Cricketics Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Why Aaron is getting judged after one match? I am not judging, I am just saying he isn't sure shot for next series. I will give him a run if I am the captain or selector, but if he fails in next 2, he can be easily dropped by the selectors. I am not sharing my view point on who should be picked or not, I am just stating some facts that these guys have been the only players who have some credible stats to be picked or not dropped for the next series. Jadeja/Ashwin might not have been great like others in bowling, but their batting will easilly give them another series.
vvvslaxman Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Be patient. We are in the middle of a transition. We are slowly identifying who is hack who is the real deal. CT was good and all. But we cannot extrapolate those results in future and expect the same outcome everywhere. Whatever that happened in India shoudl be taken with a pinch of salt. It didn't exactly help us to start a tour straightaway without even practice match. Some guys are dead slow in adapting to the conditions. By the time they do series would be over.
bulbul Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It's not Kannada , its temil...:giggle: Velu is die hard CSK fan , he was beaten in Chinnaswamy stadium because he is loudly shouting against RCB players during a match, so a old lady irritated by loud noise and beer smell slapped him using a old umbrella...he even put the photo in Facebook last year :haha:
PAA-G Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 No...this is what you call the result of sleeping with dogs... 1.NZC joins hands with BCCI 2.Hapless indian players find it difficult to win a match on their own. 3.BCCI flexes its muscles. 4.In the mid way of the series decider NZ players suddenly start dropping easy catches,missing regulation stumpings,run outs. 5.India "miraculously" saves the match and keep the series alive.. Feel bad for for the common NZ cricket fan.They'd be thinking they just saw a great cricket match...Hopefully they'll understand the reality after a few more of these "miracles",just the way us SL fans did when SL "lost" the WC to IND... still cant forget guptil's catch of ashwin....one of the most memorable of series....if it was fixed he too could have given 6er to fatwin like bhuvi gave to southee
cowboysfan Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Martin crowe and Gavaskar are suggesting Jadeja at 4 in cricinfo That's just dumb,jaddu still is very very SSuspect against fast bowling.

Gollum Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Ashwin at 6 will put a lot of pressure on him. Let him come at 7 and try to better his bowling.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Ashwin at 6 will put a lot of pressure on him. Let him come at 7 and try to better his bowling. Ashwin at 7 makes sense. Issue with him at 7 is that it means we are employing two spinners and 3 pacers if jadeja plays. That limits the option of using a seam all rounder. Jadeja is a better bowler on current form and played an equally awesome knock to save the match and took wickets. If Ashwin is to stay in the team, it should be as a batsman or out because we should try out other spinners. Its his batting that has saved him.
kubrickian Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 We need a seamer all rounder(4th seamer) and need to attack more with seamers in these conditions. The spinners could bowl well on a few occasions but they will generally struggle to pick wickets and stop runs. I don't mind having Ashwin and Jadeja in the lineup as they are both good lower order hitters. If Raina can be replaced with Binny or Rishi Dhawan who are also capable of slogging 30 runs off 25 balls in death and bowl seam up, we will have much better bowling options in Aus/NZ.
AnkurUpadhyay Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 If team management decides to promote Ashwin to no 7, then his bowling will dip even further. I can see him going the Ravi Shastri way.
Gollum Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 If team management decides to promote Ashwin to no 7' date=' then his bowling will dip even further. I can see him going the Ravi Shastri way.[/quote'] I feel he has the potential to bat like Martyn or VVS, he looks that good.
express bowling Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Dhawan Pujara Kohli Rahane/ Rohit Rohit/ K.Jadav Dhoni Ashwin/ Seam Alrounder Jaddu BK Aaron Shami Pandey replaces Shami or BK Umesh replaces Aaron If any of the above needs rest or is injured.
SLICKR392 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Switching slots with the same line up should go- Rohit-Rahane (Open/#4) Raina-Dhoni(#5/#6) Ashwin-Jaddu Kohli should be untouches at #3 and hopefully we find a good opener and #4.
GolGappe Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Not convinced with Rahane in the middle order. Hopefully he will step up in next 2 games. He usually takes 20-25 balls to get going and if India is chasing 300+, this luxury can't be afforded. Yuvraj was such an ace ODI batsman. Got going right away, was a mad man in slog overs, and delivered in key game. Huge shoes to fill for Rahane.
GolGappe Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Ashwin is a better batsman than Dhoni and Jadeja in bowler-friendly conditions. India should be flexible with his batting position.
Switchblade Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 On decision to field first If we ask the batsmen to bat first and give the bowlers a total, in a way then we are taking some pressure off them But the other way is that we might ask the batsmen to give 325-340 runs to bowlers every time they bat, irrespective of wherever they are playing. The short grounds are something we have to keep in mind. http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/ravindra-jadeja-just-needs-to-get-his-thinking-right-mahendra-singh-dhoni/
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 The Sky studio commentators were praising Fletcher for the decision to bowl first. They were saying that since India is so good at batting first, fletcher was planning for the World cup, just in case we were asked to bowl first in the world cup. I was sitting here and wondering, when was the last time we actually batted first and we might lose touch in posting big scores if we all do is chase.
