vishalvirsingh Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 a balanced pace attack means 2 medium pacers and 2 fast bowlers- why are their 4 medium pacers in an indian attack india A has 2 fast bowlers and 2 medium pacers- that's a better attack.
Yami Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I bet , India A can beat Karnataka or indias ODI team ( one with Rahane captain )
G_B_ Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 quite a promotion for Rahane from being dropped to being captain. Probably a last lifeline. I guess if its a low scoring encounter then IMO this within his comfort zone
vishalvirsingh Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 ODI squad: Ajinkya Rahane (capt), M Vijay, Ambati Rayudu, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Harbhajan Singh, Axar Patel, Karn Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni, Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma. Vijay is not suitable for ODI now..playing odi will mean he will change his batting style...if he plays the same way - starts slow and then scores big , its good but are we trying to get him into ODI..? why he has been sleected? Manoj tiwary has hardly been in good form- not sure about his selection. Bhuvnesh- he shud have been dropped. jadeja droped is a good decision when all fast bowlers are in india A.. mohit shud have been good there. they cud have let umesh go to Zimbabwe. India A squad: KL Rahul, Abhinav Mukund, Cheteshwar Pujara (capt), Karun Nair, Shreyas Iyer, Naman Ojha, Vijay Shankar, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Shardul Thakur, Varun Aaron, Abhimanyu Mithun, Umesh Yadav, Shreyas Gopal, B Aparajith balance is not proper in the pace bowling
vishalvirsingh Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I guess Zimbabwe tracks are suitable for trundlers and INDIA A is going on pacy tracks.
Gunner Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Happy with the inclusions of Sandeep, Pandey, Jadhav and Vijay, and the decision to try out Ajinkya as captain. Disappointed with the rest. The squad lacks genuine pacers.

Gunner Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Dhoni's legacy will be to make extinct any pacers that had been nurtured in the past. #Onlytrundlersleftalive lol :cantstop: It's shocking that Dhoni's been retained as captain even after a series loss to Bangladesh. Can't wait for him to to be removed from the selection and decision-making process.
The Realist Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 A squad without pace, keepers, or future planning Did MS Dhoni really have to rest? There is an odd man out in the seven players rested for the Zimbabwe series. All seven players - Suresh Raina hopes to - bar one plays in all three formats. MS Dhoni gave up Tests late last year to concentrate on the shorter formats. He is going through a spell where he is trying to rediscover his batting. India's next limited-overs assignment is not before October. After the series loss in Bangladesh, with the Test players resting, this would have been a good chance for one of the seniors who won't be busy in the next few months to shepherd a young team and get a soft relaunch for his No. 4 batting. Dhoni was due to get all the rest he wanted after July. Unless there is a pressing niggle or injury that Dhoni is fighting and the board is not communicating, it does not make sense for a one-day specialist to be rested. No proper wicketkeeper? Now that Dhoni is being rested, fans might get a glimpse of how the selectors plan to fill the big hole Dhoni will leave when he retires fully. The response: not a single specialist wicketkeeper in the squad. Wriddhiman Saha, who had a bumper IPL in 2014 and is the Test wicketkeeper, Naman Ojha and Sanju Samson have all been left out. Ojha at least got selected in the A squad. Instead, we have three wicketkeeper-batsmen: Robin Uthappa, 29 years old, Kedar Jadhav, 30, and Ambati Rayudu, 29. Only Uthappa was the first-choice wicketkeeper of his IPL side this year, but being a top-order batsman, he will struggle to find a place in India's jam-packed full-strength top order. This is a strong message to the other three wicketkeeper-batsmen that the selectors don't believe they are quite there yet. Where are the next young batsmen? The ages of Uthappa, Jadhav and Rayudu is a worrying sign. The main purpose of a second-string side is to see which players can take the place of first-choice players in the future. You expect most of the second-string players to be young. The youngest of the seven batsmen in this squad is Manish Pandey, who will turn 26 this September. The problem is, the younger batsmen are not scoring as many runs in the domestic circuit as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane were when they were 22 years old and getting chances to play international cricket only in second-string sides. No fast bowlers in ODIs? Dhoni's stinging criticism of out-and-out fast bowlers during the Bangladesh ODIs might have led some to believe there was dissension and a clash of philosophies with Test captain Virat Kohli, but there was another explanation of what Dhoni said: use pace in Tests all you want, but you can't afford to have erratic pace in ODIs. The announcement of the squads on Monday reflected that: the ODI team to Zimbabwe has only strictly medium-pacers among bowlers who come off a long run, and the A squad for the four-day matches has two of the quickest bowlers in India, Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron. Where does Ravindra Jadeja go from here? Ravindra Jadeja has long been a trusted warhorse for Dhoni, and not without reason, but he seems to have lost that fizz in his bowling ever since he has come back from his shoulder injury. He is essentially a specialist spinner who can bat, a breed whose value - in the absence of an allrounder - has increased in India since the ODI rules changed to eliminate the batsman who could bowl as a No. 7 and since India felt the need of playing five bowlers in Tests. Now with his bowling not quite there, it is reasonable that he be dropped, but what is surprising is that he has not even been given a chance in the A squads. Is this a message that the Test captain Virat Kohli is looking beyond Jadeja as a Test spinner? http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe-v-india-2015/content/story/892333.html
Bigg Brother Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Pathetic team..No future planning or vision at all. Only thing to cheer about is Rahane will open.
renjith Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I think more importance was given to A team and you can see that clearly from the list of players. zim team was selected just for the sake of it.
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 what did rohit do to get this rest???? Scored most runs for India this year with an avg of 55+. Sonething few rockstars in the team and wana be captains couldnt achieve. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

zen Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 yawn @ team .... too many trundlers, did not even see Nehra's name
Shivaji bhonsle Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Depressing team selection. No vision whatsoever. Where is Sanju Samson, mandeep Singh, iyer or hooda? Where is kuldeep yadav ? Dumb fools selecting bhajji, tiwary , jadhav and naman ojha who is a 32 year old wicket keeper and its a joke. I hope ki we this lose the series badly...
Shivaji bhonsle Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Pandey is a comedian. Have become a hack with a pathetic batting technique. Even pakis won't pick such a joke of a batsman. I don't understand what they see in Hackadu aka biryani...
express bowling Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Missing Unadkat and Vinay Kumar in the squad. Irony is , Dhoni is missing out on the opportunity to keep to so many trundlers.
