India's tour of Australia - January 2016

Yeah let's just wait till the ODIs are over. I am sure we will have much better results. Our bowling no doubt is a big worry but from what I saw in that game it was two set batsmen couldn't accelerate at all when needed. They should have gone for the kill once there were nine wickets left. But no. We were some runs short on that wicket. I like MSDs new look. Looks much fitter and hungry to score as someone said. I am sure he will inspire the team once again.

I think they failed to realise that that teh avg score is a pointless thing as the pitch is vastly different from what it used to be. They hrd the first innings avg/par score as 245 or whatever it was, and they thought 300 is a very safe score.

Ashwin needs to prove himself and prove the critics wrong who thinks he is useless in overseas.

Let's see how Sran starts tomorrow. Got some big wickets under his name. He should just focus on line and length and keep hitting the zone.
To me Bhuvi is pretty much gone now. I would like Dhawan at his place if we want a medium pacer and bonus is, he can bat well.

I would say replace Jadeja for Dhawan ... or Drop Shikhar Dhawan open with Mayank Agarwal and play Rishi Dhawan instead.

You mean Manish Pandey

Ya. Jadeja needs to make way for Dhawan. Or Shikhar Dhawan shoud be dropped and Rishi Dhawan should be picked. I want to see Rishi Dhawan play. He should get a chance.

Yeah I keep confusing one for the other I have done this before too

 

[greymatter776]

No Rishi this time too.Ishant replacing Bhuvi is the only change.

 

[abhi_jacko]

So .. time to take out one Dhawan and bring in the other one ? Surely Rishi can score 6 runs ?

Open with Rahane

 

[grkrama]

going to be a replay of the first match ?

Let hope not

The sencond half of the game was boring to watch as an Indian fan.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Or Kohli to open and fulfill his fate as the next Sachin Tendulkar replacement - opener in ODIs, no.4 in Tests

Whatever they do, Shikhar Dhawan is need of sorting himself out. The one benefit is that the only way he goes out is to bring Rishi Dhawan in, and right now by the looks of it, no one in the team management seems to trust him enough.[DOUBLEPOST=1452830451][/DOUBLEPOST]Btw anyone remember what speeds Sran was bowling.

Open with Rahane

I would love this. Rahane should be given the opening slot with Rohit.

Rohit
Rahane
Kohli
Dhoni
Mann
Pandey
R Dhawan/Jadeja (depending on the pitch)
Ashwin
Yadav
Sharma
Sran

Sikhar Dhawan will keep getting chances despite so many worst innings.
Its time to retire Dhoni.
And Dhawan dont deserve to be in team India.
He got alot more chance than Gambhir.
