Switchblade Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Bigger question is what caused the side strain?... I wish there can be a thread in the chitchat section where your legendary quotes are updated :hatsoff: the memorable Smackdowns and the weird gay fantasies of Dhoni and Ishant it really cracks me up :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
GautiMaan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Im hoping that we wont have to chase 350 everytime,Pak and SL are not as beastly as Aus,so MSD may not be missed that much,my lineup would be Dhawan Rahane Chepu Kohli Rohit Dk Jaddu Ashwin Bk Aaron Shami Rohit and Kohli have to drop down as Chepu and Rahane wont be able to score freely in the middle overs.Hope Rayudu is dropped,was painful to watch him in NZ

TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Dhawan Rahane Chepu Kohli Rohit Dk Jaddu Ashwin Bk Aaron Shami Rohit and Kohli have to drop down as Chepu and Rahane wont be able to score freely in the middle overs.Hope Rayudu is dropped,was painful to watch him in NZ Might as well send Rohit Sharma down the order then. Pujara to open and Kohli one down as always. And Rahane should NOT be in the ODI team.
South_Paw Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Seems people have started finding excuses for Kholi's failure so soon. Personally would have loved to see him captaining overseas as there is no need of a captain for India in sub continent. But with the kind of opening pair we have got, we definitely need Dhoni's power hitting. Guess Dhoni pulled out by himself as he wants to prove his importance. But there exists a slender chance that it may back fire on him.
GautiMaan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Might as well send Rohit Sharma down the order then. Pujara to open and Kohli one down as always. And Rahane should NOT be in the ODI team. What do you do when the alternative is Rayudu:banghead:

GautiMaan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 ^ No need to be so happy,we might crash out in the first round and Dhoni will be back as the saviour,he has that simmarasi(lucky star)
Lord Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 my XI Chepu Dhawan Kohli Rohit DK Binny Jaddu Ashwin BK Shami Aaron
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 What do you do when the alternative is Rayudu:banghead: You play Rayudu. Ajinkya Rahane has been extremely poor in ODIs. I'm convinced that he simply does not have the game to play in the middle order in one-dayers. Sending him at No. 3 would mean sending Kohli lower down and that simply shouldn't happen. If you want to send him as an opener, I'd rather have Pujara in that position who has done much better in List-A cricket than Rahane has.
GautiMaan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 ^ Rayudu has a strike rate of 60,we are playing on tracks where the average score might be 320,atleast Rahane could do some damage in the top order,Rayudu will totally kill the momentum in the middle overs.
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 ^ Rayudu has a strike rate of 60,we are playing on tracks where the average score might be 320,atleast Rahane could do some damage in the top order,Rayudu will totally kill the momentum in the middle overs. I honestly don't remember the last time Rahane did some damage at the top of the order in an ODI, so you're probably asking him to do something he hasn't done before. For the record, Ajinkya Rahane's ODI strike rate is 70.66, so he's probably the last person we could expect a quick start from.
GautiMaan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Im not saying Rahane is going to win us a game on his own I'd prefer to try Samson/Jadhav/Jaggi,but if the choice is between Rahane and Rayudu,I'd go for Rahane.
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Another option could be to pick Binny and play Ashwin at No. 6, followed by Binny and Jadeja.

Switchblade Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Isn't that from WC final? Gambo Get well soon, skip. What a final it was sadly now Gambhir is out of the side and not the same anymore :((
The Realist Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 ^Looking at that picture, Y Pathan has just disappeared from the scene, he would actually be quite useful in Asian conditions... :P

beetle Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It is his heart.He is heart broken because of the exclusion of Ishant.:giggle: Good time for Kohli to step up and show if he has it in him to lead for a long term.
