India Post Mortem Thread

[ankitj]

Make this thread sticky IMO

 

[centurymaker]

out of the 4 senior players left, I expect at least two to be out.

sehwag/gambhir
sachin
dhoni

Think Dhoni can stick around as wicket keeper alone, but should be stripped off of captaincy.

just searched 'post mortem' and then 'dead body' on googles images coz i thought i'd post a pic or two but FMD I saw some of the most horrifc images and closed the tab in fear.

but would he?

i reckon he will prob just retire from tests if they don't want him as captain.

Can only imagine you found pictures of Gautum Gambhir.

need to keep ashwin, who will talk to the press

They already dropped Zaheer, so they're willing to do some drastic things.

I really think Dhoni's captaincy could be at risk.

It should have been at risk a long long time ago. Now there shouldn't even be an argument.

 

[Jono]

Preaching to the choir biatch

 

[centurymaker]

yeah
but BCCI will potentially lose $$$$ if they drop him.

 

[cnerd123]

- New Coach
- New Captain
- Improved fitness and fielding levels expected
- Improve the First Class structure
- Sachin Retiring
- Yuvi, Raina, Chawla to never play Tests again, ever.

I discussed the need to look to alternate captaincy arrangements in my award winning thread http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cri...dian-cricket-test-series-report-analysis.html

Who are the wicket keeping options currently? Should they dump Dhoni all together ofcourse.

Absolutely despise Sehwag's attitude. That smirk on his face when he was caught napping at first slip, perhaps annoyed me the most this series. But he seems too big a wicket at home for the selectors to drop. Even though in my opinion, it was Gambhir that showed more of a fight in this series than him. And in no shape or form does the man seem like a professional athlete.

Q) Do you think India would have played better had the majority of their players used Kookaburra bats?

Uday Kaul or WP Saha.

I really don't see wholesale changes being made, much to a lot of annoyance. Ojha, Ashwin, Ishant and Yadav all did well at least at one point through the series. If Chawla is next cab off the rank than neither of them have too much to worry about.
With batting there are a lot more options. Mukund, Vijay and Rahane could all come in at the top and Rahane, Badrinath and Rohit who could come into the middle order. Hell there's Yashpal Singh, Nayar and Tiwary too.

 

[silentstriker]

Sachin is now older than his average has been. That's a pretty good clue for a drop.

Completely agree. And it's been the same for the English + Australia series too.
