Lord Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 YOu can consider Yuvraj as a full time spinner. That gives us an option to have 3 seamers. One will be taken by Bhuvan. You could pick any 2 out of the remaining 4 pace bowlers and start praying. but I dont want the option of 3 seamers with the seamers we have. I'd play 3 spinners+Yuvraj+BK and Ishant/Unadkat
kubrickian Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 What's with the attitude of some people calling any ODI series meaningless nowadays ? So only the Ashes series matters ? Why cant Eng and Aus quit playing other teams already and just stick to playing 4 Ashes series in a year as only this series seems to matter to them ? With the few countries that play cricket, there will be very little "meaningful" cricket if you think ODI series are meaningless. So are we supposed to only care about World Cup which comes around once every 4 years or a test series with England or Australia which we play once every 3 years or so ? Does Cricket have any chance of surviving if everyone thinks only WC or test series is worth watching ? Terrible attitude to have.
Laaloo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 boards require funds Mr.Chappell. and pujara requires runs on flat rajkot and ranchi pitches
Desi Cartman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 When was the last time an aussie (or anybody) criticized a 3 month tour to Australia ? Whats the logic to play so many tests followed by "useless" ODIs and T20s, all on the same tour ?
FischerTal Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 and pujara requires runs on flat rajkot and ranchi pitches :fail: trolling at its best B->
kubrickian Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Bowlers should be B Kumar, Ishant, Ashwin, Jadeja, Mishra, Yuvraj. Rest - Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni.
Junyfan Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Mishra is not a bad bowler.may be a bit slow but Aussies will struggle against leggy
Sid_SuhaiL Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Kinda agree with him.. a 7 match series is boring.
rahulrulezz Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 This VKoomar is like a leech. Sala was there in 8-0 drubbing in England n Oz, we lost most Odis too but this piece of trash is still there
jalebi_bhai Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Should go with: Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, UV, Raina, Dhoni, Sir, Ashwin, Mishra, Bhuvi, Lambu......... Exploit the Aussies' weakness against spin.........
Stuge Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Everyone is worried about dollars else why he would have be working and giving news interviews .
Scarves Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 When was the last time an aussie (or anybody) criticized a 3 month tour to Australia ? Whats the logic to play so many tests followed by "useless" ODIs and T20s' date= all on the same tour ? Quite a lot actually. That's why there isn't a tri-series anymore. The ODIs aren't the issue (7 of them are) but it is the timing which is just before the Ashes but they should arrive just in time for I think two Shield matches. Australia still needs to find a No.6/No.5. It is a battle between Hughes, Bailey, Voges, Wade and I guess Doolan to a certain extent. It will be two spots as Clarke is likely to be out for the first test.
Scarves Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I think Australia will be playing Finch Maddo Watson Bailey Haddin Maxwell Faulkner Johnson Coulter-Nile McKay Doherty Voges is injured and isn't going to be playing for the T20. ODIs I'm not sure. Spin on T20 will be overrated because Finch, Watson, Maxwell, Faulkner have played T20's a lot in India. Bailey and Haddin are good players of spin.
SLICKR392 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 At least this time it's only limited-overs and very few of the Test players will be involved in the tour. What is he suggesting here? Cancel any series/tours prior to the Ashes?
Unleashed Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 It's not a co-incidence that all this moaning about too many ODI series have only started to come from the aussies when they've gotten crap at it.

It will be two spots as Clarke is likely to be out for the first test. Apart from Watson Faulkner and Hughes, rest everybody is playing shield cricket. I dont see the issue. Australia (especially after the Clarke injury) have two very separate ODI/T20 and Test teams Number 6 from various reports seems to be Steven Smith

People don't realize that it was part of the tour that got split up due to the Ashes and CLT. Smith will be No.5 So Australia will be likely Warner Rogers Watson Clarke/Bailey/Hughes/Voges Smith Hughes/Bailey/Voges Haddin Johnson/Starc/Bird Siddle Lyon Harris
G_B_ Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 ^ i think Cowan will bat at 3. I doubt Voges or Bailey are in the aussie plans from what i am reading
