Malcolm Merlyn Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Should start thinking about 2019 WC from now on. Dhoni is not going to be around, and Dhawan is a long shot (will be 34, for a player of his type - more eyes than technique, that's old). I think Samson should be groomed to be an opener and wicketkeeper. Jadeja must be still persisted with. He is not a "power hitter" in the stupid sense of that word, but he still averages over 30 with the bat with a S/R of over 84 which isn't pathetic by any means. Plus, we are not going to play all our kirkut only on Australian roads. His bowling will come in handy definitely. Rahane MUST BE DROPPED. The guy is nothing but another version of Dinesh Mongia. Flattering only to deceive in the shorter version at least. Mentally timid and reminiscent of the likes of Manjrekar and etc, he's just not cut for international cricket, not international ODI cricket. Dhoni will take call on his career next year. Dhawan may still play in 2019,33 is no age to retire from international cricket. Jadeja isnt going to score runs againist quality teams.So basically he is a fifth bowler.Then better play a specialist 5th bowler who will do a better job.Or get a better AR. Rahane has test runs in SA/NZ/ENG/AUS.Avg of 48 outside Asia.He is just not an ODI player just like VVS.
gattaca Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Rohit' date=' Dhawan Rahane need to go[/quote'] Lol Dhawan is our top performer. :cantstop:
Malcolm Merlyn Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Yes then we should go for 7th batsman. But I am afraid the above mentioned options may be taken to cleaners esp in situations like we were in today. Jadeja went for 56.How much worse will another one do?10-15 more runs?Atleast he will bat better and score those extra runs that he gave away.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Rohit' date=' Dhawan Rahane need to go[/quote'] What about Dhoni and Raina?
velu Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 ASAP chnages, 1) replace rahane.. 2) replace jaddu and replace him with a pace bowling all-rounder.. near team changes, 1) start looking for a replacement for dhoni
India-KXIP fan Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Varun Aaron for Mohit Sharma Persist with Jadeja in Asia Try new players in place of Rahane. Let him be reserve opener in LOI's.
Yoda-esque Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 What about Dhoni and Raina? Dhoni will retire soon..Raina is an absolute must..
Malcolm Merlyn Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Dhoni will retire soon..Raina is an absolute must.. Dhoni said he aint retiring.I see him playing 2019 WC.
Cricket_Hacker Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 -Dhoni should bat up the order.Better at batting up the order. -Need to get Jadhav into the fray.Might turn out to be a domestic bully but deserves a run. -Keep Jadeja as there is NO OTHER OPTION. -Boot Rahane :bye: -Ask batsmen to work out in the gym a bit -Force tail enders to work a bit on their batting. -Bring Varun Aaron back.FFS GET RID OF PINNY Others who can be considered: SKY,Tiwary(not sure about his hitting ability),Pandey and Vohhra(cant play pace yet though)

Rahane finds no place here Rohit needs to go (flaky,too slow) Dhawan too (poor technique,suspect temperament) Would retain Yadav,Jadeja,Shami,Aaron,Ash Need one hitter at the top

Cricket_Hacker Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Can't rely on either who are the other options?
rajmarie Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Lol Dhawan is our top performer. :cantstop: Dhawan neither looks frightening nor solid. He is always more worried about his mustache then anything else. They way he completely ignored the match situation and continued to look out & leave the job to other is called "Choking". He needs to go. We need to find better openers and lower order hitters. Plus bowlers should learn to bowl atleast 3 Yorkers in the death overs.
Lord Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 No one considering UV anymore? He's finished. Gambhir can come back only
