I fancy this Bangladesh team. But how costly will it be not having two slips on Kohli early on?
He accelerates pretty well though. Hoping imam learns how to do the same.
Never realised Rohit was that slow in powerplays.
Yes. But sentiments..and past recordsPointless having both Dhawan and Rohit opening.
Nah, we've just made them look better. 19 off 42 is pathetic in 2019.Guessing the pitches are better than the roads in pak eng series?
The solution was to drop Rohit down the order. He's a terrific hitter late on.Yes. But sentiments..and past records
There's two sides to Rohit - the slow shit guy between overs 0-30 and then the best hitter ODI cricket has ever seen, towards the end of an innings.

That's a shame, was hoping for a better balance between bowl and bat.Nah, we've just made them look better. 19 off 42 is pathetic in 2019.
It's a decent solution indeed, he'd be perfect at 4, especially to counter the annoying middle over spin.The solution was to drop Rohit down the order. He's a terrific hitter late on.
Well, the weather is forecast to be cool for the beginning of June so we may not see flat wickets.That's a shame, was hoping for a better balance between bowl and bat.
Might be premature to say but even if we get 70% of the old Dhoni this WC, we have a great chance of winning the whole thing. Dhoni on full flow is something else.Old MS is back.
Actually, I reckon we've never seen this version of MS before. This recent IPL is the most destructive I've seen. And this innings is so unlike recent Dhoni.Might be premature to say but even if we get 70% of the old Dhoni this WC, we have a great chance of winning the whole thing. Dhoni on full flow is something else.
Bristol has to be the easiest place to bat on the entire planet.West Indies are in a different zone.
Hmm... what about Shami/Jadeja/Kuldeep?This will be my preferred line up
Dhawan
Rohit
Kohli
Rahul
Dhoni
Pandya
Jadeja/jadhav
Kuldeep/chahal
Bhuvi
Shami
Bumrah
I am not too comfortable having Jadeja at number 7 but replacing jadhav might be an option. Wish one of Kuldeep or chahal could bat like Ashwin or even bhuvi, would have been valuable.
I had one of of Jadeja or Jadhav and one of Chahal or Kuldeep. Depending on the pitch we might drop one of the pacers and play both KulCha.Hmm... what about Shami/Jadeja/Kuldeep?
I'd go Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahul, Jhadav, Dhoni, Pandya, two from Jadeja/Shami/Kuldeep, Bhuvi, Bumrah.
Thank goodness for that, definitely don't want to see the likes of Shankar/Jadhav/DK in the position.Guess Rahul has booked his place at number 4 now.
Jadhav if fit will be in the team at 6 anywayThank goodness for that, definitely don't want to see the likes of Shankar/Jadhav/DK in the position.
Bring back 2005 Irfan Pathan.I've said this for years, but I feel like India need a pinch hitter at the top. You need someone to get India a quick start, and you want Kohli coming in around the 15 over mark.
Dhawan & Rohit take too long to get going.
