These have been 10 painful, painful overs. With starts like these we won't get anywhere close to chasing down big totals consistently

These openers really haven't got it right, seriously no point in playing the waiting it out game, their techniques are not as good as kohli's to survive consistently good bowling, might as well have gone for their shots, at least that way we would have had more overs to play with.

It's just a shame our flat track bullies consume so many deliveries and make it even harder for Kohli and co. I've given up on Dhawan tbh.

yeah I'm not sure why Gambhir is not being picked in ODIs, in tests he was crap for the longest time but he was still reasonable in ODI's. Dude has had 2 solid tours of Australia when it comes to ODIs and has the ability to rotate the strike brilliantly as well, probably the safest bet for the WC IMO.

Virat Kohli (c)
Just got the feeling he and Dhoni didn't get along.

Dhoni's keeping him out I'm dead sure. Even in tests, I think Gambhir might be better than Dhawan. Dhawan will be munched alive in England and Australia.... Then again Gambhir was too

I said this back before the SA tour, and Dhawan has proved me right in every single innings after that.

Bloody hell!! 
...i just can't understand this. For a start what on earth is it about Kane Williamson that the nz bowlers can't get their heads around? that boy is just filling his boots each and every game against them now...the sad thing is he doesn't know how to convert. As for this series in general...well it's amazing how WI with a virtual reserve side managed to draw the odi series...and yet India with all their "stars" are getting embarrassed out there... 
. Shami's last over just summed him up...i said the guy struggles against left-handers and we all saw with Nesham did to him...Rohit and Dwahan struggling outside their indian roads is also not a surprise because like i alluded to a few months back they were chewed up and spat out by Delorn Johnson and Jason Holder in an A-team series in the caribbean in early 2012...and they haven't improved away from home since then.
I expect a much closer contest in the test series but imo India will be relying on Pujara, Kohli and Dhoni for most of the runs...Rahane too perhaps but the others just don't look up to standard right now...and lord knows what the bowling will be like...Ashwin is still a run truck in these conditions and will that change in the tests? i have my doubts.

Dhawan still deserves a longer run, but as far as ODIs are concerned I'd bring GG back, especially for the WC because GG has the experience of playing in Aus/NZ and that counts for a lot, and he's a lot less reliant on boundaries unlike Rohit and Dhawan.
