Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

[LongLegs?]

Dammit, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj again...disappointing. Nice to see Dhawan given a chance. Jadeja...omfg please gtfo.

I'd go with

Dhawan
Vijay
Kohli
Raina
Yuvraj -.-
Dhoni
Tiwary
Praveen Kumar
Ashwin
Vinay Kumar
Nehra

Jadeja looked good in the Challenger Trophy though. Looked like he was bowling well, plus the new facial hair is rad.

Though, Australia will probably deal with him easily if he won't even attempt to flight the ball.

What? A 185 run lead? Still think Australia might have given themselves enough runs to fight it out for the win. Another awesome game where all 3 results possible going into the final day. What happened to the curators suddenly?

Most likely Australia will extend their lead tomorrow morning to 225 odd and then declare or be all out. Its going to be a Herculean task for India to survive or win. Cant wait!

Ravi Jadeja is the North of Indian ODI team , gets picked even after performing so badly. hes not a effective player or game changer.

Idk why selectors keep ignoring Irfan and Yusuf, with world cup just months away, they should try them out.

 

[Aditya]

Leave Yusuf Pathan he has been given many chances but he wasn't able to do anything special. I would like to see Irfan Pathan given another chance or maybe Laxmipathy Balaji. Balaji always impresses me in domestic circuit and his performance in the IPL seasons and CLt20 2009 and 2010 has been impressive as well. Jadeja has been given so many chances but has never done anything special for Indian team.

Indian ODI Squad announced

Squad MS Dhoni (capt & wk), M Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Sourav Tiwary, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Munaf Patel, Vinay Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma

Damn ! Why wasn't Dhoni rested ? They could have used a second keeper as well.

Wow, what team is this? I thought a world cup is coming around in 5-6 months and we need as much preparation with the best possible team as we can. And here, we have picked a very poor bowling attack. We will lose this series for sure. Why is Ojha rested? As if he has played so many games and is exhausted.

Anyways, good that the young guys get exposure. My XI would be

Vijay
Dhawan
Raina
Kohli
Dhoni
Yuvraj
Tiwary/Jadeja
Ashwin
Praveen
Nehra
Munaf

Balaji is not worth anymore. He has lost his pace a lot, and in good batting conditions, he will be rendered completely useless. He has lost that zip in his bowling after that big injury.

Cant believe the selectors are ignoring Irfan for so long. Give him a chance! He has experience, and should have learnt his lesson.

atleast North performs in last match of series.

.
Neither Balaji nor CSK played CLT20 2009!

:laugh

I think pathan should be given a chance!

 

[SciD]

Well ODI will be interesting with both teams having indifferent line ups.

Dhawan
Vijay
Sharma
Yuvi
Raina
Kohli
Dhoni
Jadeja
Ashwin
Munaf
Nehra

Jadeja to get hit on head by beamer from some Aussie bowler who will then be granted Indian citizenship as well.

 

[McLOVIN]

LOL so India sending a weakened side? Ouch Australia.

 

[aussie1st]

Australia did start it first by resting Ponting and co.
India should have called up Pujara may as well see how he goes.

 

[SaiSrini]

Pujara is more of a test prospect (or thats how its seen by our selectors). I doubt they would pick him for ODI's and T20's until he makes a mark in tests.

So it's Karma? Wait no, that doesn't make sense. Because in order for it to be a karma, it would have to be done by "nature."

More like pay back. 'You rest 1 guy, we will rest our main 11'. Man I feel bad for Ponting. He is the guy who must miss the Old Oz the MOST. But I am glad that he is not giving up like a coward and stepping down and leaving everything behind. He is trying to settle the team

I hate that new thing on the top. If you quote someone you have to scroll down to the msg box. Put that thing at the bottom instead.

 

[subversive]

I've never seen someone as hopeless as Nohit Sharma and Jadeja given so many chances. No matter how much they suck, they keep coming back :laugh

 

[icyman]

Don't worry ppl, we have the all time great Sir Ravindra Jadeja in the team. Worst comes worst we shall loose 3-0 only
