Crookbond Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 then Umesh'll miss out I guess Our first choice bowling line up (as of now) would be - Umesh, Bhuvanesh, Ishant, Ashwin, Jadeja. The warm-up games will decide if Umesh continues to hold his spot over Vinay.
vvvslaxman Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 But Dhoni for some reason back this VK . Also don't bank too much on Umesh . he doesnt have a great ODI career either. My only hope is the condition will help him.
Crookbond Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 from dhoni's interview' date=' it looks to be certain 5 specialist bowlers will be used, so Jadeja is in. Also, he wants Vijay/Dhawan at the top. I[b'] think Rohit will miss out so lineup, because Dhoni wants DK in the middle order. will be probably this Vijay Dhawan Kohli Raina KDK Jadeja Dhoni Ashwin Bhuvi Ishant Vinay Kumar/Yadav Rohit may be preferred over Karthik as of now.
Lord Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Our first choice bowling line up (as of now) would be - Umesh' date=' Bhuvanesh, Ishant, Ashwin, Jadeja. The warm-up games will decide if Umesh continues to hold his spot over Vinay.[/quote'] as I said.Irfan has a strong case over both VK and Umesh.
veer Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Pathan Dhawan Kohli KDK Raina Rohit Sharma Dhoni Jadeja Bhuvi Yadav Ishant Murli should stay away.. not sure why they even picked him.
FischerTal Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Rohit may be preferred over Karthik as of now. :hmmm: cricketnext source was saying rohit is back-up opener while KDK is seen as middle order specialist by dhoni. although you may be right though because our media isnt too trustworthy :giggle: heres the link http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/we-will-be-forced-to-play-five-specialist-bowlers-dhoni/395023-78.html
Lord Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Rohit may be preferred over Karthik as of now. Dhoni has hinted that Rohit is there as an opener.dunno he'll start or Vijay.Karthik will be there in MO
Crookbond Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 as I said.Irfan has a strong case over both VK and Umesh. Irfan will play as a swap for Jadeja and not Vinay or Umesh.
G_B_ Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 i think we will start with Dhavan Vijay combo in the warms ups if they fail rohit will come in
vvvslaxman Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Irfan will play as a swap for Jadeja and not Vinay or Umesh. That is what i hope too... This is where Yuvi's absence will be felt badly by India.
Lord Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Irfan will play as a swap for Jadeja and not Vinay or Umesh. I hope he starts.hes better than both VK and Umesh for the conditions.has a good record too in England
vvvslaxman Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I hope he starts.hes better than both VK and Umesh for the conditions.has a good record too in England He bowled very well in the CT match against Pakistan until the cowlasher Afretard hammered him for couple of sixes to change the game :((
Lord Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 He bowled very well in the CT match against Pakistan until the cowlasher Afretard hammered him for couple of sixes to change the game :(( yeah he should bowl all his overs upfront.is poor at the death,as are our most bowlers:((
Crookbond Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I hope he starts.hes better than both VK and Umesh for the conditions.has a good record too in England He won't start unless Jadeja is unfit.
Lord Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 He won't start unless Jadeja is unfit. :(( maybe he'll do well in warmups and thus can start :dontknow:
G_B_ Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 hmm big risk by India IMO picking Ashwin. On pitches which dont suit spin. for the warm ups Dhawan Vijay Kohli Raina Dhoni kkd/rohit Jadeja Pathan Bhuvi Umesh Ishant this is the team i will try out.
yoda Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 BTW Dhoni only said KKD is middle order as opposed to an opener, doesn't mean he is in XI. Likely XI based on Dhoni's comments: Vijay, Dhawan, Kohli, Raina, Rohit, Dhoni, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Yadav, Ishant, Ashwin Possible swaps - KKD for Rohit, Vinay for Ishant, Irfan for Jadeja - all unlikely.
Rocky Balboa Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Irfan, jadeja and Ashwin will play. Bhuvan and Ishu would be his next choice, not Umesh. If they have to rest someone, it would be Ishu not Irfan. u can c how confident Dhoni was with Irfan when he sent him to open in t 20 wc matches.
Crookbond Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 BTW Dhoni only said KKD is middle order as opposed to an opener, doesn't mean he is in XI. Likely XI based on Dhoni's comments: Vijay, Dhawan, Kohli, Raina, Rohit, Dhoni, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Yadav, Ishant, Ashwin Possible swaps - KKD for Rohit, Vinay for Ishant, Irfan for Jadeja - all unlikely. I think you got it right. :nice: This will most likely be the first game line up unless something untoward happens in warm ups.
