Aniket would be better as Brainder Sran is a bit raw, atm. He is a good prospect too but needs more guidance and game time.

Sran bowls around 135 - 140k right?

I feel Shami is being rushed back into the team, he has bowled just some 20 overs till now. He needs to play a few more domestic games before making a comeback.

Yes. Shami needs to play more games and get fitter. He would certainly have gained a bit of weight too during this long break.

yeah

Posted

Rohit

Dhawan 

Kohli

Rahane

Dhoni

Raina

Pandya

Ashwin

Shami

Umesh

Ishant/Aaron

Reserves: Jadeja, BK, Vijay/Iyer/batter who can also hit big

Will replace Dhawan from the playing 11 if he does not find form soon. Will definitely drop Rayadu/Binny/Mohit/Axar.

Axar is absolutely hopeless with the bat. 


But most probably we would have Rayadu & Mohit in the squad. Aaron will miss out. If we are really unlucky, then expect Aravind/Binny too.
Don't expect Shami to find his rhythm and pace straightaway. Has had a very long break at the top level.

Sran bowls around 135 - 140k right?     

Sran can bowl 135 k to 142 k and does so in some spells. However, he was often running out of steam in a televised 4 day match and bowling 128 to 136 k. ( this may not be a problem in ODIs though )

His accuracy and seam position needs improvement too. He is not ready for international cricket yet and needs atleast one more domestic season. His good performance in Vijay Hazare trophy ( 14 wickets from 6 matches ) may help him get selected though if the selectors are really keen  about a left armer..

Among left armers...Aniket Chaudhury looks like a more mature bowler, more accurate ....similar pace and a bit taller. Swings the ball more too.

I would prefer Brainder Sran ( tall , deck hitting fast-medium pacer ) over trundler Sreenath Arvind  though...any day.

1 )  Vijay  / Dhawan  ( on some Aus pitches ...Vijay may be better as he is a much better player of pace and bounce )

2)  Rohit

3 )  Kohli

4 )  Rahane  ( Must in Aus...his last ODI series against SA was his best,,,scored 3 half-centuries and a 45 )

5 )  Dhoni  ( Should bat at 5 ...as he is needs more time to build his innings these days )

6 )  Pandya ( big hitting seamer-all rounder ideal for Aus at no. 6 ...ODI series ideal to try out new guy )

7 )  Gurkeerat ( big hitter and can be used as the 6th bowler...ODI series ideal to try out new guy in place of Jaddu )

8)  Ashwin

9 )  Bhuvi / Shami  ( not sure if he is fit ) 

10 ) Umesh 

11 ) Ishant  ( I would prefer the bounce of Ishant in Aus ... he is far more accurate too these days )

 

Extras--

12 )  Iyer ( Stroke player who can be tried in place of Rahane in one or two matches )

13 )  Raina

14 )  Aaron

15 )  Aniket Chaudhry / Shami ( if fit )

16) Jaddu 

17 ) Dhawan / Vijay

decent eleven.3 pacers and 1 pace bowling ar is a must in aus ,pandya should be picked.

A spinner is a headache in aus ,forget 2 even one spinner might be a headache especially when Dhoni uses raina as part timer.

I'd actually play mishra over ashwin in the first two odis

ODI squad is  bad.   Rahane himself is not an accomplished ODI player. We have Dhawan, Pandey, Dhoni not sure how good he is these days.Rohit blows hot and cold. 

batting does look a concern atm because dhawan,Kohli are out of form,Dhoni,rahane,nohit are inconsistent.

They might play manish pandey and gurkeerat (good Chance for them to play attacking cricket) ,iyer ,pandya (decent hitter) should have been picked tbh

Which is why I would have liked Vijay in the squad along with Iyer and Pandya

 

Vijay ( much better at handling bounce and pace than Dhawan and did well in VH trophy )

Rohit

Kohli

Rahane /  Iyer ( could be a better batter than Pandey against quick bowling )

Dhoni

Pandya ( he can hit big as well as fight it out against fast bowling...did well against full SA attack in Board President's XI match )

Gurkeerat

Ashwin

.......may have looked more solid in Australia than

 

Dhawan  ( major weakness against pace and bounce )

Rohit

Kohli

Rahane 

Dhoni

R.Dhawan ( not sure if he can play bounce )

Jadeja ( not good against bounce )  / Gurkeerat

Ashwin

......which is what we are going to see

Not sure whether Dhoni is going to pick Gurkeerat over Jadeja...he likes experienced players.

Official ODI squad:-  Dhawan,Rohit,Kohli,Rahane,Dhoni,Gurkeerat,Jadeja,Ashwin,Shami,Umesh,Ishant.

Reserves:- Manish,Rishi,Axar,Sran.

Squad is allright still I'd hv liked Mishra or another leggie in place of Axar.But I like the selection of Rishi

over Binny.Hardik has got his chance is t20 if he does well he can be tried in the ODIs too.Rishi & Hardik

should compete for that seam bowling all-rounder spot.

Official T20 team:- Dhawan,Rohit,Kohli,Yuvraj,Raina,Dhoni,Hardik,Jadeja,Ashwin,Shami,Umesh.

Reserves:-Rahane,Harbhajan,BK,Nehra.

We needed a mystery spinner so picking Kuldeep in stead of Bhajji would've been a better choice &

investment.Why do u wanna pick a 37 yrs old seamer in Nehra?Better pick a young guy Aaron or Rahul

Shukla.Else the squad is ok.

Posted

Not much news about Nehra in Ranji and VH trophy. Any notable performances? Selectors wanted an experienced bowler for T20 WC but don't think it is the right move to go back to Nehra.

In Australia, why do we need 3 spinners in the playing 11 and 4 overall  ?

Posted

Why are 4 spinners needed in Australia? They should have selected a fast bowler like Aaron in place of Axar.

Exactly.

The problem with having Jadeja and Axar in the squad is that a lower order big hitter like Gurkeerat might not get enough chances in the playing 11.

This is the squad the selectors have opted for.I'd pick an extra seamer in place of Axar.
