Need to remove weak links from this champion Indian team

[MCcricket]

Ishant , Vinay need to go, Pankaj and Suyal need to come in asap, our pace attack is weak and Ishant is horrible.

[Lord]

Brings lot more than just batting. Best fielder' date=' can slip in with useful overs, very chirpy on the field.[/quote'] DK is a good fielder too.and can allow Dhoni to bowl in those conditions:--D main thing is batting and Raina is way 'short' for the conditions

[Sachin=GOD]

Raina has been among the best finishers in the game for a few years now and some people want him to be dropped :facepalm:

[StriKe]

Sir's average is infinity

:hail Sir

That indeed is a plus point :D But Raina has been one of the best LOI players for us. No sense in dropping him.

Shami/Mohit in Ishant's place Gambhir in Vijay's place Yuvi in Karthik's place (Maybe not ASAP but surely in the long run looking ahead at 2015 WC) Rahane in Rohit's place (Same as above)

Yuvi and Karthikh should both be in the squad IMO. you still want to drop Rohit after he exceeded all expectations here and gave a solid start with Dhawan in almost all matches!!!! he has done well in opening and he will do well at this position if given more chances.

:headshake: Raina is among our best ODI players in the last 4-5 years - selectors/Dhoni won't even think about dropping him.

hes best in SC yes but in Aus/SA/Eng he usually struggles.would be huge gamble if he is in WC squad in Australia.DK is much safer bet imo

[Cricashfaq]

We won thats great but still there are few players who shouldn't be part of this team. Dinesh Karthik : Didn't do anything extra ordinary in this CT other than 1 50. Played very well in warm ups but failed in real matches. Ishant 'unlucky went lucky for 1 over' Sharma : No comments. Murali Vijay : Doesn't deserve to be in team Don't know what has he done in ODI's. Amit Mishra : Uncle jee is another domestic bully. Will wait and see how he performs in West Indies if dhoni decides to play him instead of ashwin. Guys i want to see as their replacements Mohit Sharma, Pujara and Gambhir. Whats your opinion?

Dinesh Karthik didnt get many chances during the group games as the opening partnership was solid. Amit Mishra deserves a chance ISHANT SHARMA ":((" be replaced by Mohit Sharma MURALI VIJAY REALLY NEEDS TO BE OUT OF THE TEAM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY Yuvraj Singh or Pujara

he exceeded expectations only because none from him seeing his career he had a decent CT at best.no way has he turned the corner yet or secured his place

Oh....you are discussing for the 2015 WC...abhi kitna time baaki hai aur yahan log squad decide kar rahe hai

Read carefully man. I said not ASAP, but in the long run if he continues to throw away such starts. Batted well in first 2 matches, but thats it. The way he was out in the SF was ridiculous and even in yesterday though the ball nipped back sharply, his feet were nowhere. He should be given more chances but he still doesn't has a permanent place in the team.

He was second highest run getter last time around in England behind MSD. Hasn't played much in SA but he has played well against South African bowlers in other conditions.

[Sachin=GOD]

so most people did not have any expectations from him but he had a decent tournament and provided a very good opening partnership in 4 out of 5 matches so now you want to encourage him by dropping him from the side? You have to remember that this was the first time he was opening in ODIs - and that too in such an important tournament in England so if he has exceeded expectations (however low those expectations might have been) then the way forward should be to give him more chances in opening and that is what I expect will happen.

he averaged 40 in England last time IIRC.and those werent typical English pitches and hes played just one less match in SA and 2 less in Aus. point is he struggles against bounce and with 2 bouncer rule now,hes a huge risk in Australia

He won't struggle against all teams. Even Lungans tried to bowl short but at heir pace he can smoke them easily. Just because of one weakness, you can;t drop one of the finest players.
