Lord Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Unless you play Binny as opener , you never know.Also the last I know, Rayudu has made a 50 in his last warm up game before the league began, so he is definitely in some sort of form. Pakistan was pushed to open with Sarfraz and it clicked off. Unless Dhoni takes that risk, it is curtains. Rohit scored 150 in warmups.Binny did nothing
vijay50 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Rohit scored 150 in warmups.Binny did nothing Against Afghanistan.Tell me why Rohit is unable to score against Pakistan, WI and SA, inspite of opening and plenty of overs available? I will tell you. Brainfart, poor running between wickets and lazy attitude.

vijay50 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 and Binny will solve that:yay: Point is, unless you put Binny into that situation, you dont know the answer.Binny have made 50s and shown that he can pick 2-3 wickets in an innings in Aus conditions.So he should have been tried as opener.One final chance is there against Bangla. If Dhoni doesnt try it there, it is curtains for team India against Aus, if we get there, either due to Jadeja or Rohit. I think Sarfraz never opened before in international cricket and when put in that situation, he is turning matches now.

vijay50 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 When did this happen? 44. India vs Aus.And you did not answer my question why Rohit is unable to score runs against Pak, SA and WI.

Sid Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Ah' date=' the classic, we do not have alternatives,argument[/quote'] What changes you want in the side? And ya its true we dont have any alternatives.
CG Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Indias strength has been sticking witht the same core group of players for 4 years now at the last moment dhoni is not going to do any changes bar injuries.Its the same group who will play and rightly so.Rohit has to fire against aus he scored a good hundred against them and He will have to score another if india has to win the sf.
vijay50 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 What changes you want in the side? And ya its true we dont have any alternatives. Another Rohit fanboy.Alternatives available. In form Binny, Rayudu.You just have to read through this thread or other Rohit threads to follow the discussion.

Not happening buddy and would be hapoy if proven wrong.Persisting with Rohit will cost Dhoni the WC and Rohits place after WC.
coffee_rules Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Dhoni could have played the bench warmers against UAE or Ireland. But he chose not to. He cant change the winning team for KOs. We are stuck with Rohit ..no need for a change. Let not hope we chase more than 275 against beedi.
vijay50 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Earlier in the tournament, Misbah had offered up a pained expression when speaking of how the team could not afford to risk playing Sarfraz based on his deplorable form against New Zealand and also in an assortment of warm-up matches. Having overcome considerable anxiety to reach the knockout phase, now he could display the merest hint of a smile when pondering Sarfraz's role in turning Pakistan's fortunes. "We tried him when we came to New Zealand for a couple of practice games and then ODIs, and then in the warm-up games before the World Cup," Misbah said. "In these conditions he was not up to the mark, he was not getting runs and he was finding it difficult even in the nets. That's why we changed our mind and were in a difficulty about how to go with him at the top. "But finally once we tried a specialist opener we were just left with no choice, and we got Sarfraz back at the top and he responded really well. In the first game he scored 49 and gave us a really good start and now he's scored a hundred. Even today it was crucial to have a partnership at the top and he delivered." It is important that Dhoni try Binny as opener instead of Rohit in Bangla game. The gamble may or may not come off. It if comes off we are better for it from batting as well as bowling perspective.
flamy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 What does "peaking too early" mean really? Did Aus 2003 peak early? NZ now have peaked early?
zen Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 What does "peaking too early" mean really? Did Aus 2003 peak early? NZ now have peaked early? In math terms, I guess, it means "law of averages" .... But ofc great teams beat that as someone would stand up even when the team is having a bad game. For e.g. in 2003, iirc, guys like Bichel/Lee played match winning knocks as well for Aus. A team that depended on a few key players could have fallen However, there is no team of ATG caliber in this competition
