*If* we get to the finals, I believe the two leggie ploy has run its course. They are looking very ragged now, be it through fatigue, pressure, or being made to sit out every other game. Jadhav, who should never have been dropped in the first place, should be brought back to aid Jadeja. And Shami too under the condition his quota is used before the 40th over.

Sachin Tendulkar is speaking about KW being stuck in this tough situation where nobody else is contributing....I feel like he's speaking of himself in the 90's.

Neesham and de Grandhomme have had pretty good tournaments, especially relative to expectations. The top order has sucked though, Williamson aside.

He copped some flak, but good on Ross for battling through when he obviously wasn't at his best. Gave us something to bowl to at least, in the end ... and nobody else other than Kane did much.

Who should Shami come in for? Chahal?

Yep

[Prince EWS]

Yep

Haha Jadeja being the only spinner would've been a completely unthinkable option to me just two games ago. I still don't really like it, and I like Jadeja more than most.

I definitely do think there should probably only be one spinner (plus Jadhav) unless it looks like it's going to turn big though.

Agreed, but imagine the mindset KW would have in the nets knowing that he cannot depend on his openers or even Ross. It just changes your approach as a batsman.

If the rest of the day is rained off do NZ just come back tomorrow and have another crack at batting?

 

[wrongun]

Wow, I just realized that Rohit Sharma has never won a WC and Xavier Dorothy has. Life can be unfair.

I believe so. It is not a restart of the game. As it stands India would have to chase 231 in 46 overs in the DL or 148 in 20 overs. Numbers could be slightly off.

I don't particularly like it either but Chahal and Kuldeep have been bad all tournament. Jadeja's weakness is its not difficult for someone to do a fakhar and get on top of him. But chahal and kuldeep have hardly shown they're any less hittable.

Roscoe is one of my ATF. I hope he finally wins one...and I'm an Aussie fan. I literally put everything aside to watch him bat.

 

[Spintolose]

This why you never have a wc in england

But travelling is quick and easy and the crowds are very diverse.

I thought you were Indian. This is a despicable post if so.

Yeah but what happens if all of today is rained off? Is the reserve day just used for one innings or an entire replay?

i figured he's of Indian descent living in Australia who chooses to support Australia

nothing wrong with that IMO. Ethnicity != Nationality.
