India in England Jun-Sept 2014

Raina any day over Samson. But he really needs to up his game. His last 50 came against Zimbabwe. Other than that he has just been throwing away starts. He needs to go beyond his IPL glory

Also I do think that if there is rotation and there should be, Samson should get a look in. I really like the potential he has shown.

If India wins three ODIs before the last ODI and if it has no importance he may play.Also if the Indian middle order of Kohli,Rahane,Raina,Dhoni fails more than thrice he may come.Doesn't think he would be in the team otherwise.

Can someone create a separate thread for ODI's ?

Why should that be done? I dont really see a reason for it.

Would rather have ODI discussion in here - one less thread to follow

Not a bad idea. In fact a lengthy series like this between two members of the BIG 3 in cricket deserves a sub-forum .

Tongue in Cheek: Ravi Shastri, Team India Director and a 'legend by association' : Cricket, News - India Today

A tongue in cheek piece interesting piece on Shashtri by India today. The man who was once the butt of all jokes, is now India's savior !

Loved the bit about Legend by Association.

Ravi Shastri is Mr. BCCI, he was put the to carry out their work. Another of Srinivasan's puppet!

what work?

Also to all calling for MSD's head, the best place to look at is clarke, australia didnt change captain but the coach and results followed, and to make the case strong against fletcher, only from the moment he came the horror run started, i would rest the blame more on him rather than MSD.

With kristen MSD and the whole team was much better.Likewise get an aggressive coach along with our conservative captain and we will be right on track, a team wanting a good run in any format will not tryout new captains, as it is the recipe for disaster.

even cook to an extent is an example of captain retained coach change working well though i hardly believe england improved by much.

this is fine as it is as we have some discussions going on and will flow better.

Your argument would`ve made some sense if this was the first series defeat under Dhoni overseas. Unlike Clarke who lost the series in India 4-0 followed by the 3-0 in England, Dhoni has presided over close to 15 test defeats overseas. He has been given the longest possible rope. Time for someone else to come in with fresh ideas.

again its nice and well to say numbers like that, but that was a different team, and in all cases captain cant bat for others. will elaborate on this more later.

Msd is the best bet for india for now atleast till Aus tour, a change right now will totally eradicate all the positives built up.
