Pandya's bowling has deteriorated in the last couple of months.

 

No accuracy, pace or  bounce.

 

Can't be the 5th bowler with this.

I think he needs to dropped or rested. He is finding it difficult to take the workload.

Looks like McGrath was 6'4" and passed himself off as 6'5"           ( if Starc's own claim of being 6'4" is correct  )  

he could have been 5'5' for all we know and could have been secretly wearing heels all these years! These bowlers, I tell you!

Bumrah hit de Kock  twice on the fingers in his first over with steeply rising deliveries.

 

Would it mean 3rd SA batsman missing from the 3rd ODI ?

True.   Needs to be rotated with Vijay Shankar (  or even Krunal Pandya on slower tracks )  in every format.

 

Will keep all of them fresh

Looks like Pandya needs to be out of scheme of things!

Our two wrist spinners spinning a web again.

 

It is high time we played one of Kuldeep or Chahal  in overseas test matches too ... as no one can read them

He should not be as he should be played as a batting alrounder at 6. We need to find someone else at 7.

This sort of logic is exactly what might hurt us at the World Cup I fear. Imagine if we come up against a team like England In a knockout. Their strength is undoubtedly their batting . To beat a team like that you either need 5 quality bowlers to rein in their powerful batting lineup(Australia can potentially do that) or you need a strong batting lineup upto 7 like we had in 2011 to match their firepower . No point in investing in all-rounders when they are not consistent in either if their skillsets. Our batting already looks fragile with a past it Dhoni.

Pandya is the batsman we need more than the bowler. He is the only hitter in middle order.

Too much is expected out of Pandya.We should play him at 6 as a batting allrounder.With the bat he can win u

games coz he has phenomenal hitting abilities.BK,Kuldeep,Bumrah and Chahal sre our first choice bowlers.So

ideally we need a hitter at 7 who can bowl and share the workload with Pandya.I'd wait for IPL to spot that ideal

option.For now Shankar/Krunal are best possible options.I think our batting strength will reduce if we think about 

Jaddu/Ash at no. 7.So the XI looks like this.

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli (C)

Rahane/Iyer

Dhoni (Wk)

Hardik

Krunal/Shankar

BK

Kuldeep

Bumrah

Chahal.

For WC, we will need a better third seamer

Yes

 

Some people tend to miss the fact that a good batsman from 1 to 5 is often not a good batsman at 6 or 7 ... big hitters are needed in those positions.

Enjoying this high quality duel between Kohli and Rabada

Yes ... but how  ?  Won't be easy if we want to play 2 wrist spinners.  Can't have a weak batsman at 7.

Wc will be early summer. We might not have spinner friendly conditions

If we play only 1 spinner then it is easy ... Shami is the 3rd pacer 

 

Question arises when we play the 2 wrist spinners .
