Injury news

[Tom Flint]

Who is the biggest miss for their side of all the players rules out?
I'd say hasaranga, a batsman who can clear the ropes and not look out of place coming in at 7 while being one of your sides best bowlers is hard to replace. Messes up the balance of their side and limits their chances of causing an upset. His good enough to turn a game their way on his own.
Nortje the biggest miss for casual fan as he's a gun 93+ quick but for South Africa they do have cover

 

[Molehill]

Judged by some of the Pakistani bowling on show at the mo, I'd say Naseem is going to be a big miss.

 

[Tom Flint]

Think they may need a long on

 

[Tom Flint]

Or to stop bowling in the slot on middle and leg

 

[Molehill]

Or a captain that doesn't set his fields judged by what happened the previous ball.

Travis Head not being available until late into the tourney might well cost Aus a finals spot tbh

heck Kishan has a 200 and averages over 50 when opening

as far as replacements go India could do worse

 

[ankitj]

Henry to be replaced by Jamieson.

Hardik Pandya ruled out of WC . Replaced by Prasidh Krishna

Ugh that is massive. We lack batting depth as it is and if one of our bowlers has an off night in the sf, it puts us in a big hole.

That’s a huge out, and also sucks because he’s one of my favourite players to watch.

I would have replaced him with Tilak Verma. Tilak is a good fielder so it helps to have him on the bench, plus he gives us a batsman who can bowl AND a left hander in the top 5.

Agreed.
How is a genuine all-rounder replaced by a fast bowler. When your fast bowling attack is doing well, what's the point of adding another fast bowler?
If Axar is available, he would been a better choice

Maybe as cover for one of the fast bowlers if one of them get injured

Then just call up another quick if they get injured..

Everyone is just a short flight away and probably already playing the SMAT if they're not in the squad.

Exactly. It should should've been like for like replacement or at least a batsman who can bowl, not a fast bowler who can't even hold the bat.
