Rohip Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 We have to play... Ganguly Jaffer Dravid Sachin Laxman Yuvraj Dhoni Pathan Kartik Kumble RPS It's a spin paradise so Murali, Kumble and Sachin will have a role to play. RP and Pathan can get the most out of any new ball movement or swing. Yuvraj and Ganguly can contribute if they get away from us! In batting Ganguly can open on a flat deck, Yuvraj has wood over Pakistan and needs to get into form for Aus series Link to comment
suma25 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 the bangalore pitch has been relaid so dont think it will assist spin as much but might assist the fast bowlers more wud kick munaf out bring in irfan /rp singh in .karthik for bhajji otherwise the same team Link to comment
fineleg Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 1. Either IKP or RPS for Munaf Useless Patel 2. Drop KKD - get someone else to open (RD, or SG can handle it in Indian pitches for sure) Get YS into middle order. As a batsman YS (middle order) > KKD (not talking abt opening) Link to comment
zubinpepsi Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 My team wud be Since Jaffer has already booked his place for OZ tour, we shud try the other openers to asses their form. Since Laxman is sure to play in OZ, he shud b given a rest and Yuvi shud b tried in place of him Zaheer shud b rested.. he already seems worn out 1.Gambhir 2.KKD 3. Dravid 4.Sachin 5. Ganguly 6. Yuvraj 7.Dhoni 8.Pathan 9.Kumble 10.Karthik 11. RPS Link to comment
Chandan Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Zubin, gone mad or what? Series hasn't been wrapped up as yet and Pak can still escape series loss by winning the final test as they did last time around. I don't think there will be any change in the team, unless forced by some other factor! Link to comment

bharat297 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 How come people think Ganguly can open? And it is pretty stupid to have an opener for flat decks and then a different opener for difficult pitches. The only 2 people from the middle order that could possibly open are Dravid and Laxman. I would prefer a specialist opener though. Link to comment
Rohip Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 How come people think Ganguly can open? How about an ODI opening average of 42? Link to comment
Chandan Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 How about an ODI opening average of 42? And you think opening in tests and ODIs is the same? Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 ganguly opening :hysterical: Link to comment
