Should Dravid open? Not only this but lot more questions on world cricket?

1. i dont think dravid should open, dravid is a good finisher to a ODI game and i think he should bat lower down the order.

2. i think pathan or dhoni will be promoted if india lose an early wicket. if pathan does come in i think he could regain his form.

3.no i think strauss should continue. he has played 30 tests for england and has played alot of county cricket so he does have the experience. i think flintoff is engs best player so giving him the captaincy as well as him bowlingand batting would put too much pressure on him. i think he should be appointed vice captain so he can help with the descion making, but does not have to spend to much time thinking.

4. i think nazir and braken are just backup players for their country. i think they are not good enough at the international scene. i think kapugedera is just there coz SRL dont have any other players. i think RP is a young upcoming bowler. i think he should keep playing , coz he maybe able to improve.

yes Dravid should open the innings because every fan will say that Dravid should open because he is a batsmen that can play more and even the coach also says that dravid should open because he has to play more balls in order to make a good target i know that he plays very slow but he is a technical batsmen

2)Ur question is right about Irfan pa than but when should Sehwag play sachin will open the innings with dravid ok pathan is right because his av is 44.67 in 3rd position.

3)micheal vaughan should be a captian once again because ashes is very close and strauss not having a idea of how to captian against australia not only strauss flintoff is also not having any idea

4)nathan bracken should allow to play regularly for his country because he is a young great bowlet and he is now no 1 bowler in the world.

1 > No he shdn't, this s not the thing dat He can Play at dat Place, this s the Thing Dat who was Playing AND Who is Best Suitable to Play and He's Sehwag Or Sourav Or Sachin.

2 >No Irfan Plays Good at Needy Time Just Below Dhoni.....he shd come after Mahendra Singhat no. 7 whn India Needs batting Late.

3 > Yes IF and ONLY IFF M vaughn' doesn't Retur....... As this Is only the Best Choice For England Team As Flintoof also hav Givn Great Result as M Vaughn.....

4 > N Bracken......R P Singh WAAAAAS He will Never BE.

IDravid took a very bold decision of batting first on a lively pitch.Traditionally SSC helps the pace bowlers intially as it has bounce and carry and its not slow like the rest of the srilanka grounds.The main aim of the openers is to see off the new ball and put in a good partnership.The ball was moving quite a bit and opting to bat dravid as usual lead by example.It needs a batsmen with better technique to counter the seam and swing.Who better than dravid?Shewag's technique is limited,Yuvaraj is vulnerable during early phase,Kaif is just out of form.I definitely feel dravid should open.You are just going by statistics and that too of 19 balls which is definitely unfair and cricket is not played by mere statistics alone.The state of the pitch and the condition should also be considered.Who knows dravid might have opened up after 5 overs.Anything is possible.Remember India is just trying out various options and combinations ahead of the ICC chamions trophy and World cup.

(2) Regarding pathan's promotion to no 3 position is team management's decision.Cricket is all about confidence and believing in your ability.Its mind over matter.At present its better that Pathan concentrates on his bowling rather than his batting,because he is our strike bowler and you just see your statistics that he gets the initial breakthrough for India and that has made lot of difference.So let him get back his confidence in bowling and that will in turn boost his confidence in batting.Pathan as a bowler is more is more required for India in the intial overs which can decide the fate of the match.

(3) Think Strauss is doing a better job than Flintoff.It will be asking too much of Flintoff to lead apart from contributing in batting and bowling.You have to think a lot and if he is going to always be busy in batting and bowling then burden will always be on him.captaincy will takes its toll on flintoff and he will not be able to concentrate.While Strauss is a batsmen. he has ample time to think and form a strategy. Flintoff is better off without the pressure of captaincy and is best when he takes the attack to the rival's camp.

(4)All the players are very young and they have the ability to play for a long time and serve their country.Its the worry of the other other nation's selectors and r.p.singh must be given time to settle down as he has the potential to be india's match winning bowler.

it truly is going to be not user-friendly to fill the great void left via Rahul Dravid.he's not only a staggering batsman technically yet he also has a staggering temperament and ice cool head less than puzzling situations.He by no ability cracks less than pressure it truly is between the unique characteristics he had over his renowned colleagues.it would want to hard for Indian crew to stumble on a alternative for him,V Kohli is different type of cricketer,his attempt cricket nevertheless has far to flow and he should be scoring continually in attempt suits.even if one participant that contains my concepts is Chetashwar Pujara.He appeared solid even as he performed against SA pacers interior the attempt experience and he also has a really solid technique yet harm derailed his progression.i'm hoping in this 'A' excursion we receives to work out some solid batting opportunities which also includes gamers like pujara,sharma etc who can seize the eyes of selectors in the experience that they play properly.

No! Dravid should come at 1 down, Sachin at 2 down. Sehwag should open with either Dhoni or someone new. Dravid and Sachin adds more strength to the middle order.

1. No, I will always say that in one-dayers Sachin-Sewag or Sewag-Gambhir should open. Dravid is always doing these things in his favor and do not let Sachin-Sewag or Sewag-Gambhir to open the innings as they are good in opening.

2. Yes it could help him as he has still not lost his form. He can come back with some good scores. He is not a bad player. He has helped India with good score and with precious wickets.

3. No. Because Strauss is good than Flintoff and he will handle it.

4. Sorry, I have not seen the matchesof a,b, and d. Yes,R.P Singh should play for the nation.

1>no,rahul shud not open that's not bcoz of his strike rate he can alter it any time(don't remember that 1st odi in west indies whan he made 105 in 102 ball??) bt my reason is that in oneday we need a terrific start which can be provided by stroke makers like sach & veeru.rahul can stick to no.3 and act as "the wall" is the opening pair flops.

2>no,he's a bowler and strugging at the moment so we shud see that he concentrates on his bowling.we can't losse a gud bowler for a flop all-rounder.i don't say he can't bat bt give him some time to mature and be gud all-rounder as well.

3>ya he's a gud captain and leads from the front

4>rp singh had a gud show in pak.

Hello

1. y all r bothering about dravid opening an inning... ??? As far as he is scoring and getting gud time while batting he can play at any number... if at opening he is doing well then no problem at all... sehwag is not doing well so someone has to come up and our captain takes this responsibility and doing very well...

Look at record of rahul as opener:

Match: 17 Inn:17 NO1 Runs715 HIgh.105 Avg.44.68 100:1 50: 7

44.68 as opener is not at all bad...

and very strange logic that u r making this conclusion on bas eof one innining of match which lasts for just 4 overs... very strange... how can u conclude frm just 19 balls that he is not gud at opening....

As far as he is scoring at this position no problem at all....

2. Irfan pathan should concentrate to his bowling as i feel that he is over dipressed by team management without any reason... so he shud prove his ability in bowling and then think again abt batting at no 3... otherwise he is gud at 7-8....

3. Flintoff should take over as captain coz strauss is not showing sign of gud captaincy... u may again conclude frm 2 wins in test matches that how can he b bad captain... but if u hav watched eng-srilanka one dayers then u must know he is such a confused that he cant decide who is best bowler to bowl at a particular time....

4. its not the question of matter... who soever will perform will surely play for his nation....

yes he should open coz no other player is as experienced as him forget about th strike rate & now 2 question yes i think if irfan comes at 3 position he will gain confidence & now 3 question yes fred will be the captain coz he is more experienced than any other player & now 4 n bracken aus coz he is a good player so he should be playing is that enough or u want more answers .
