Look in..
India is in an advantageous position with home conditions, cool captain, behind the curtain coach, strongest ever batting line-up& useful part time spinners.. Fitness concerns with top three, death bowling, poor form of middle order remains concerns..
Key players will be Sachin, Shewag, Zaheer and Harbhajan..
Top three looks the best.. Yuvi can come good as an all-rounder.. Yousuf is emerging as a finisher.. There will be healthy competition between Harbhajan and Aswin.. Pace sphere head Zaheer will miss an opening partner in Sree.. Munaf can keep a decent line and length, and be one change bowler.. Praveen can swing both ways.. Nehra seems out of form.. Captain best in business, but bat seems silent..
Dig in..
Captain should be flexible in terms of final eleven and batting order.. Top order need to flex to ensure left-right combination.. We can use three pacers against sub continental teams, and offie duo of Harbhajan& Aswin against others.. Sachin, Kohli or Gambir can play anchor role, so that others can play their natural game..
Zaheer is expected to bring in early break threw, Harbhajan to pick wickets, Awin to handle power plays, Munaf and part time spinners to tie up middle overs, Nehra/Kumar to do death bowling.. Chawla can be used against teams packed with right handers, where our offie trap might fail..
Don’t allow game to drift at any stage.. Set plans for proven sub continental performers.. Time power plays well.. Deploy aggressive field for spinners.. Pacers should know their limitations and bowl according to field..
Recent times India have failed to perform in big stages.. To conclude, this is India’s best ever opportunity- legendary batting combination, arguably the best ever captain and home conditions..
TEAM INDIA- do it this time for the millions of true fans of cricket..
