India's tour of West Indies June 2011

[Dare]

You guys didn't mention Chanderpaul, or am I missing something?

Shiv doesn't want to be the captain and I think the selectors don't want to put anymore pressure on him.

Might be some good news for as Fidel Edwards is making his comeback today. Playing for Barbados against the England Lions.

Looks like our full strength team would be playing in the tests (Bhajji said in media that he is looking forward to playing all the tests in WI) but ODI side is expected to have few new faces.

Below is my team that I think BCCI should send for ODIs :

1. A Mukund
2. M Vijay
3. C Pujara
4. S Raina (C)
5. P Patel (W/K)
6. Y Pathan
7. I Pathan
8. R Ashwin
9. P Kumar
10. R P Singh
11. M Patel

A Rahane
S Tiwari
M Tiwari
R VinayKumar
Amit Mishra

* Resting V Kohli because I want him to take M Vijay's spot of back-up in Test squad.
....................

Test
...............
1. G Gambhir
2. V Sehwag
3. R Dravid
4. S Tendulkar
5. VVS Laxman
6. C Pujara
7. MS Dhoni (C) (w/k)
8. H Singh
9. Z Khan
10. I Sharma
11. S Sreesanth


Y Singh
V Kohli
A Mishra
R P Singh
I Pathan
U Yadav

* Carrying one extra pacemen in U Yadav. And giving I Pathan and RP Singh a chance to find form and become a potential selection for the Eng tour in July
* A Mishra deserves a place. The guy keeps taking wickets in FC and OD games and should be preferred over P Ojha.

Considering how the Pak series is going, this one is going to be a cake-walk for India.

If Parthiv Patel gets anywhere near the team ever again Im gonna punch babies.

 

[mohit_dude10]

I hope Ambati Rayadu, Badrinath get a chance in the ODI series. Even Irfan pathan, Ishant and RP should be given a go along with Ashwin and Ojha/Mishra as 2nd spinner.

 

[SaiSrini]

Rayudu, Badrinath and Manoj Tiwary should be seriously considered for the ODI's here. With Sachin, Sehwag most likely to rest and MSD also in the fray for a break, I would pick Rayudu and Manoj Tiwary to replace Sachin and Sehwag and open with either of them along with Gambhir (both can open). If Dhoni also takes rest, then Parthiv should come in for Dhoni and Badrinath can be kept as a backup batsman.

This would be my teams for the ODI's and Tests

ODI
Gautam Gambhir (captain)
Ambati Rayudu
Suresh Raina
Virat Kohli
Manoj Tiwary
Yuvraj Singh
S Badrinath
Parthiv Patel
Ravichandran Ashwin
Pragyan Ojha
Amit Mishra
Ishant Sharma
Praveen Kumar
Munaf Patel
Umesh Yadav

Tests
Gautam Gambhir
Murali Vijay
Rahul Dravid
Sachin Tendulkar
VVS Laxman
Cheteshwar Pujara
MS Dhoni
Suresh Raina
Harbhajan Singh
Pragyan Ojha
Zaheer Khan
Ishant Sharma
S Sreesanth
Munaf Patel
Umesh Yadav

 

[War]

Just wondering how Parthiv Patel is being mentioned as back-up keeper, if Dhoni is rested?. What's up with D Karthik?

Perhaps it would be better not to threaten to take innocent lives (especially) over something so trivial...

 

[Amiya]

IMO Murali Vijay sucks in limited over cricket. His selection for test maybe justified but for ODI'S and T20, he will be a very bad choice. He just fires in ipl and haven't done a lot at international arena. However would love to see Badrinath in the test side.

 

[puneet28]

Robin Uthappa Should be considered as Second Wicket-Keeper..

He is very attacking batsman and doing well in keeping..
