We may have won, but team selection is still poor

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Yes we have won the match,but the line up is still very poor.Hope the win doesnt hide it.

[G_B_]

(a) Raina is no number 3. Project Raina was tried at 3 and failed in the past. 

(b) Yuvraj is just not cut out for the T20s now a days. 

(c) MSD was never a T20 player.

(d) Kohli opening , why move him from position where he has delivered? 

(e) Pandya has been piss poor

(f) Not impressed with the spinners but Sir and Ash will be back.

(e) Both Rahul and Pandey are hit and miss. 

 

For the final match

 

Pant

Rahul

Kohli

Yuvraj (one final chance)

MSD

Raina

Pandey

Mishra

Bumrah

Nehra

Chahal

You still have Yuvi at 4 and Pandey at 7. Are you predicting the line up?

Dude pandey at 7 is a big no.

In ideal case i will add rohit and jadhav to the x1 but sadly one is injured and other is not selected..

 

Uv and dhoni should be removed and we need to sort out that batting order.

 

Yes raina adds value but he is not no. 3 he is 5

Ideal team 

Rohit/Pant/Kohli/Rahul/Raina/Jadhav/Jadega/Ashwin/Bhuvi/Shami/Bumrah

 

But with the limitaion of current squad

Rahul/Pant/Kohli/Raina/Dhoni/Uv/Pandya/Mishra/Chahal/Bumrah/Nehra

[express bowling]

Slow wicket and us batting first have masked the gaping holes in our batting lineup

 

Ideally, my T20I lineup will be

 

Rohit

Pant

Kohli

Rahul

Raina / Dhoni

Jadhav

Pandya

Axar

Kuldeep / Mishra

Bumrah

Nathu / Thampi  ( Try a new bowler with good quick yorkers )

Shamsudin was man of the match. Ridiculous umpiring but all credit goes to bumrah. He was ssnsatonal

Billa mere bhai,

 

Thoda credit Nehra Ji ko de do.

[rkt.india]

Pandey is useless at 7. In pandya, you at least have a bowling option and he is no worse than Pandey with the bat.

We would have won despite because root was struggling to hit.

[Cricketics]

Have said it many times, we got to try and send Pandya up right after Raina.

 

This is my order and team for the deciding game

 

 

Rahul

Pant

Kohli

Raina

Pandya 

Dhoni 

Bhuvi

Mishra

Bumrah

Chahal

Nehra

 

[King Tendulkar]

These should never play in t20s 

 

nehra - yes today did well . But is worst fielder imaginable and can't bat and is 85 years old 

yuvraj - not his format for a while

dhoni - never good t20 player 

 

from replacing those 3 . 3 talents in . Build for future and maybe they can push for odi and test team .

 

eg pant ....etc etc 

[BeautifulGame]

This should be our ideal T20 team

Pant

Rohit

Kohli

Rahul

Jadhav

Raina / Hooda ( We do need a lefty )

Pandya

Kuldeep / Jadeja

Ashwin / Mishra / Chahal

Bumrah /Bhuvi

Nehra ( Need him for some time for his eperience )

[chewy]

Next game is flat track, tiny bowl chinnaswamy, expect likes of have-beens like Raina and Yuvraj to cash in...and then commies go gaga with cliche "Dangerous world class player, always had it in him, no one doubted his ability for one second..." Lol

 

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Next match will be a run fest.

[Texy]

Keep UV for ODIs ...t20s NOT his thang 

MSD have some shame n retire for T20is 

Kohli opening is a stop gap solution til hit man comes in

Who will open with Hit Man?

[King Tendulkar]

But guys you can't have it both ways . As in call for oaps out to get in young talents so they develop . But then as soon as

young talents have a few poor games as they all do in their development curve then ask for their heads .

 

like pandyas head being asked for despite doing zero wrong today .m Pandey the batsman did ok which hindsight was not that bad a knock yet everyone axing him as well like new player will hit sixes for fun on this pitch . Look at Raul , been poor but still playing and came good today

Did you not see Raul bat today ?

Not convinced.

I think the team will look much better when Jadhav and rohit replace raina and pandey. And hopefully one good IPL will will get Pant into the XI ahead of yuvi. That will be a very good line up IMO.
