*Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

Lol Burgey got banned.

Oh no. Who will tell us now that this result is usual for a world cup year?

 

[h_hurricane]

Greater AB, Butler, Bairstow and Jadhav are the only batsmen who have strike rate of 100+ and average 40+ in ODIs (min 1000 runs).

 

[h_hurricane]

We've always known this team is excellent at chasing middling scores. Karthik and Pandya are the only reliable ones (down the order) in a 300+ chase.

Looking at the framework of this team and given the fact that he is out of the ODI team, I don't see Karthik making it for the world cup. Pandya replacing Shankar would definitely help in 300+ chases.

 

[ankitj]

Pandya does score quick but he doesn't score big to be reliable player for 300+ chases. He is no Yuvraj. Not yet.

Hmm, probably yes. One good thing about him is he does not waste time. A 20 ball 30 from him could be of real help in 300+ chases. He is no Yuvraj and certainly no Kohli. Dhoni at 5(grafter), Jadhav at 6(brisk scorer) and Pandya at 7(6th gear) could be really a handy well rounded combination in a big run chase. Without top 3 contributing, I would still give up in a 330+ chase though.

He should be though.

Dhoni at 4, Jadhav at 5, Karthik at 6, Pandya at 7 gives India a decent chance to chase 300+

 

[ankitj]

Jadhav's round arm bowling was irritating enough I assume. Now he has even started bending his knee and delivering from almost a squat position. What a troll.

That is a good order. But Rayudu is picked ahead of Karthik mostly, on face value of his higher average. Karthik definitely adds more value in a big chase though as you mentioned.

Pandya is a useful player at 7 for sure. Not necessarily for being a source of lot of comfort when starting a 300+ chase however.

 

[Starfighter]

So hang on, who here was advocating dropping Jadhav?

 

[Zinzan]

Damn India's ODI bowling attack is good. I mean I get it's only against Australia, but still..

 

[halba]

So hang on, who here was advocating dropping Jadhav?

hard to measure form vs this Aus very very weak team though. Can he do it against 50% higher score(e.g. England or someone else)

On Form, australia is easily one of the weakest ODI sides past 2-3 years.

England still the side to beat.

He started his career by doing exactly that.

 

[ankitj]

Yeah, Jadhav played a couple of very good scores chasing big totals against England, one successful and one unsuccessful.

 

[aussie tragic]

With Marsh coming in next game, who will be dropped? I would drop Finch, however assume Langer will drop Turner so that Maxwell is pushed down to #6

What ever the correct option is, the opposite will happen.

 

[social]

[Daemon]
