Indian Cricket Dhaba

[honestbharani]

2007 was bad but then we never really had a prayer of beating that Aussie side even with our best men all in their best moods. 2019 is gonna be so disappointing coz its obvious we have the team and the talent to bring home the WC and yet we are gonna squander it away with off field issues. The Pak board are doing better than us, FFS.

This is really poor even by BCCI standards

The BCCI had nothing to do with this mess, for a change. This is entirely on the shoulders of the COA and the CAC.

India to host Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in home season | The Indian Express

A bazillion limited overs matches scheduled over the next few months and the SA tour will be cut short again. **** this ****,ive been looking forward to that tour for ages.

That is ****. Why can't we have 4 Tests in SA. FFS

Then again, if we're getting smashed, it might be a blessing, but I suspect we might not do so bad in this round of overseas tours. Did relatively well in our last two-three trips there, last time with a very inexperienced team.

This sucks. What else can you say. All the tests vs SL too. Whatever.

 

[honestbharani]

As long as RSA board or BCCI can agree to having 4 tests during that tour, I am excited by this itinerary. This is a lot more cricket than I thought we will get and it will be fun to go watch an ODI at the Chepauk again after ages. That too against Australia.

Just off the top of my head but wow, such disparity between the first and second XIs. Wonder which other nation's team will have so much difference in quality between their first and second XIs.

Nah, 2nd XI:

S Dhawan
V Sehwag
G Gambhir
R Sharma
R Dravid +*
S Raina
R Shastri
R Ashwin
M Prabhakar
A Agarkar

No room for Sidhu or Srikkanth?

No

Lol.. can't believe I forgot the Almighty AA and Sehwag and Gambhir. FFS Bharani.

 

[harsh.ag]

Agarkar's in the first XI, you ****s

 

[honestbharani]

Nah... Zak and Srinath both better.

 

[cnerd123]

You know no one is reading each others posts because HB's first XI has just 10 players in it

My XI:

Sachin
Saurav
Kohli
Dravid
Yuvraj
MSD (+) (*)
Kapil
Bhajji
Agarkar
Kumble
Srinath

Number 4 is tricky. Could slot Kohli in there and get Gambhir at 3.

 

[Shri]

Raina could actually be a contender for a spot in the first XI. Has scored so many runs in ODIs quietly.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah Raina definitely adds the right balance to the side.

Yuvi dropped for the LO games in SL.

India squad

Virat Kohli (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma (vice-capt), KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Ajinkya Rahane, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur.

 

[honestbharani]

Not too sure of the balance, tbh. Really unsure why Rahane is still there when Rahul is available. I would have rather kept DK or brought in Raina there. Ultimately we are still missing a really good #4 and with MS showing definite signs of decline, its gonna be hard for us to be a force in LO cricket for a while.

Guess writing is on the wall on Pant as well. Bloke needs a lot more time on the A circuit by the looks of it. Hope he goes well and forces himself back to the side. Pretty obvious MSD is on borrowed time too.

 

[Daemon]

Axar Patel :/

I guess they wanted one of those left arm dart throwers in the squad. Would rather Nadeem or something.
