outsider Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why does the OP Paki care about the Indian team selection?? Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I can already foresee another selfish inning coming up from Gauti. He'll do anything to cross 50 and keep his place and give :finger: to team cause. Well if he does everything he can to score runs and try and stay in team, to be honest cant see anything wrong with that:--D Link to comment
SLICKR392 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rahane has played all the matches against England in the last 2 years. Link to comment
diga Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I did not know that Kohli averages nearly 50 in ODI's .. & Nohit who debuted before him averages a measly 30 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I would want Gambhir out as well. Pujara, Rahane, Kohli, Raina, Jadeja all excellent fielders in top 7. Link to comment

Pujara' date=' Rahane, Kohli, Raina, Jadeja all excellent fielders in top 7.[/quote'] +1 Players have to earn their place by performance and not by reputation... In the current setup, unfortunately, there are still some more who are hanging on by their reputation. If Jadeja solves our fifth bowler issues, I would want Yuvi out too for 2015 worldcup Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 let rahane open with pujara :P Link to comment
NareshK Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rahane should also try to play a long innings and try to build partnerships. He seems to be playing too many shots as he is replacing Sehwag in the lineup. No point trying to imitate Sehwag. Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 yeah agree with that but lets give him 2-3 games atleast im sure he wil do well atleast in odis dont know yet abt tests Link to comment

Lord Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 whats India record since the 2 new balls came in place? not too good Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 yeah agree with that but lets give him 2-3 games atleast im sure he wil do well atleast in odis dont know yet abt tests rahane's fc avrg 62.23 & his list A avrg 36.89 may be he is more comfortable with no rr pressure Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 rahane's fc avrg 62.23 & his list A avrg 36.89 may be he is more comfortable with no rr pressure thats just stats i think im letting saurav brainwash me here:hysterical: Link to comment
kubrickian Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 rahane's fc avrg 62.23 & his list A avrg 36.89 may be he is more comfortable with no rr pressure Opening batsmen shouldnt even worry about RR as there are good hitters and finishers in the lineup unless they are chasing 325+. The important thing is to get the side off to a good start by playing proper cricket shots. Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree RKT' date=' but all I want to say is, let him be there for a bit longer. Every player should be given a fair run before dumping. We have already lost so many players. Maybe guys like Dinda, need a lot more backing before they eventually start performing.[/quote'] 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 Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Haven't they been using two new balls since the last England series in India? Since then we haven't done badly, 29 ODIs, won 20, lost 9 , best w/l ratio since then. 5-0 vs England, 4-1 vs WI, 4-1 vs SL, 1-2 vs Pak, 2-1 in Asia Cup and 3-4 in CB series. Kohli had carried a non perofrming top order so far, with him suffering loss of form, the top order is now getting exposed consistently http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;orderby=win_loss_ratio;spanmin1=10+oct+2011;spanval1=span;template=results;type=team Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I dont think BK, Shami and Ishant will be effective on flat tracks like they are on pitches with some assistance. But I would rather see them learning to bowl in flat conditions than having Vinay Kumar and Dinda who are 'LOI' specialists who struggle to pick wickets in helpful conditions. Wicket taking bowlers will always win matches in ODIs. Vinay, i can still understand. But dude, check Dinda's Economy rate on flat tracks. He sucks everywhere in ODI's. Maybe can do a job in T20's but that's it. Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I did not know that Kohli averages nearly 50 in ODI's .. & Nohit who debuted before him averages a measly 30 That Nohit average is boosted by one good spell in 2011 to. That came after he had gotten like 50 matches averaging 24. He has so much talent for the future, that he never performs in the present. Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Mind you, he should probably be in the Test squad. He is a better FC player. Link to comment
