What Jadeja does in the future is in no way a guarantee of what he could've done in the past given the benefit of hindsight of the kinds of surfaces prepared by SA. I understand being upset about that series defeat but it's not crazy to suggest that Jadeja would be just as toothless given that the surfaces were heavily against spin and Maharaj was basically playing as a batter who helped the bowlers rotate more efficiently.

Agree with xix here. No spinner would have taken wickets in those pitche rolled out by SA and England in the two series against India.

Having said that, if warner isn't fit for today's ODI according to what @Burgey said, I would actually be fine with Stoinis being our opener for today's game only. I think Inglis is more suited in our middle order; basically the number 4 spot if Marnus fails to kick on this series.

I'd much prefer to open with Smith tbh, with Green at 4. Particularly in the subcontinent, your best players should be at the top of the order.

SA will prepare similar low scoring surfaces because it gives them the best chance of success against India.

Why? Smith's best ODI position statistically throughout his career is at 3. Don't know why you wanna move him out of that spot. Opening seems like recency bias based on his latest BBL stint

Obviously at full strength Warner would still be opening, on the hope that this washed-upedness in Tests hasn't infected his LO batting too, but like I said: the clear successful strategy for all the actually consistently good ODI teams post-2015 (i.e. not Australia) is to stack their top order with their best, most destructive batsmen. Especially in the subcontinent, where the new ball is actually often the best time to score quick boundaries, I think we should be following that philosophy too.
Yeah, which is making spinners useless like everyone else does. Doesn't mean much about the quality of the Indian spinners in general unless we want to use the shitshows people put up in India to mark them down.

According to cricinfo the XI is
1.Marsh
2.Head
3.Smith
4.Marnus
5.Inglis
6.Green
7.Maxwell
8.Stoinis
9.Abbott
10.Starc
11.Zampa
I'de assume green is actually at 8 and playing as a bowling allrounder/floater depending on situation like he did vs sri lanka and zimbabwe last year. Marsh opening with warner out feels weird since marsh probably bats 5 when everyone is fit anyway and inglis just made a 100 opening in ODI's, but not too fazed either way.
Stoinis playing on the other hand is a ****ing disgrace.

I honestly wouldn't mind david in the ODI setup if he strung a few 50 over games together. He's done well in the format when he's played it. If he can work on his bowling a bit he could be a perfect replacement for maxy.

Smith will probably need a few deliveries to shake off the Test mode tempo he's been used to lately .

LolGuha is an absolute buffoon whose opinion deserves the least respect anyone can give. He was appointed by the SC to help run BCCI and ran away crying in just a month, after writing about how badly cricket was run in India (and connecting to politics) since 2012.
And its funny to see social act innocent when its clear why he posted the link in the first place. Even funnier when blatantly racist posts are allowed to get by coz they are "bait". The bane of CW.
Back to topic:
Our ODI team is just so hard to get excited about. Its so boring with no real backing of multi skilled players.
