Yeah I don't think Jadeja has been bad at all; it wouldn't be a performance-related change. Banking on twenty overs of spin is never ideal in Oceania to begin with though, and against Bangladesh specifically the gap between the quality of Binny's bowling and Jadeja's bowling pales into insignificance due to the strengths and weaknesses of the Bangladesh batsmen. I'd almost definitely swap them back for the semi if India won; it'd be horses for courses.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing either, I guess its more just a case of whether Binny is consistent enough to bowl a reasonable line and length. I haven't seen him bowl that much so it might be a result of that, and he has increased his pace ever so slightly. I guess I'm just afraid of him coming into the game and bowling leg side rubbish or something like that, at least with Jadeja you know exactly what you are going to get and I'm okay with what he brings as a bowler, knowing that he can cop a pasting. I also feel that Bangladesh's pace v spin domination is overstated. Just can't see Binny troubling them that much more than Jadeja tbh.

You said you can't see Binny troubling the Bangladesh team. That was one instance of it. And, India did not play many matches against Bangladesh with him in the team after that.

I was talking specifically in the next game, his performance in a low scoring bowler friendly wicket with leg side freebies getting wickets is hardly proof of his skill as a bowler.

Haha Kohli.

But ya it reminded me that I need to see the movie. (I liked Navdeep's earlier movie Manorama)

What do you mean? That was the best ODI bowling performance ever...

Not the best but, not the worst as well.

And Contra: Jadeja is one of my favourite players. I too prefer Jadeja over Binny. I was just quoting one instance where he did well. Can't undermine that by saying that he did it by fluke. Only way Binny could have played is instead of one of the 3 seamers in case they were not doing well. Now, he can take a nice rest.

Very premature thread. India have to get to the final first and odds are against them to do that.

We've got so many wickets with the short ball with Shami in particular bowing some pretty sharp skiddy bouncers. Hopefully they don't overdo it though because you get the feeling Australia put a lot more preparation and analysis of their opposition compared to most teams (other than England and their statistics of course) so they might be a bit more prepared than other teams who've been caught by surprise.
