Di Maria's angel
Captain of Moanchester United
3rd umpire looking to over turn again.
Picked Shankar but not Shaw whos clearly 1000 times more talented.
Yes. Unproven in this format. Innings building in ODIs is different to both tests and T20s. There is no resolution to this debate. We just fecked up the task of establishing middle order before the WC. Just look at Iyer's record. He has 2 50s in his 6-7 innings and then just got dropped from squad. Team will persist with Shankar for one more match at least since the other option is unproven too. Pant may get a chance against Lanka or Bangladesh given Kartik is not preferred....His 4 ODIs?
If he's good enough to be first choice to be the first choice for test matches (away to Australia no less), then imo he's good enough to be in the ODI squad at least. Same with Shaw to be honest.His ODI record is nothing to write home about yet.
Bails didnt even come off and it still got reviewed haha
Yeah I forgot Iyer. I thought he could have been given more chances but they were too loyal with Rayudu and then dropped him too. Shankar should not have gone to WC in the first place and to make matter worse they are playing him as a number 4 batter when he is more of lower order batsmen.Yes. Unproven in this format.

Christ stop putting in Shaw. He's not ready for international odi cricket. You and a few others were advocating dropping one of Dhawan Or rohit for him before the tournament started too.
I’d like to see
Shaw
Rohit
Kohli
Rahul
Pant
Pandya
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Yadav
Chahal
Bumrah

Never said that. I said Rohit could be a possible solution at 4. And, of course, hes ready.
Just stop. There is no sense in moving out second best batsman away from his best position. He has multiple double hundreds as opener, would be heights of idiocy to remove him as an opener.Never said that. I said Rohit could be a possible solution at 4. And, of course, hes ready.

he better hope Dhoni doesnt go on and get a big score
pretty hopeless at stumping, that guy.
hopefully he just puts it behind him and gets on with the game.
He's not ready. One look at his IPL innings will tell you that.
Tactical move by Windies to not dismiss Dhoni there.
Think we are going to lose this match. Gayle or Hetymer will plunder a big 100.
