'India's Road to World Cup 2019' is a thread about Neil Wagner? Why? Is he the real son of Rahul Dravid?Funny how you can post that in a thread about Neil Wagner and have it mean something else completely.
If we are going to remove someone from the top - I'd rather move Dhawan, Rohit's real advantage is in games where he stinks the first 30 overs and then beasts the next 20. Still think Rahul can do a fine job at 4 with a few more opportunities.With the kind of form he's in, Sanju Samson can be considered as a specialist batsman at no. 4.
Man, there are too many good contenders for that spot (Suryakumar, Rahane, Iyer, Manish) - hope we don't screw that up.
But my favorite top 4 still remains:
Rahul
Dhawan
Rohit
Kohli
I understand why people don't want to move Rohit and Kohli down the order, but it's worth a shot imo.
Yea my excitement for Sanju lighting up the IPL has been ruined by this.Dhoni is such a ****. Just when you think the drop Dhoni train is gaining proper traction he pulls out an arse saving knock and all his annoying csk fans go "told ya"
never seen Dhawan not opening in any match in any format - so thought that's not an option - but I'll be open to it if it was an optionIf we are going to remove someone from the top - I'd rather move Dhawan, Rohit's real advantage is in games where he stinks the first 30 overs and then beasts the next 20.
Exactly. Whatever we lose from Kohli going from 3-4 or whatever is far less significant from dropping one of the 3 openers and playing Rahane etc instead. It needs to be tried out properly. The 3 ODIs they tried it in against Sri Lanka last year weren't enough.Whichever batsman they decided to move, India definitely need to experiment with a top order of their three openers (not Rahane - the other ones) and Virat pretty much immediately.
Rohit's biggest and most unique strength is that he can get truly humongous scores. He has to open.Rohit at 3 imo.
Unique is a binary thingRohit's biggest and most unique strength is that he can get truly humongous scores. He has to open.
Haha ya that was exactly my reason of not opening with RohitThis is going to be held in England, right? Hopefully, there is going to be a wee bit of swing: wouldn't want to miss watching Rohit open.in those conditions.
offset by his biggest and most unique weakness against swingRohit's biggest and most unique strength is that he can get truly humongous scores. He has to open.
