vvvslaxman Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 He did play at jaipur and nagpur where he got 141 and 80. Again home conditions.Come out with a valid explanation why he sucked balls in SA and NZ without telling "we should give him more time" "we should not write him off" Why did he fail. Wasn't he in whirlwind form right? The guy who hit 16 sixes in a match.. why could he not even touch the ball from Steyn for 3 overs?
StriKe Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It is true. You don't believe me? Just look at our history in ICC rankings. If i am right, if England wins both matches and we win 3-2..we will back to #1
CG Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 because ball loses pace rapidly on Indian pitches. So it is easier. For the amount of One dayers he has played if he can't sustain his form for more than 1 series then what good you are going to expect in future. He had 3-4 good series from england at home during last odis to ct to tri series in wi to aus in india.Sa odis everybody struggled and nz he has not got going.Its not as if he is getting bowled or lbw its more bad shots.

I6MTW Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If i am right' date=' if England wins both matches and we win 3-2..we will back to #1[/quote'] That is because we are still no 1. We haven't technically lost our ranking yet. I checked two hours ago.

England is not good series. He poked around at a strike rate of 60 to 65 . Dhawan took care of all the scoring. Then home track bullying of his favorite West Indies. First time he did something well against a team other than WI. It required some of the super flat pitches .

Then home track bullying of his favorite West Indies. First time he did something well against a team other than WI. It required some of the super flat pitches . He plays a role in the team which allows dhawan to be aggressive and he holds one end.It was working well in all our odi series victory.The tracks in wi were one of the harder tracks much harder than nz and he scored against srilanka too against whom he struggled in past.
CG Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Both times 360 were easily chased. Johnson went for 80 both times. Batting paradise. Our bowling and their bowling their is a world of diff and same pitches guys like raina and yuvi could not put bat to ball against johnson.
vvvslaxman Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 the picthes in nz have not been seaming or swinging that much.Its more form than anything. How can you lose form in a matter of one series? This guy has been around for eons. Okay why would you want to persist with a player who can't hold his form more than one series (that too at home). besides.. did you see how he struggled against both incoming and outgoing deliveries? Virat Kohli has been maintaining form for freaking last 3 years. This bozo who made before Kohli is yet to have a decent run of scores.
I6MTW Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Our bowling and their bowling their is a world of diff and same pitches guys like raina and yuvi could not put bat to ball against johnson. Raina and Yuvi both had short ball problems. All it took was one short ball to get rid of them. Rohit is a FTB. He handled the bowling well on Flat tracks.
AnkurUpadhyay Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 He bowls 120-130 in IPL t20 format. How hard can it be to shift pace? Many cricketers bowl 140+ in ODI and test cricket but keep it to 120-130+ in t20's. So maybe Binny can bowl 145-150. Who knows? Anything is possible Karnataka Typhoon coming. Beware Kiwis. :hysterical:
div Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Our bowling and their bowling their is a world of diff so who said our bowlers suck? ....remember that thread?
Sidhoni Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 you okay with Jaddu at 7 Basically backing the top 6 to do the job. Just assume we are playing with 5 bowlers, any runs from them is a bonus.
Sidhoni Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Pujara is not the solution to every problem. I think it's better for now he concentrates on tests.
cricketman Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 We have to invest in a talent like Dhawan. No need to drop him.
G_B_ Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Dhawan really needs a better opening partner. I think we should give it to Rahane. One thing Ajinkya can do is rotate the strike. Problem with opening with Rohit is that he wastes too many balls and keeps Dhawan off strike for a long time.
cricketman Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Aaron or Pandey in for Ishant. I think Ashwin should/will be dropped. I am one of Ashwin's biggest fans but he is proving to be ineffective. I wanna pull my hair out when I see him leak singles every over. Hope he comes back with a bang. I think he needs some time to work on his game.
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 rahane dhawan kohli ambati dhoni raina binny jadeja kumar aaron shami anyway dhoni will play a cringe worthy lineup, but i still posted this shamelessly
