who should be dropped ?

[masterofthegame]

I think Chopra should be kept and Parthiv Patel should be dropped.Rahul Dravid can keep wickets and Ganguly also can and there will be no problem with keeping Yuvraj.

 

[masterofthegame]

Sorry "Ganguly can return back"

 

[pal]

Yeah who cares about P. Patel.... let's just throw that "ignorable" matter of 62* in the trash can....... : :

 

[Markyb]

Yeah that is true they do average more than Langer/Hayden even though they've played a lot less Tests but still come on the only current opening pair averaging more than them is Smith/Gibbs ? That is saying that they are a good opening pair !!!

 

[Markyb]

Yeah that's true Chopra/Sehwag are currently 2nd in the world for average opening stands they're behind Smith/Gibbs who average 80.93 and ahead of Langer/Hayden who average 59.35 ? So that's saying even though they've played a lot less Tests than the other two that they are a good opening pair, so why possibly mess something up while it's going well ???

Sorry guys but I didn't even want to post on this page but they keep on being directed here ??? Trying to post on the Yuvraj/Chopra topic ??? :unfazed:

Chopra would have to be dropped imo, Yuvraj offers a lot with his batting and fielding.? Can even bowl a decent ball or two when needed as well? :OOO:

chopra seems to be a class fielder as well. He has definately taken some class catches in recent past... I stick to my guns: Drop Laxman.

Or the option of no ganguly!

Hey, that was me!

 

[f0bstyle]

Apparently akash chopra will be dropped with either yuvraj or ganguly opening

 

[Nirav85]

i got say chopra, like gangs said, u cant dorp a guy who just scored a century but i rather see dravid opening the innings, he and chopras style is similar and if there is one guy u want seeing through the new ball, it would be dravid

 

[zaf1986]

in the end, Patel is opening!

 

[indyan]

in the end, Patel is opening!

I think it's a good move.He is the perfect foil for Shewag.But now that Shewag has got out cheaply,it may look a bit stupid.

I think opening with Yuvraj and Shewag will be too risky.
And as far as Dravid is concerned he is very unwilling for that job.

I think going by the way he played in the second innings Parthiv is a better bet.
So Chopra must give away for Yuvraj who will play in the middle order,and let Parthiv open.

Sorry guys but I didn't even want to post on this page but they keep on being directed here ??? Trying to post on the Yuvraj/Chopra topic ??? :unfazed:

:OOO: What's that supposed to mean?

yer your right Jazz, i'm talking about the massive amounts of time-wasting

Well,I also don't support time wasting,but you have to remember the immense pressure on Ganguly.It's a billion people's responsibility on his solders.Cricket is a religion here.he has to make sure that he gets everything spot on.Hence it's possible that he may take a bit of time in setting the field in tight matches.And just because of that u can't say that Ganguly sucks. :mellow:

 

[f0bstyle]

should have dropped sehwag, out first ball

 

[masterofthegame]

ya ... and parthiv opening with sehwag ... its an amazing decision ... as Ramiz Raza said dont bowl to patel keep him there :
