Some facts that need to be analysed for dravid's presence in wc2011...
Hi Friends good to see you people after Royal send off:)
1)Well there are more and more discussions about Dravid's batting position in clt20 which is going to be held in South Africa.
2)There are some doubts being raised about his presence in world cup2011.
There are some fans saying that his age is gone and he should retire and the same odi team should go for world cup.
But what i will say is he should open in the clt20 with kallis and then he should be included for the worldcup.There are many reasons to justify that.
First of all lets discuss about champions league:
The south african pitches are bouncy pitches so we need some experienced players to handle those bouncy balls.
If we open with kallis and pandey then it's pretty known that dravid will be at no 7 and then it is better not to play with dravid.But he showed us that he was the best in bouncy pitches and continues to be.
He was also one of the reasons for making RCB into final in IPL2009.
If we open with dravid and kallis then kallis will play the supporting role and dravid will play some aggressive part and it will be very halpful for robin,taylor and white to build the innings.
If this combination works out then 180 is confirm and we can defend it comfortably.
Even if dravid or kallis gets out then we have kohli for the backup.One thing we should note is Dravid has to prove the selectors that he is fit for odi.
I think the selectors will make the final decision about the world cup squad after clt20.specially they will look for dravid,kohli and harbajan too..
Next looking into the squad for the world cup first you have to think about the current squad which you will find some hole and there is only one person to fill that hole and that is none other than dravid.
Then the middle order of our team is in complete out of form and if we go for worldcup with this team then it is sure that we are going to lose with some mokka team.
This man Rohit sharma will play only for DC and not for our country and the same case for ojha.Kohli seems to be next option for dravid but dravid will always go ahead with his experience and then look the squad with dravid it will always rokz.
sachin,gambhir,sehwag,dhoni,yuvraj,raina playing major role and dravid giving them company.But it seems a test for dravid which he needs to prove it.They are thinking that he is unfit for odi format but he deserves that because still he has lot to offer in odi for india.
How many chances for kohli,rohit,yuvarj and karthik.we are asking just one chance for dravid and if it is not then its unfair. Everytime dhoni is going with this team for some ICC events and the same poor short ball handling and we are losing.This is what happened last two T20wc.
Now you can say that the seventh batsmen should be jadeja and not our wall.See how jadeja got out in SL series then you will say he is even unfit for gully cricket.
HERE IS THE RESULT:IF HE PERFORMS WELL IN CLT20 THEN DEFINITELY HE WILL BE IN THE TEAM OTHERWISE IT'S UNFAIR TO SPEAK ABOUT IT.
@poshin:Excuse me sir don't say jadeja is a all rounder.He never fulfilled that place.Do you saw the last match i.e final against SL he was made to sit back at the pavilion and the only purpose he served was that 10 overs bowling and yuvraj,sehwag,rohit were used for that job.This showed us that he is going to be out and india going for the seventh batsmen and that bowling option will be combinely served by youvi,sehwag.
Govind mate,
Wanting Dravid in the ODI team says nothing about one's patriotism.
i would still like to see the best playing 11 on the field.
And seriously for the people critical of Jadeja. He has given an all-rounder option that we so search for. Even if he's not upto the mark yet, he's a great prospect and anyone who can bat and bowl is definitely more than handy!
@Holmes,
Not impossible, but I'd say that the selectors will be looking for younger blood and the players for the coming years. This rules out Dravid.
If Dravid{Jammy}opens the batting I would be really happy guys.But according to me our Mr. Dependable Jammy must bat at his favourite & most important position i.e. number 3.He is absolutely superb at number 3.In IPL 3 it was a wrong decision by the team management to send him down the order.MI will never send Sachin at number 7.Jammy must bat at number 3.All the best JAMMY & RCB.
Siddu forgot those comments made by unpatriotic guys da...whatever anyone blabber we are least bothered.Dravid is the best.Even Sachin has to lick dravids foot!Bleady unpatriotic guys here.
Some people are yet to mature i would say.Well when the whole world is against Jadeja,there are two souls who consider Jadeja to even be a player,one of them is M.S.Dhoni and the other is ....Every1 who feels dravid should not be in the indian team well you guys are the most unpatriotic guys i would say.you guys want to see india crash out of the world cup.well that will happen i am sure!Proud to be an indian.
HOLMES one thing i should make clear is this post is not to tell that rcb is going to sa to give chance to dravid and to make him to odi and this is what i felt from ipl2009...
@poshin- thr can be a spot for dravid. its not that there is totally no chance. This CL is shud be too good fr Dravid if there is hope for comeback. Now certainly dravid can be more usefull then kartik, kohli, sharma for that 1 left position.
@ dravia- He opened bcoz kallis did not play. I m certain it will be Kallis-pandey thou personally i wud play Robin-Kallis. Powerplays shud be exploited. U can expect to be scorong 12 rpo in end over often to reach a big score.
i'm sorry to say this but this is very very childish. Rahul getting back in the ODI team is highly impossible. He is not required in the team and the team looks well without him....I agree he's a class player and a great batsman, but his time has come and also gone.
The team for the WC will have Sehwag, Sachin, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Raina, Dhoni, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Nehra, Praveen Kumar/ Ishant/ Munaf or another seamer. There's just one more spot left open and that will be filled by a batsman or an all-rounder rather than a bowler as India as always preferred the 4 bowlers team. So the likely person will be Jadeja (Who is a decent enough bowler and a pretty handy batsman), or a pure batsman in the case of Karthik, Kohli, Rohit Sharma or some other name.
There is no place for Rahul in this Indian team....and I agree with Holmes. It's unfair you want Rahul to open just so he can make a comeback to the ODI team!
Pandey is a bright prospect for the future and I don't see why we shouldn't stick with him and Kallis. Kallis is in good touch too....
With all due respect I say that whatever you said up above is just not possible and even if so remotely, is very much not happening....
