The sham called 2015 WC preparation

[jairamesh]

Gambhir's head has rolled unless he performs against Aussies... What I meant was in the dead rubber' date=' we could have tried Pujara, a better batsman than yuvraj for these conditions[/quote'] Of course true. The sane and logical decision would have been to play Pujara. But Dhoni and selectors don't like to make rational decisions, they like to think outside the box:hehe:

[panther]

Rotation policy was for 100 100th.

[jairamesh]

Well done dumb feck Dhoni, wasted this dead rubber.

[saneindian]

Give the MoM to Dhoni for his pathetic team selection.

[Sooda]

Youre right, daft not to play both Rahane and Pujara. Ideal match for it

See as shastri said dhoni wanted to make a statement {yes you heard it right statement }by beating english 4-1.Have u heard manjrekar moan about media not giving attention to indias no 1 tag in odis.

[ganeshran]

And at the end of the match he says it is a very young side so it will learn with the time. :haha:

Karma will catch Dhoni very soon. Pujara will be his boss.

I hope Dhoni's batting average falls to 5.00 before the 2015 WC.:om:

Ganguly-Azhar type scenario.

[Dumbbells]

Yuvraj will most probably not play 2015 world cup.. whats the point of playing him in ODI's? I hope India moves on atleast after champions trophy

Why won't he play in 2015 wc? To be honest Pujara is not good enough for ODIs. Dhoni wanted 4-1 and played the best 11. Are u gonna say Pujara's inclusion would have done some magic in this match? nope.

why?because he hasnt done well in IPL? and he surely would have done better than 0 off 3 and 15 runs in 2 overs

No, even in Test matches, he was mighty slow. His strike rate is very poor just like Rahane. Both Pujara and Rahane are not good enough for Odis.

No' date=' even in Test matches, he was mighty slow. His strike rate is very poor just like Rahane. Both Pujara and Rahane are not good enough for Odis.[/quote'] in Test Matches,SR doesnt matter a lot.hes done well in List A and other OD matches he has played.can score quick enough too

[Dumbbells]

in Test Matches' date='SR doesnt matter a lot.hes done well in List A and other OD matches he has played.can score quick enough too[/quote'] I will be happy if I am proven wrong, but still I am not sure about Pujara and Rahane in Odis.

[Laaloo]

and some people here thought Sachin was blocking a place in the team :cantstop:
