No one knows the honest answer (as should be the case) - most sources have super-clickbaity titles and the people discussing it on TV/news are so far away from the team and a set-up that any of their opinions are simply a cash grab.

I think Moin Khan said a bunch of stuff about it - he is not even close to the situation.

Back spasm seems to be the safe word to axe someone

I feel that the SL conditions in Asia cup somehow suited our team more especially considering the variety we had in our bowling lineup.

Even batting wise it gave the team time to settle which is our batters style of play and then go allout in the last 15 overs or so.

On a given flat deck I feel it will more be battle of batters between the two teams it will be a case when the opposition say Australia or England for ex might end up scoring 350+ atleast and the team might either come close or either capitulate even on a flat deck.

We still lack firepower man to man in batting to match today's batting trend in world cricket which might be a pivotal factor in India's case for the WC and from bowling perspective a raw pace like Rauf or Wood is missing who can run through opposition on a given day even on flat wickets.

This is my worry! We have a tendency to collapse when we are 2/something. A point which I've tried making a few times here already.

Our batting is still too conservative. The fearless approach that was hyped up before the WT20 is nowhere to be seen now. Rohit and Virat are good, but neither can dominate from the word go. Rohit, if he stays till the end, we know he can be deadly. But with Virat, Shreyas and KLR, we simply don't have that kind of adaptability. Hardik and Jaddu are always blowing hot and cold- could be difficult for us in those crunch scenarios, where we need a quick fire 50 from someone.

Bowling- Bumrah is good- he hasn't set the stage on fire tbh. Siraj's bowling yesterday yielded wickets- but a good team like Eng/Aus could have thrashed his lengths around the park.

Anyhow, going by the press conference yesterday, I feel we might ring in a few changes- expect Sanju to replace SKY and Ashwin/ Washi to replace Axar for the World Cup.

I don't think England will get many flat decks
