JaFanatic Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday retained the squad for the remaining two ODIs against England in the ongoing ODI series. The decision was made after Team India thrashed the hosts by 7 wickets in the 3rd ODI played at Ranchi. Minutes after the victory, the official BCCI account tweeted about the team being retained. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has retained the team that has taken a 2-1 lead in the ongoing Airtel ODI series against England, for the last two matches of the series, to be played at Mohali and Dharamsala on 23 January 2013 and 27 January 2013 respectively," a release from the BCCI said. After losing the first ODI, the Indian team bounced back to win the next two games and lead the five-match series 2-1. TEAM: Mahendra Singh Dhoni ©, Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashok Dinda and Shami Ahmed. http://zeenews.india.com/sports/cricket/india-vs-england-2012/indian-team-unchanged-for-final-two-odis_755318.html
Cevno Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah, posted in the match thread. Would have liked to see Dinda and Ishant dropped tbh. Maybe even Gambhir. Dhoni probably needs a rest too. Ah well!

Cevno Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Nohit stayed in team due to lack of options, no ? Tiwary is fit now. What's the point of Mishra there, btw ?
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Nohit stayed in team due to lack of options, no ? Tiwary is fit now. What's the point of Mishra there, btw ? pathetic squad,side effect of winning:((
Cevno Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I mean might as well call up some untested pacer or spinner, so that the team management can have a look even if you don't want to play him. What's the point of Mishra there ? He has been sitting with the team since Pak series.
CG Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 seriously i feel selectors have 2 squads .one if we lose and one if we win the match on the day.
Crookbond Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 seriously i feel selectors have 2 squads .one if we lose and one if we win the match on the day. :haha: I am 100% sure they do!
CG Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 :haha: I am 100% sure they do! Yeah ,Minutes after every match in middle of series it is announced.They may be selecting two squads with some cosmetic changes if we lose.
Vivek.S.123 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 My Squad would have been: 1. Ajinkya Rahane 2. Cheteshwar Pujara 3. Virat Kohli 4. Yuvraj Singh 5. Suresh Raina 6. MS Dhoni (CAPTAIN & WK) 7. Ravindra Jadeja 8. Ravichandran Ashwin 9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar 10. Ishant Sharma 11. Shami Ahmed (STARTING XI ^) 12. Shikhar Dhawan 13. Ambati Rayudu 14. Amit Mishra 15. Sreesanth
kubrickian Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I would have liked to see some new pacer or spinner selected from FC for the last 2 ODIs, so that if we won the next game they could have been given a chance in the dead rubber. Its this reluctance to select young talent over the years which has made finding replacements for seniors tough now in test side. Selectors kept playing it safe as long as the side kept winning or performing decently and didnt have a vision for the future.
