Semifinals and Final

[surendar]

I would stick with the side that one in the semi final.

Yes, its always safe to go with winning formula.. But still, Joginder is going to be a big gamble. I think, most probably, India will go with unchanged side.

Why do you think no-one likes the Australians or Saffas?

I didnt mean that... Many are too soft natured in Indian side you know. Dravid has been the perfect example for that.

More than Yuvi's six 6s, i was stunned when he said, " Broad being the main strike bowler, i feel sorry for him. I returned those sixes with compliments which was consumed in England. " We need this aggressiveness in all the eleven players.

Joginder bowled well in that last over he bowled and since he bats as well I would have him in looking at it from a neutral point of view.

Why do you think anyone likes the Saffas?

India are most likely to stick with Joginder, they wouldn't want to play anyone in the finals who hasn't played previously in the tournament.

Why do you think Australia and South Africa, to a lesser extent, have been so successful in the recent past? There are, as always, other factors, but Australia's aggressive and positive attitude on the field has been one of the major reasons for their success.

Yousuf Pathan to be brought in in this stage>

I would stick with the side that one in the semi final.
I say don't fix what is not broken.

Final is not a childs play. I hope that you saw Jogindar's bowling yesterday.
If you still stick with him you are doing a big big gamble

In the final bring an experienced player, like Agarkar, yes A G A R K A R. Jogindar and Agarkar are of the same type. But the plus point of Agarkar is that he is EXPERIENCED. Many of you may think that i am out of my mind, still if you dont want to bring Yousuf Pathan bring Agarkar but not Jogindar,he lacks experience which agarkar dosent. Agarkar may be a bit costly but the other bowlers can ball well and make it up.

 

[Adarsh]

I don't know about Yousuf Pathan. Never seen him play, but I feel he's going to be another trundler who the opposition can batter.

 

[RoboRocks]

I know he was expensive in his first 3 overs but he did bowl well in his last over to finally deny Australia.
If I was captian I would certainly want to keep my team the same and give the nod since his last over won India the game.

The game was already won at that stage. You've got to be bowling real awful to let 22 runs off your over.

He only conceded a boundary of his last ball although the game was won.
He could still of conceded more runs.

In the final over all the pressure was on the Aussies. And remember Jogindar got away because when he came to bowl Brett Lee was batting, not the big hitters like Symonds or Hayden.

He is better than agarkar who could have surely conceded 22 runs

 

[Cricketman]

Agarkar?
Phoey. he's crap.
Experience schmeperience, this is t20. India are new to this game. We've done well, and EVERYONE in our side is inexperienced.
I still don't like Joggy though.

 

[Adarsh]

Ian Chappel talks some nonsense at times. He's been constantly criticising Harbhajan for bowling yorkers, instead of flighting and trying to spin the ball. I completely disagree. In 2020, you can't really be flighting the ball too often. Harbhajan has done very well with his bowling.

 

[Cricketman]

Ian Chappel always looks at something in Indian cricket to criticize.
Why doesn't he say something about his own team, which got knocked out by INDIA.
Just noticed that Adarsh and I are almost equal in terms of posts
