India hint at five-bowler strategy

[rkt.india]

On a dry pitch, you need bowlers who can reverse the ball. Ishant wont with his scrambeled seam.

He did against Australia in India. Ishant, Shami, Aaron on that wicket? I don't know how much either of Pandey and Pankaj can reverse.

We don't need Rohit,play Bunny

Gambhir,Dhawan,pujara,Kohli,Dhoni ,Rahane,Bunny,Ashwin, Jadeja,pandey,Shami

Play 7 batsman!!! Aim in the first match should be to go for the draw and see where we stand vis a ivis the English team and then evaluate whether we have a realistic chance of getting one over them

[undisputed chap]

No matter who plays it will be a curbstomp for the english. The main problem for us is we dont have a well balanced side. Instead of so called all rounders we need batsman who can bowl 10 miserly overs. The bowlers are expected to bowl many overs + field for long times in the field. Why cant the batsman bowl a few overs instead of standing about dropping catches after catches.

I have realized Dhoni is the reason I have lost my interest in watching cricket I last 2 years. The mother effer keeps selecting (and make them play games) his favorites like Ishant, VKumar, RSharma, MVijay and Jadeja I feel like puking every time I see ISharma,VKumar or RSharma in Indian colours

Its a dry pitch, rather play 2 spinners and 3 pacers.

[BlueBee]

No Rohit :whine:

It is all by chance with Ishant these days with his poor seam. If it was Ishant of 2008 then no issue. If he gets seam right, its good, otherwise just wish he can get the seam right. You cant reverse with scrambeled seam.

We don't need Rohit' date='play Bunny[/quote'] Binny will be useless on a dry pitch, rather play Ashwin who can bat better and if pitch offers turn, will be handy against lefties.

[Sachin=GOD]

I think Binny can do well in England. But they have to play Rohit - can drop Jadeja bcoz he isn't good enough to do well in England IMO.

Jadeja will do well as he did in CT13. Binny is of no use in a dry pitch, will get hammered all round.

[CSK Fan]

Shami is not match fit, Bhuvi is not very impressive and Ishant is Ishant. Pankaj, Aaron and Shami would hv been my pacers.

Yes, because Aaron has been super impressive :haha:

[Unleashed]

We're ****ed if Binny is in the team.

[Old guy]

Yes' date=' because Aaron has been super impressive :haha:[/quote'] Bhuvi just needs to look at how kp bowled...he will be useful here and much better option than Aaron

[cricketfan28]

jai dhoni ..

I guess Binny would be handy in English conditions. heck, even Collingwood at his age was looking dangerous in MCC ROW match.
