India Squad Discussion

[stumpski]

So that's how India are going to take their wickets - batsmen retiring bored.

Seems like a straight up shootout for all the 7 bowlers. Not surprising exactly 0 have stepped up for the challenge. Good to see Pathan get hit for plenty.

 

[Daemon]

First actual wicket and it's from a ball going down leg.

 

[Prince EWS]

Only just realised this was televised.

 

[Spikey]

love how India's warm-up is against SL

Soo boring from our batsmen....
Only Kohli is exciting!!!

 

[kingpin]

50 for kohli!!

 

[Daemon]

Kohli is such a talent. So gun.

 

[Daemon]

Kartik's on t20 mode

 

[Daemon]

Why is Sanga keeping btw?

 

[Spark]

Sanga always keeps in ODIs

 

[Cevno]

Kohli What a knock. Even though it was a warmup.

Surprising lack of Kohli pics by Jono so far.

 

[grecian]

I very much look forward to Rohit Sharma getting picked in the CT ahead of Kartik, because he's gun in IPL

Karthik was picked based on the IPL as well..

 

[Prince EWS]

Karthik was picked based on the IPL as well..

I like to think Karthik was picked based on suitability and familiarity to the conditions, as well as being a backup wicket keeper. He was employed as a Test opener in England a few years back and looked really good so I thought the selection was partially based on that.

But you're probably right.

Actually I think it's a bit of both. He was in the squad for the Pakistan ODI series, but didn't get a game. That was most likely due to his gun Ranji and OD season. What got him into the XI was probably the IPL though.

Good to see Yadav is finally fit again. Looks a decent prospect.
