No one really believes this. Pant is a far bigger loss to our test team than the odi team. He's shown some improvement in the shorter fornats but isn't all the way there yet..Pant averages almost half that and apparently he fixes the Indian team if he comes back ..
okay then jaiswal
our issues in odis are many
we do not have any top order or middle order batsman who can bowl a few overs. even if they could we do not have a captain who would use them. rohit is tactically average to put it mildly and so is the coaching team. what we need is to rohit to do what is best for the team and move to middle order so that we have a number 4 who can handle spin in an asian world cup year. he will retire soon anyway in a year maximum so his position does not matter anymore. it will quickly fix lots of issues in the side. we know what this means. its time. for my daily xi.
world cup xi should be something like
jaiswal 7
gill
kohli
rohit
rahul +
hardik 3
jaddu 5
sundar 6
kuldeep 4
shami 2
siraj/bumrah 1
Why would Rohit drop down the order

Yeah these series are fun for us fans but in the overall scheme they’re tune ups for the WC and little else, especially at this stage of the cycle.Bilateral ODI series don’t mean that much imho. India have won their last 4 ODI + T20 series against England since 2018 .I doubt you can call us more successful than them in last 4 years in ODI or T20
Piss with the line up ?Horrible loss for India
Australia was taking the piss with that lineup and still won easily in the end
Maxwell, Green and Cummins will probably all play in the line up at the WC. Tbh someone like Matt Short would be worth a shout in the squad too.Piss with the line up ?
Except Cummins for Abbot , I don’t see even one change in their line up for WC.
In batting they might drop Labu for Maxwell . That is it. Smith isn’t getting dropped and neither is Warner .
Agar is playing in the WC as 2nd spinner . Aus aren’t playing all 3 of Starc + Cummins + Hazlewood in IND . Stoinis bowling would be more useful than Green in these conditions.
Who would you bring Green for ? Stoinis?Maxwell, Green and Cummins will probably all play in the line up at the WC.
Everyone saying Cummins is not that great an ODI bowler is right of course, but he’s the captain so he’s going to be playing and has to be factored in.
Warner in the middle order might just work for the WC, and I do like front loading the batting with Marsh and Head up front.
Why would Rohit drop down the order
Nah ridiculous. Green is so much better than Stoinis in every facet of cricket.Who would you bring Green for ? Stoinis?
But I feel Stoinis bowling is more effective on these pitches than Green
Hazlewood is No. 1 ranked ODI bowler.Hazelwood and Cummins are pretty overrated in ODIs. Neither is really among the best few ODI bowlers in the world.
Siraj was #1 ahead of him before he got spanked senseless in a 10 wicket defeat. It is doubtful whether either Siraj or Haze makes his country's best XI which pretty much proves ODI rankings are meaningless in the JAMODI era.Hazlewood is No. 1 ranked ODI bowler.
