Rayudu is good

[virufan]

He has a carefree attitude which allows him to play freely without inhibitions. A good find for ODIs, not sure about Tests. He has done well in the few chances that he got.

[Sandeep99]

No.. See him getting ripped apart in Australia.

[virufan]

I dont think his technique is so bad. Ek century tho banta hai

[G_B_]

one thing i do know he deserves his shot in Australia

[vvvslaxman]

Still not sold on him. But he has grabbed his chances. SO it is only fair he deserves a shot now.

[coffee_rules]

rayudu is good enough...Uthappa can do resrve wktkeeper only for no.

[CoverDrive]

where do you fit him though?

[BeautifulGame]

where do you fit him though?

At no.4

rayudu is good enough...Uthappa can do resrve wktkeeper only for no.[/QUOTE] one thing has become clear Uttappa is not a good keeper. he is **** either he plays as a batsman or he does not play at all.

[randomGuy]

The way uthappa has played for KKR recently, I won't count him out at all. But yeah, he is not a very reliable keeper.

[CoverDrive]

At no.4

And drop raina ?

[BeautifulGame]

And drop raina ?

Raina obviously at 5 where he regularly bats .

[aceofbase]

I think Akash Chopra ,Harsha Bhogle and Amol all agreed that he is confirmed in WC team for India..and he deserves it...

Unfortunately, it will be between Rahane and Rayudu as below are locked ) we can argue on positions though ) Dhawan ( left handed opener in good form ) - Can't not play him as opener Rohit - 264, good part time off-spinner and brilliant fielder Kohli - well Raina - left handed dynamite, electric fielder, part-time spinner Dhoni - Captain, wicket keeper, great ODI batsman Assuming we will have 6 batsmen ( including WK ) and the rest 5 are bowling all-rounders/pure bowlers ( which neither of these 2 are) , we have just one more spot - Rayudu or Rahane

Agree...I think Rayudu has an obvious edge over rahane...

[BeautifulGame]

As of now based on form and conditions this is the best line up IMO Dhawan Rohit Kohli Rayadu Raina Dhoni Binny Axar Yadav Ishant Shami

[jalebi_bhai]

Good batsman..........but why does he run like a headless chicken between the wickets?

Should have following 2 plans imo, n if plan 1 fails , should be happy to move to plan 2 - Plan 1(batting positions) - Dhawan Rahane Kohli Rohit Plan 2- Dhawan Rohit Rayudu Kohli.

I would not take Ishant for ODIs

[Lord]
