Replace Pandya with Kohli/Williamson and that's a good team.
I think he will. Kuldeep and Chahal haven't done enough to cement their places.
Yep, this looks close to mine if we're sticking to where players have played (although I think I'd have to take Roy out given how much of the tournament he's missed). Not sure about Smith or Pandya either, but struggling to think of anyone that did better.
Yup - I'd drop Williamson for... damn I don't even know.
Bhuvneshwar and kuldeep trying their best to not be selectes for the semis. Both of them look so uninspiring.
Disappointed to see Bhuvaneswar and Kuldeep struggle to find their length and line. Happy that Sri Lanka are putting up a score that'll require the middle order to step in.
Kuldeep just hasn't done enough this WC to warrant a place in the semis. I think that, and Kohli's favouritism, means that Chahal will be selected ahead of him.
Shami has already been brilliant, so he'll come back either in place of an off-colour Bhuvi or along with him if we go with 3 pacers.
The interesting question is, who will make the cut from the trio of Kedar Jadhav, DK and Jadeja?

It seems we give few runs away every match from behind the stumps.
If DK doesn't perform, I would go with Jadeja. That makes the batting a bit weak but there will be more bowling options. If only Jadeja could bat with a bit more consistency
Barring Bumrah, our death bowling options look bleak.
Yup Dhoni has been below average behind the wickets too.
Looking at today's performance barring bumrah our bowling in general look bleak.
Well, they are the third team then. Windies first, India second and Pakistan third. You may say 2.5 almost
I think Chahal and Shami will improve us by a lot.
Kuldeep apart from the Pakistan match has been generally underwhelming.
Wow Saffers really destroying the aussies right now.
Why did Silva come in before Perera? Waste of space having him in the team if you don't give him 10 overs at the crease.
Yes and the other problem with him is that he gets worse once he gets tonked a bit, whereas Chahal keeps coming back even when getting a beating (hence Kohli uses him in the powerplay as well).
India's fielding/catching is really impressive.
Yeah I was just saying that for all the talk about Kohli favoritism towards Chahal, it has been a right decision to drop Kuldeep.
Speaks a lot about batting first advantage in this tournament.
Bumrah this tournament:
vs SA: 2-35, 1 maiden
vs AUS: 3-61, 1 maiden
vs PAK: 0-52
vs AFG: 2-39, 1 maiden
vs WI: 2-9, 1 maiden
vs ENG, 1-44, 1 maiden
vs BAN, 4-55, 1 maiden
vs SL, 3-37, 2 maidens

Yeah apart from the dropped catches
KP calling Malinga 'old' and asking Indian batsmen to take him on.
So if you're Australia, would you rather face England or NZ?
You’d have to think NZ, that being said I think they’d beat either of us.
Jesus SL are bowling some utter tripe
Dread to think what would happen to Indias batting without Rohit right now
Man is a genius.
India are going to finish top 
Van der Dussen has held ground till Tea. Can he survive till Stumps on Day 4?
Edit: He just read the caf and hit a 6.

The tickets for the Manchester semi final were available for 150 quid on the black market...
Rahul looks better today. Would be good to see him play faster.
Surprised at lack of big hundreds this WC.
Been a couplebof 150s. Last world cup was ridiculous though - mostly because of the short boundaries in NZ though IIRC
But few players looked very settled after getting to hundred and then just gifted it away.
I think he heard you.
If Australia chase whatever Saffers put up, fair play.
Why the feck would they send Duminy in?
