..this is no way of rotation.. actually kirsten seems to be happy to play second fiddle to Dhoni as long as he gets his contract cheques..this type of whole sole change in the name of testing bench strength only puts pressure on youngsters trying to seal their place in the team... and that is what dhoni wants...
BEST LUCK TO DHONI YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WIN THE 3RD ONE DAY .BECAUSE SOME PLAYER MAY PLAY GAMBLING OR LOSE THE GAME .IT IS INDIA TEAM JOKE WHICH WE WERE SEEN FROM LAST THREE DECADES .NO BODY SAY THIS IS INDIA TEAM –RAKESH KUMAR GUPTA .IT MUST BE CHECKED BY NARKO TEST .
INDIA WILL LOSE THIS MATCH ,IWROTE WHEN INDIA 2ND TEST WON
WE VERY WELL KNOW , WHEN INDIA WILL WIN ,WIN RS 500000 ,WHEN LOST IT WILL WIN CRORE EACH PLAYERS . SOME PLAYERS MUST CHECKED BY NARKO TEST .SOME SENIOR PLAYER WHICH ARE NOT PLAYING THIS TEST ,MUST ALSO CHECKED BY NARKO TEST . THIS WAS WE WERE SEEING FROM LAST THREE DECADES . SOME BOARD MEMBERS ALSO PASSED THIS NARKO TEST . THIS SHOULD BE TIMELY CHECKED BY SOME N.G.O . THIS PRACTICE MUST REGULARLY. THIS HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN . RAKESH-FORMER CRICKETER
his action is very bad.at least they could have gone for vinay kumar as he is a hard-working bowler and is also one of the highest wicket takers this domestic season.
its really waste to comment here on who is laying and who is not as ultimately the decisions are taken by selection team, so why say on that.. its good thing that india is winning...
I think what Kirsten said is right, but in order to do so, INDIA has to to get rid of DHONI FAVORITES and OUT OF FORM players like ISHANT, SREESANTH, NEHRA, MURALI VIJAY, RAINA, PATHAN (who is immensely talented but has not delivered for more than 1 year now), BHAJJI (who gets most chances to get his form back than any other player in the history of Indianc ricket).
The tours to Bangladesh and Srilanka were wasted ridiculously in allowing some OUT OF FORM favorite players to regain their form, but unfortunately they could not.
Its not about we do not have bench strength but poor bench does not get 3-4 matches on trot. They only get to play DEAD rubbers where netiehr DHONI nor KIRSTEN have any interest left. It seems it is just a formality to show that bench strength is tested. There is no desire to come out of FAVORTISIM by DHONI.
no pacer from ind cud bowl with sppeed of above 140 kph in the recent series. it was hardly 128-133. y cant ind find some genuine quickie. even ishant was considered fast. but he bowls at 130-133 speed! our munaf was talking of 150 speed. but even he bowls at 135. looks like ind doesnt hv courageous bolrs.
The selection of fast bowlers and all rounders becomes a bit complicated for the Indian team. There are several posiblities : Overseas conditions with the ball swinging and seaming with pace and bounce and sub continental conditions with spin bowling.
As a result, the selectors can decide to choose its bowling attack based on the conditions as well as ODI versus Test match bowling.
The ODI format in India for opening bowlers is quite a problem these days. With free-hits and power plays the economy rates of ODI bowlers have increased by 1 run per over.
What use be that ECO rate of 4.5 as good, the bar has been lowered to about 5.5. The ECO rates of Dale Steyn of 5.2 is an example. In addition to flat tracks, the need to bowl yorkers, slower ones, bouncers and the effort ball takes time and with some exposure to international cricket these bowlers can eventually mature.
So for ODIs in India, Zaheer, Nehra and Praveen are good selections with pace and control, Jadeja is an excellent choice for a spinner allrounder. In Tests, Ishant and Zaheer are a solid pair in Indian conditions.
In overseas conditions in ODIs Praveen and Irfan Pathan can be good allrounders with Zaheer, Ishant and Sreesanth. I would like to add Tyagi for being as quick as Ishant.
With Nehra and Zaheer already 31 years old, the search for their replacements did not look very good after the last ODI. Tyagi was the quickest of them all bowling at a range of 84-89 mph, in the range of Ishant but was spraying the ball all over the place.
Mithun had better control and could be more suitable for ODIs with his yorkers and bouncers on a faster pitch.
Overall, Tyagi was more suitable for Test matches like Ishant and Sreesanth because of his pace and Mithun for ODI for being a bit versatile.
Sreesanth may just be the #3 seamer outside India for Test matches. We do not have a bowler like Zaheer for now for the future and 2 other bowlers from the IPL team the Rajasthan Royals are future candidates. Kamran Khan and Atul Sharma who is suppose to be quicker than Shoaib and Brett Lee.
For now: Zaheer Nehra and Praveen could be the trio for the WC. We did see the potential in Tyagi and Mithun from this ODI we need to see at least 10-15 ODIs to judge them,
rohit played 44 matches and kirsten one match cant check bench strenght then why to give chance to player they should have played full strenghth team...
Re: rohit got too many chance is it 1 match check
