Australia's tour of India 2019

[NILAYSHAH60]

Despite the score being 27/3 I can still expect India to win if Virat Kohli stays till the end. I think it's a nice move to get Dhoni in this early

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Frankly speaking I never wanted Rayudu to get a chance in the Indian team despite his heroics in IPL but when he got selected I noticed that he has the ability to rotate strike and steal quick runs along with that he and shift gears and I was happy to accept that I was so wrong. But seeing his recent performances I am really disappointed with him. Every now and then he has been proving me correct now .I wish Dhoni plays at 4 and we have DK and Jadhav to follow along with Hardik Pandya/ Vijay Shankar and either play Jadeja or Chahal in the line-up. Kuldeep will be in my prospect for each and every match India plays till the WC gets over atleast !!!!!

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Yet another instance where Kohli loses his wicket at a very very crucial stage in a big run chase. Kohli despite one of the best batsman in the world doesn't really does well with the tail unlike MSD 1.0. This is the area he can actually improve. Rest all looks good

What is wrong with Shikhar? How did he go so formless? KL Rahul should take his place also please get rid of Raydu? I have always believed his IPL heroics should have not been considered for ODI's. He is slow on field, his batting is out of sorts and completely unpredictable. KL Rahul should play in place of Shikhar, Dinesh Kartick should have been playing in place of Raydu.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

There were so many instances today where we could've pulled the match towards us but everytime poor shots halted our progress towards the target. Anyways the middle order shows stability once which is a positive for us but just not enough to win matches and big tournaments. This series is a learning curve for us

It is important that we play Dhawan in the initial matches despite his poor form as we have seen him bring out his best during tournaments in the past. This series KL should get a chance but in WC Dhawan should be the one who should be in the starting lineup

Dhawan's form makes the case strong for Rahul to be included in the WC squad. I am not saying that Dhawan should be dropped because something about an ICC tournament turns Dhawan on furiously. Therefore he should be picked. And Ambati Rayudu keeps confirming the fact that he has NO PLACE in the World Cup squad and it would be stupid to even take him to the WC. To me, the WC squad is now set

Rohit, Dhawan, Rahul, Kohli, Dhoni, Jadhav, Karthik, Shankar, Hardik, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Bumrah, Shami, Kuldeep, Chahal

Take Shankar as a pure batsman who can bowl a bit. I can't see either Rayudu or Pant taking that spot because Shankar offers a better alternative against both these guys.

You’re talking about dropping Rayudu and taking Shankar? The way this management is treating DK, I doubt he is on that plane to London.

If he is in consideration, then he should be playing already. Worse, don’t drop Dhawan for the next two ODI’s, rest Sharma. Play Rahul and Dhawan.

I too have a strong feeling that Rayudu will be selected and either of DK or Shankar or both wont be on that WC bound flight. But all I/we can do is.... lament here!

Just watched the highlights and the Glenn Maxwell run out!!! My god... that was probably top 3 in Dhoni's career in terms of the masterpiece runouts that he has effected! I watched that bit 5 times on the trot and still am not out of it!! Brilliant piece of fielding by Jadeja. The guy can just be in the team for his fielding brilliance. He's that good

Yes, terrible from Kohli.

I frankly don't like the guy one bit but you have to take your hat and everything else off for the excellence this man has achieved in terms of batsmanship. I have not seen such excellence in any field from anyone in life.

As for your post, not surprising at all. I really hope we can maintain some standard on this forum because if this is not trolling, I don't know what is. May be the guy is a genuine fool after all.

It is a fact that Kohli hasn't scored runs with the tail. If you don't know it just do some research. Throwing such tantrums won't work if you don't value someone's perception. I just brought up a fact as an information purpose but you are always the one who unnecessary brags me to just prove me wrong. You are not smart either so better maintain some decorum while posting such stuffs. I could report your post but I won't do that as I don't want to create a mess over here and develop a personal hate for someone which you have for me. If you want to post stuffs like this do that on social media as that is the place to do so. You are the one who is unnecessarily degrading the standards of entire forum. Before calling someone a fool better think 100 times that whether you are smart enough to call someone a fool or not. I expect that next time you improve your attitude towards me !!!!!

You continue to make me laugh. At least there's some positive. Kohli bats at 3 and in general, common sense says that it is not his role to bat with the tail. Yesterday, he had to not only make sure he doesn't get out, but basically make 80% of the runs. On that wicket, without any due, he played an outstanding innings and it takes an extremely vile person to dole out any critique towards him.

Second, I have no hate towards you. You're not important enough (neither am I to you). This is a virtual world where opinions are thrown around. Anyone, who throws any criticism towards Kohli after yesterday IS TROLLING. I don't need to know what's right and what is not, I have a brain to tell me that. And please go ahead and report the post, you are consistently here just trying to flame and troll people to get a reaction. Well, you succeeded and I think the adjective I used was enough to touch a nerve. Now you know how it feels to be flamed or trolled?

To make you understand in your language, how well has Rohit Sharma done with the tail? Do you have stats for it? The bottom line is that people who bat at the top rarely bat with the tail and when they do, they're either dealing with a collapse or have amassed enough runs and are just swinging for the hills. Basic cricketing sense. Dhoni, has made a career out of batting in the middle to lower middle order. Their roles are different and your criticism is a load of horse crap.

Lastly, if you want me to change my attitude towards you or give your posts respect then treat players with some respect first. We all critique over here, but there's a vast difference between trolling a cricketer or his fans or being critical. Your post was an insinuation to flame the Kohli fans and I'm not even one of them.

There's no point in saying anything. You win !!!!! You are the only person correct here and others are fools. End of discussion

And the sad part would be that we won't see him play in India now. I wanted him to score 70-80 runs yesterday but unfortunately he got out to a very good delivery. I think this may not be possible but just think what would happen if Dhoni scores a 100 in his last International match. The delight, the jubiliation among the fans it would be unbelievable to watch !!! And Sai Sir if I am not wrong then if it happens you would be the happiest person on this forum I guess

MS succeeding like that, will be jubilation for all true Indian fans, including me. Hope he can truly go out on a high, for all that he has done so far!
