NareshK Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 This is for ODIs in these conditions. 1) The pitches in Aus, NZ and SA usually don't help spinners much. Indian team depends on spinners in middle overs(20-25 overs) to take wickets and stop runs. But here, they won't be too effective. So we need a seamer all rounder. We need an option of 40 overs of seam bowling. 2) Seamers here generally try to bowl 2 bouncers per over because of the bounce in the wicket. If they bowl around the chest area, they could bowl a few more. Trying to play a shot off the bouncer has an element of risk and can get a wicket. But our bowlers are generally not good at bowling good bouncers as we are not hit the deck type bowlers and mostly float the ball across the surface like B Kumar. Also, the pace has to be around 140 mark if the bouncer has to be effective which we lack. This is something we need to work on. 3) Some of our batsmen are not used to the bounce on these wickets and struggle against short delivery like Raina. We need batsmen who can score off the short deliveries in these conditions. Give chances to Rayudu or Pujara to see if they can do better. The style of play and tactics need to be different here and the team has to adjust if we want to win consistently here. If you are just adamant and stick to your "winning formula" and not wiling to adapt, we will struggle.
rkt.india Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Seam alrounder try to Rishi Dhawan rather than Binny who is neither a batsman nor a bowler. Dhawan is bowling alrounder. Lets try him on England tour,
The Realist Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Somebody tell Captain Phillips that cause the words "adjust", "flexibile" and "winning formula" don't exist in his limited vocabulary.
tweaker Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The team management should utilise the squad ie, Rayuddu,Aoran,Pandey,Mishra instead of playing their favourite players ie, Raina,Ishant,Jadeja
