Austin 3:!6 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Virat Kohli must open the innings The way Rohit is going, he is killing the entire momentum at the start. India always blessed with flamboyant openers who can bat in all conditions against all attacks. Likes of Ganguly, Sachin, Sehwag, Gambhir etc. I think it wont be a bad idea if we open the batting with Kohli in ODI's. He has technique, skill, class and ability to score big runs. He can be the perfect replacement for Sachin as an ODI opener as he is at no.4 in tests.
Lord Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Binny shouldn't worry him lol he should bat at 8 below Ashwin for the moment.if we r batting first and need quick runs he can come in at 7 as he has done okay there
shortbread Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 NO Bad idea!! Rahane or Pujara opens and sees of the new ball. Virat is by far our best bat and exposing him to the new ball is just a recipe for disaster.
diga Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 At the risk of ridicule,its better to try binny in place of ashwin/jadeja
G_B_ Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 the big issue india faces is (A) do they bring in another batsman like Rayadu at 7 and play Jadeja/Ashwin at 8 with Raina/Kohli filling in the fifth bowler quota 0r (B) they continue to do in with sir/ashin and hope the top 6 make it count.
G_B_ Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 My fear is Binny is not good enough with bat or ball.
Pagalpanti Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 India need a pace bowling A/R. Ash-Jadeja combination worked in CT and WI because they had dry pitches. Out of Jadeja/Ashwin. Jadeja is better pick cuz he is a better fielder and bowler (away).
skindia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 rishi dhawan is ideal player to replace jaddu
JourneyMan Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Jadeja gets in on bowling alone. He's also an excellent fielder. If he starts batting properly, it would be a bonus, but he could continue getting ducks his whole career and still make it based on bowling.
skindia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 his bowling is ineffective outside subcontinent...he is effective only against england
thecricketer Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 time for you to get banned for telling the truth ? How long we have to carry Dhoni's favourites ?
skindia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Mayank agarwal should be groomed if robin is not in their plans as opener
special K Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 You won't get out the group stage of the WC. On Aus pitch India don't stand a chance.
Zero_Unit Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 for telling the truth ? How long we have to carry Dhoni's favourites ? Truth hurts sometimes. Who do you expect to lead the team then if you take Dhoni out?
shortbread Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 You won't get out the group stage of the WC. On Aus pitch India don't stand a chance. 4 teams will make it, SA, Aus, NZ and India. At this rate I dont think England will qualify for the next World Cup!! Didnt Aus beat you in the ODI series at home as well?!
skindia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Kohli can be good captain for australia wc...but dhoni needed in team
skindia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 srilanka plays well in big tournaments so they will make SF
express bowling Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 At the risk of ridicule' date='its better to try binny in place of ashwin/jadeja[/quote'] Given that we are stuck with Binny in this tour, it is not such a bad idea. Playing two spinners , who cannot bat much in ODIs, makes little sense outside the subcontinent.
