***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

[longranger]

Did Dhoni just say that Jadeja and Ashwin will be competing for the spinning all-rounder slot? That's nuts. Both are good enough to play as bowlers alone, leave aside the fact that they can bat. Jadeja may look hit and miss, but he's made 10 ODI 50s along the way. And looks like it will be between Manish Pandey and Gurkeerat for #5 as Dhoni will take #6.

The team I'd play:
1. Rohit
2. Dhawan
3. Kohli
4. Rahane
5. Gurkeerat
6. Dhoni *+
7. Jadeja
8. Ashwin
9. Shami
10. Umesh
11. Ishant (doubt Barinder will get a debut)

Think Dhoni meant between Jadeja and Axar. Ashwin always starts.

 

[Daemon]

There should be no competition between the two because Ashwin is comfortably the better option

 

[longranger]

Think Dhoni meant between Jadeja and Axar. Ashwin always starts.

Ok, that makes more sense. I'd still play Jadeja over Axar. Axar only beats an out of form Jadeja. Jadeja otherwise is a far superior batsman, bowler and fielder. Maybe his Gujarati is better too

 

[Burgey]

Has Raina been dumped or is he injured?

 

[cnerd123]

Dumped to find form playing domestix and to let India try more new blood.

Jadeja is a really good ODI player to be fair. Still think he is an absolute shower in Tests but not as an LO player. So valuable.

Absolute shower?

Never heard that before

 

[Daemon]

I thought Jadeja was more of a grower.

 

[Daemon]

Either way, he's still a ****.

 

[91Jmay]

shower of ****

[NUFAN]

What do India think this is, a one day match?

 

[Daemon]

Excellent stream. I see Sharma's played one of his classic forgot how to bat innings again.

 

[Daemon]

O'Conner's bowling some serious pies.

Australia are deep into the season and we are just going there. Will be difficult to beat them in ODIs. Might win 1/2 t20s. I expect ODIs to be 4-1 or 5-0.

 

[Daemon]

Great catch from Inglis. Danny Morrison lite commentating now.

 

[Daemon]

Sran looks pretty decent though it's obviously hard to tell how he's bowling because of the quality of the batsmen. Definitely rushing them with his short stuff though.

 

[Gnske]

Dhoni always gets into the juiciest of stuff

From what I saw of Sran on youtube a few days back, he looks to have a nice simple action and could generate mid 130s pace.
