Predator_05 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Re: Million dollar question, where should Sachin bat in WC? Uthappa is horsesh*t. He is no Sehwag. You seriously expect this mug to come off at the top fo the order ? He might well score a few against the Bidis and Bermuda, maybe even SL but good teams like SA, AUS, NZ - hell, any team with a bowler or two who can generate a bit of lift would have him for breakfast. Remember how easily Asif figured him out in Abu Dhabi ? I'd even bet that the Lankan giraffes, ie; Zoysa or Fernando would knock him over easily. Let's wait and see Link to comment
chanakya Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Million dollar question, where should Sachin bat in WC? If the pitch is not flat and slow Dravid at one down Sachin 2 down. Else Sachin one down. Uttahapa will ot last more than 10 overs max anyway. So technically Sachin will be near opening in most cases. Link to comment

CC1981 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Million dollar question, where should Sachin bat in WC? In my opinion, Sachin should come one-down. Indian batting order for world cup should be : Ganguly Utthapa/Sehwag Tendulkar Yuvraj Dravid Dhoni Irfan I think Utthapa/Sehwag should play as a pinch-hitter and not worry about his wicket- Ganguly can be the stabilizing force while Tendulkar can come in at 1 down with say the score being 50-1 after 9-10 overs or maybe 30/1 after 4 overs. Yuvraj would be a good bet to follow : It would also give a left-right-right-left sequence to the batting. Dravid after Yuvraj and Dhoni after Dravid followed by Pathan should be a good batting lineup. Link to comment
King Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Million dollar question, where should Sachin bat in WC? Tendulkar has shown more consistency over the last few ODIs batting at no.4 and I wouldn't change that. Sending him open will put a lot of pressure on him particularly when the ball is doing a bit. He must be happy where he's batting right now considering the consistency he is showing. If I were the captain I would say to him don't fix something that ain't need fixing. Link to comment
