Learnings from the T20 WC 2014


Recommended Posts

-Raina is still a valuable LOI player (allrounder on SC pitches) and should have a fixed place in T20 and ODI XIs. -Kohli is our best LOI batsman, batting first or second (we already knew this), not only in ODIs but also in T20s (was in doubt, has now been confirmed). -Ashwin is still our best spinner on SC pitches -Mishra is a decent spinner in LOIs, but still vulnerable -Jaddu doesn't get the same bowling success in LOIs as he does in test cricket -Rahane isn't a big match player (gets nervous very quickly) -B Kumar is probably our most economical LOI opening bowler -Yuvraj is past it Still in doubt: -R Sharma: will he come good or is this the best he can do? I still hope he can come good -S Dhawan: same as above -MSD: has he got more batting left in him?

Gautam Gambhir should be brought back after his good form. yuvraj's spot should go to Rohit/Rahane based on whosoeve has better form . gambhir and dhawan/gambler and Rahane should be the opening partnership.

Only one learning - its friggin tamasha kirkut. Get over it.
Thats what Aus has been thinking for last 7 years and they are one of the nation who did not win the cup till now along with Bangladeshnand SA. Even England has a trophy in this format.

Don't go with players with iffy form. ALso horses for the courses. On slow pitches with short boundaries on one side someone like Yusuf could have been more deadly.

Also Dhoni and Yuvraj would have learned that its better to exit the tourney at knockouts rather than get pelted after reaching finals.Shame though.

IPL stint helped Mitch Johnson sort out his career. Flintoff took time off after the 1st Ashes Test in 2005 to play in the T20 semis. Came back and won the Ashes. :beee:

Take out Kohli and Indian batting is on par with Pakistan.
You're understimating Pakistani batting. Take out Kohli and we're on par with Bangladesh at the moment.
