And what does one do with Karthik? Who has probably assured himself a slot in final XI for another 2 years.

With Rayudu out, Karthik seems to be in too. They will just play Dhoni at 4 if Karthik is pegged as a finisher

Chahal resorts to darting himself when he gets hit. Not a very brave spinner like Kuldeep to keep tossing it up slowly which is actually his strength. If he bowls like he did in south Africa, he's a certainty .

I know Chahal is an awful fielder and his batting is, well....

I'd still pick him ahead of Jadeja as a pure bowler though.

So winning last ODI came at huge cost for India...

Paaji, Dhoni only plays LOI for India. Not even List A. So what is he tired at? Shooting for ads!!

Disgraceful from Dhoni. He wants to play top level cricket but won't play any cricket besides IPL and international games.

It all depends on Hardik. To.make up for 1 Hardik, India has to move two or three pieces. A pacy , hitting AR with gun Fielding and a clutch player

Gill is a direct replacement for Rahul. That means he's a backup opener. Not sure he will get a game

Kohli and Shastri's public statements are meaningless.

They said Rayadu was #4 until the WC and dropped him (correctly) after 2 failures. '

Almost certain they will play Gill in the middle order in NZ at some point.

Chief Selector gave that statement.

Kind of talent Gill has shown and how highly he is spoken about, he has to be played in all 5 ODIs in NZ.

I would too. KulCha need to get back to their best for us to dictate terms in middle overs.
 
Chahal is so bad with bat that his dream is to hit a single maximum in international cricket. :))
 
Is Shankar a death specialist? What's Kohli waiting for?
 
And with this, there goes their chance to reach 300.
 
Too many hacks in Australia lineup. Khawaja is the biggest of them. From being world champ to being same level as Bangladesh now in ODI.

Bangladesh is a superior team than the current Australia and Pakistan LOI teams. Bangla is the only team that competed well against India in the last couple of years. I would pay to watch a competitive match between India and Bangladesh than against these poor Aussies and depleted Pak attacks.
 
Fifer for Chahal!!! Doesn't he have a fifer in SA too?
 
Chahal, Kuldeep, Bumrah - 3 match winners for India. Bhuvi is a nice complement alongwith Pandya.
 
Aussies lost control once Maxwell couldn't control his instincts. Just then the commies were discussing how he should be batting up the order. He's a solid no.7 and that's it

Maxwell is technically not a sound player. Moving him up the order may be suicidal. He has a lot of holes in his batting.
 
India need 231... to win the series.

Do Aussies have the bowling firepower to take out the top 3 early...that's their only chance

Jadejas figures is LOL-worthy on this pitch
Click to expand...

Jadeja should be in squad as backup bowler & 1st choice substitute fielder at any cost! Because he can straight away come to groove in any match if some bowler is injured! (his usual effectiveness) But he should not be in the 1st playing XI (LOIs I mean!)

You really care about the result of this game? Chahal took 6 and that means Kohli will have to drop Jadeja. That's a big win.
Click to expand...

Yes I definitely care about a series win against any team at home and overseas. We are playing without Bumrah, Pandya and with oldies and a newbie making a debut. Winning this series will still be a great achievement in Aus. I hate seeing India lose to any opposition!
 
Very slow start, courtesy Dhawan. Though you've to say this pitch doesn't seem to be conducive to strokeplay.

It will be India's first bilateral series win in Australia against Australia, so of course it is a little special.

Rayudu and Jadeja being dropped is great too. Now just need Dhoni out.
 
Every series victory for me is special, specially away from home.
 
MP2011 said:
Jadeja is not dropped, in fact Kuldeep got dropped.

Karthik too needs to be dropped.
Click to expand...

I meant that Jadeja should be dropped soon due to his mediocre performance and how Chahal did. Kuldeep should be back soon, even Kohli isn't stupid enough to keep him out of the team.
 
Although not quite the elephant like Dhoni, Dhawan is becoming atleast a chihuahua in the room.
 
Dhawan never looked comfortable in the entire series! Worrying signs! His form is very crucial for WC.
 
Banking on Vijay Shankar and Karthik again! Must be a repeat of Nidahas Trophy final again!
 
Can Virat, DK and Shankar give support to Dhoni? Lets find out. Go thala
 
Yikes, if Aus could hold onto their catches they could win this.

Look at the fielding setup when Dhoni is at the crease. Test match like
 
Manju has started the customary drooling over Dhoni. Best technique among India Middle order.
