Not sure if trolling? I understand english may be a second language though, so in this context:

"recent" = last 2 years
"lost it" = last month

Well thanks, didn't really have an idea of White's current form either so what you said felt like a contradiction.

Bhuvi, Ishant and Shammi isn't actually that bad a bowling attack, we're gonna miss Jadeja big time for his all round skills but hopefully Akshar patel can fill in for us. The thing I'm worried the most about is our #4, seriously we're gonna give Rayudu an extended run at that position in a WC?

I think Kohli should bat at 4 with Rahane at 3.

 

[Daemon]

Normally I'd be tempted to say that you shouldn't move him from where he's been doing the business but in this case I think you're right.

 

[Contra]

I think Kohli should bat at 4 with Rahane at 3.

I really don't want Kohli to be moved to #4, he's been incredible @ 3 and I want our best bat to be in as early as possible. Personally I would open with Rahane and bat Rohit at 4, removing Rayudu from the equation altogether.

 

[anil1405]

Kohli should bat at 3. Dhawan, Rohit and Rahane as the top 3 would be a bit of self-destruction.

 

[Cruxdude]

Dhawan really needs to start scoring again otherwise we are going to have Rahane and Rohit opening which might actually be our best combination.

What is Rahanae's ability to score 360 degrees like? Is he the sort who can play good dab shots and scoops etc? You can get away with not being the smallest batting low down if you can hit it in funky areas.

No you're right I could have been more specific. Basically he's just looked terrible in the Big Bash.

He does have the shots but I feel he is better at opening, Rahane is at his best when he is not forced to score, its kind of hard to explain but unless he's in the first 10-15 overs in an ODI he's not gonna be that productive. He had one full series in NZ in the middle order and he did terribly. I think Rahane is at his best opening in limited overs cricket.

Rohit @ 4 is also not the worst move, the guy was our premier #4 way back in 2008 when I thought this guy is going to score a ton of runs for us, but Rohit ended up being the biggest disappointment in limited overs cricket in a long time.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ha, I'm sure Rohit could do fine but they'd never move him in a million years after two doubles opening. With Rahane I just can't help but think of Root, who also isn't thought of as a big hitter and fast scorer but in ODI's has done better the lower down he's batted.

[ajdude]

flat pitch so bell will probably make a ton off like 115 balls and England will get about 6/279

 

[Swingpanzee]

Haha Ali trying these ****y shots and the commentator talking about his 'bushy beard'. Lol Moeen's bat flies high into the air.

 

[Antihippy]

What is with the englishmen losing their bats?

 

[Red]

Is Catherine McGregor a tranny?

Deeper voice than Jim Maxwell.

 

[Red]

Maxwell aspirations to skip? Lol

 

[Antihippy]

Gosh I love watching moeen thrash it around.
