King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 So many experts going on and on about the great 5 bowler theory. O we have ashwin, O we have BK, our tail is awesome now. Yeah right:giggle: Our batting is weak so it don't take a genius to know that you strenghthen the batting!! Play 6! When fragile like ours, suicidal to go in with only 5 bats and the last 2 games have shown that clearly, horror collapses. I said only 5 bats was an accident waiting to happen and guess what, the accident keeps happening. Pitch is bowler friendly need extra bat, maybe if super flat track can play 5 bowlers but only if have trusted proven batting line up RIP 5 bowlers for India overseas.
Cricket_Hacker Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 There nothing we can do if whole of top 5 fails.with 5 bowlers we are bowling better than before though
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 We have 4 and half bowlers. Not 5 bowlers. Having 5 bowlers will obviously help our bowling But look at our batting, paper thin, to have 5 batsman only is suicidal with current line up
CG Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 If we are going to play likes of binny its better to go with 6 batsman.Kohli can bowl seam up.
div Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 On these kind of pitches, Rohit is as bad as Binny.
CSK Fan Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Well since binny can bat better than Rohit, the point is moot. And going with 5 bowlers in the 3rd test would have stopped us from giving the series back to them. So the OP is wrong. Also, I believe it is not wanting 6 batsmen, it's that he wants Talented Rohit Sharma back in the team at any cost

Also, I believe it is not wanting 6 batsmen, it's that he wants Talented Rohit Sharma back in the team at any cost[/quote'] You are wrong even with hindsight, which is quite amazing. With hindsight it shows we pathetically collapsed in last test and this test. Yet you still maintain we don't need an extra batsman But then even with hindsight you mainted we still made right call in playing 2 spinners in last test, when it was CLEARLY shown it was most seam friendly conditions so far on tour:giggle: And no my point is not to include rohit ( although I would at this stage) but that we must have 6 proper batsman whoever they are.
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Just for clarification. To implement 6 batsman strategy you don't need to pick Rohit I repeat to implement 6 proper batsman strategy you don't need to pick Rohit I repeat....
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 We got bowled out in one session in last test. And here we were 90-9. But yeah only 5 batsman are needed cos batting is strong and reliable
helperononline Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 i would rather have this guy in the team than playing rohit sharma as our sixth batsman
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 i would rather have this guy in the team than playing rohit sharma as our sixth batsman Well play another batsman then as 6th batsman?
GautiMaan Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Well play another batsman then as 6th batsman? Who?
beetle Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Having 5 bowlers will obviously help our bowling But look at our batting, paper thin, to have 5 batsman only is suicidal with current line up Who is that 6th batsman who will make a difference ....????
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Who? well you could go for anti rhoit brigade 1 Dhawan 2 Vijay 3 Gambhir/Oijha 4 Pujara 5 Rahane 6 Kohli Kohli at 6, adds real depth and may take him out of firing line for a while
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Who is that 6th batsman who will make a difference ....???? Well if number 6 had added a 40 runs and a partnership, would could have got 200 plus instead of 90-9 and bowled out in one session. Its all very well saying who would make a difference but we are collapsing so have to TRY to make runs and play a 6th bat!
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 If we play 5 bats in Aus we have a chance of being bowled out for under 50
beetle Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 well you could go for anti rhoit brigade 1 Dhawan 2 Vijay 3 Gambhir/Oijha 4 Rahane 5 Pujara 6 Kohli Kohli at 6, adds real depth and may take him out of firing line for a while :hmmm:
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 :hmmm: Well if you wont those 6 then go 1 Dhawan 2 Vijay 3 Rahane 4 Pujara 5 Oijha 6 Kohli 7 Dhoni 8 Ashwin Suddenly much stronger line up, depth
