TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 It's been known for quite a while now that India's middle order has been struggling. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina both lost form and adding to India's woes in the Asia Cup, Dhoni was sidelined due to a side-strain injury. India is sorely lacking some much-needed firepower in the middle order. The likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu have only been able to derail India's momentum in the middle overs. Would you trust Stuart Binny's batting enough to play him at the same position Dhoni did at No. 6? India would need someone who has the able to shift to 5th gear in the end overs and Binny looks to be the only other possible option who can do that. He has been in good form with the bat as of late so it might be worth a try. If Binny was to play as a No. 6, this would be my team: Shikhar Dhawan Cheteshwar Pujara Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma Dinesh Karthik Stuart Binny Ravindra Jadeja Ravichandran Ashwin Mohammed Shami Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Ishwar Pandey Varun Aaron
coffee_rules Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Looking at the squad, India is going to get creamed in this cup. too much inexperience.
Blue Star Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Looking at the squad' date=' India is going to get creamed in this cup. too much inexperience.[/quote'] wrong. We will reach the finals.
GautiMaan Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Its a risk that we will have to take at some point looking at lack of finishers in the squad
Blue Star Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Binny has a very good domestic batting record. He can be a destructive player. Not as bad as you guys suggest to be honest.
adi B Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Looking at the squad' date=' India is going to get creamed in this cup. too much inexperience.[/quote'] we are heavily dependent on few individuals like kohli,dhawan in the batting unit.hopefully chepu can hold one end so the other batsmen can play bit fearlessly.. the good thing is we have got 5 bowlers and pishant is out,the pace bowlers aint bad.kohli will have to look for wkts
Lord Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 No.might as well bat Jaddu and Ashwin ahead of him if he plays
BlueBee Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Yes, only 1 chance, if fails then Jaddu ahead of him
bowl_out Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Same team. Let Ashwin open....Push Pujara to No. 4....Binny will be pushed to 7....
King Tendulkar Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Binny in a world cup in oz will be hilarious on those tracks
cowboysfan Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 No.he is a good domestic player but not international class
GolGappe Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Most likely line up Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahane, Rayudu, Karthik, Jadeja, Ashwin, Aaron, Bhuvi, and Shami. I'd go with Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Karthik, Rohit, Karthik, Ashwin, 3 Seamers. Batting is really thin. Too much pressure on Dhawan and Kohli to do builk of scoring.
rahulrulezz Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 He is a way better batsman than Jadeja..
Sean Bradley Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 He is there because of his father, he hardly makes an impact in IPL, this is intl. cricket we are talking about here.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Never. Daddy got him a quota seat like Rohan got once and so will Arjun
beetle Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I will not support him till his dad gives up being a selector.
