Group B - Bangladesh, Bermuda, India, Sri Lanka

[borncricketer]

With such bowling, its not enough against not only against Lankans but against any top quality side... we need to work a lot & lots in bowling department! Anyways, it was good win but not a great win in my opinion.

yes well said suren, we really neeed to work on that bowling, possibly playing Sree would help

MOTM will probably go to Sehwag but Yuvi is also a strong candidate...lets c

 

[sohum]

I saw somewhere that SRL's RR was like 1.8 or something-Sure to go somewhat down against Bangla!
And Sai congratulations on 5k posts :cool:

If by 1.8 you meant 4.9, yes.

 

[Cricketman]

Yes definatly time to drop Viru and Ajit and go with KKD and Sree.
Yes-Sehwag did hit a century today, but i don't see him hitting more than 10 vs SL.
Kumble-Good enough or should we go with Bhajji, or 2 spinners?
Tendulkar has to open...cmon India :happy

that must have been bangla's rr, then
Anywhere I can see the tables? Is Cinfo updated yet?

Be realistic, my friend. Cant drop a centurion in the next match. Thats a rarity. Even Agarkar wont be dropped.

Only change I expect is Dinesh Karthick/Irfan Pathan in place of Robin Uthappa. Depends on whether we want to go with 4 or 5 bowlers.

 

[AbBh]

i dont think the team management will drop Sehwag considering how strongly Dravid has backed him
Uthappa might be dropped

 

[borncricketer]

Viru gets the MOTM, did i hear him say "this innings was due"

And after the century i dont think he will be dropped, i would like to see Agarkar to be dropped for Sree but mite not happen. As for Uthappa i think he would be droped after 2 not so impressive performances, would like to see india pick Pathan in his place and go with 5 bowlers

Thats just retarded, excuse my french.
He's just going to get us off to a horrible start once again-create pressure on the middle order and wreck everything. A centurion against BRM is nothing, even i could do it!
And Agarkar was the worst of the bowlers today IMO. Sure he picked up wickets, that of the lower order! Bowling in general wasn't good today and we seriously need a wickettaker-Which Sreesanth is.

 

[sohum]

I think we'll get Sreesanth in somehow, but not so sure about getting Sehwag out. Dravid supports him and after a century, albeit against Bermuda, it'll be a toughie.

 

[Cricketman]

Then someone else has to make room for Karthik.

 

[AbBh]

no chance of Sehwag being dropped for the next match.If he had to be dropped it wud have happenned in this match itself.
We need sreesanth in for agarkar.
Uthappa might make way for Karthik or Pathan

Well, if Sehwag does play, I don't want him anywhere near the top order.
I'd like to see him at 6, personally. Get a strong, reliable start with Sachin and Sourav and with technically sound Karthik at 3. at four and five it could be Yuvraj and Dravid (In whatever order), to take us to the death.
Then they can cut loose and with a fall of a wicket Viru and Mahi can smash us to 350+.
Sounds alright.
Also, we need someone at 8 who can bat a little. Harbajan/Kumble is looking quite weak atm, IMO. It would be awesome to go with Irfan, but seeing as our bowling is already weak as-is, i don't think we can risk it.
A problem to my plan of Sehwag battin at 6 is that if we do have an early collapse we don't have a dependable platform to fall back on.

I've calculated India's NRR and it comes out to be 2.54 after 2 matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

Guyz is ind still alive in da tourna? i mean if they beat srl will they go through?

IF they maintain a good runrate-Yes.

How does that rank amongst Bangla and SRL?

It's now really hard to predict. We need to wait till 23rd March. Picture will be clear by then.
