Actually I was referring to the Pakistan Australia match in 2014 where Maxwell bowled that magic over.

I really don't remember that match.. I think I missed that.. Oh Yea, Just the highlights to see... Okay, So are you really comparing Jadhav with Tanvir and Irfan, I think Jadhav is a proper batsman isn't it?

I think the point he was trying to make was that it's not easy as it sounds. 6 off 4 seems easy on paper but in practical, a lot of things keep running through a batsman's mind at that moment.[DOUBLEPOST=1485326518][/DOUBLEPOST]

Pant
Rahul
Kohli
Yuvraj
Raina
Dhoni
Pandya / Amit Mishra
Bhuvneshwar
Chahal
Bumrah
Nehra

Almost the same except:
# Pandya for sure, you need hitter in this format. Even if he goes for runs, he can make up for it with his batting
# Not so sure about Nehra.

And I expect Pant to play all 3 matches irrespective of his performance.

Pandya is necessary in this format. Completely agree. But the batting depth is good with the inclusion of Raina. That's why I included as Pandya / Mishra. Nehra was excellent in T20 WC. Hence I am including him. If they weren't going to pick him in the line up, I don't think he would have been included in the squad.

But the batting depth is good with the inclusion of Raina

Although Raina just about makes it into my team, like Yuvraj I think he is past his prime too. This should be his last chance to prove himself. The opposition have figured out ways to stop him from scoring freely (not talking about IPL here)

 

[CerealKiller]

It was Sohail Tanvir for the first two balls. Sohail Tanvir is a very good hitter of ball when it comes. But scoring 2 runs surely is easy even when one speaks

I don't even know how we got to talking about this match.
But anyway, 6 off 3 is definitely not easy if you've lost a lot of wickets.

 

[Velocity]

It was Mohammad Irfan who was on strike.

Sohail Tanvir could've easily got those 2 runs. Perhaps it was pressure that strangled him....[DOUBLEPOST=1485353508][/DOUBLEPOST]

That was my point the whole time. To prove my point I brought up that match.[DOUBLEPOST=1485353618][/DOUBLEPOST]

I am not focusing on the batsmen who were on strike. My point was 6 off 3 does sound as easy as it looks when you're 8 down.

IKR! Anyways back on to the topic I am for once interested about a T20 series about to happen. England have a very awesome ODI & T20 lineup and this is what impresses me. They realized the shortcomings after the 2015 WC debacle and they have worked very hard. England with this team are favorites to win the CT17 as well given they have home advantage.

Rishabh might miss today's match & Pandey would play
This makes clear ^ that Pandey-Rahul will open the innings

Virat
Yuvi
MSD
Raina
Hardik
Mishra/Chahal
Rasool
Nehra
Bumrah

Mandeep can also open with Rahul.

 

[Neo 7]

Mandeep can also open with Rahul.

The management will not think that far ............
Pandey will be the ideal choice along with Rahul

BCCI also hasn't showed real interest in him .
If Pandey not , then for sure it would be Rishabh then .

 

[Targaryen]

Rahul is more solid player at no. 4 in T20s. Though we have a packed middle order, I would like to see him bat down the order opening up the space for both Pant and Pandey or Mandeep. There is a news that Pant had impressed Kumble during net practice and is most likely to get his debut match with added advantage of Left-Right had combination.

Even Virat can open the batting where he looked very dangerous in IPL. We have so many opening options. My ideal lineup will be:

Manish Pandey/Pant/Virat/Rahul
Rishab Pant/Rahul/Virat
Virat Kohli
Yuvraj Singh
MS Dhoni
Suresh Raina (He can play the role of Kedar Jadav in his absence as he is over his prime)
Hardik Pandya
Yuzvender Chahal
Ashish Nehra
Jasprit Bumrah
Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Just, I don't think Manish Pandey will open... If he plays, it will be at Raina's spot

 

[Targaryen]

So Parveez is playing his debut match. Pant has to wait... The mystery still remains as who will open the batting. Rahul and Virat are probables while Manish too can open alongside Rahul while Virat coming at no.2 (his regular position).

BTW anyone watching fourth umpire in DD National? Shrikkanth and Kirmani are fighting with each other against their opinions. Same was seen during ODI series aswell.

 

[Neo 7]

while Virat coming at no.2 (his regular position).

You meant #3 , yeah ?
