BCCI has announced their ODI team for Zimbabwe tour. They are again going with 2nd string team and keep testing their bench strength.
Kohli, Bumrah and Shami are taking long break. Rishab, Rohit and Chahal (wasn't necessary) are also rested. KL Rahul still not fit i suppose.
Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Chahar are finally back. Maiden call for Rahul Tripathi in the squad.

Against Zimbabwe, do they need players such as Shikhar Dhawan and Shardul Thakur? Anyway, another chance for Sanju Samson. This should be the last opportunity for him. He has failed at international level and if he can't perform this time as well, then other younger keepers such as Anju and Bharat should be given a chance instead. But good choice of Shikhar as the captain. I have always maintained that he is a much better captain when compared to the other choices such as Rishabh, Rohit and Rahul.

Well they need at least 1 senior player in the squad, hence Dhawan. Next Senior player is Kuldeep Yadav and rest of the squad is pretty new in ODI.

Don't know who is Anju but management looks at Bharat as another future test WK option. Management also trying hard to make Thakur allrounder in limited over cricket that's why he keeps finding place in the squad these days.

Scotland vs New Zealand

The first ODI match between Scotland and New Zealand is taking place. Scotland won the toss and decided to bat. At the end of 10 overs, their collection is 55/1. Against an experienced team like New Zealand, Scotland started well. If they don't lose wickets too quickly, they will be able to set a target of more than 280 today. However, Scotland's bowling line-up is very weak. I don't think they can win even if they give a target of more than 300.

However, the players of Scotland were able to start the innings quite well. But after losing the second wicket for 69 runs, they lost 5 of their key batsmen within 107 runs. Scotland collected only 110 runs in 26 overs. Their run rate is only 4.2. I guess Scotland's innings will end between 160/180. Before playing the series against top-tier teams, Scotland should host a series with teams like Zimbabwe and Netherlands. They need more improvement

If a player is not available, how can we count him as a part of the team? The same with players such as Pollard, Russell and Bravo as well. If these players were available for the series, then who knows. The outcome would have been different.

It all comes down to money at the end of the day. Their board is completely corrupt and insists on paying very little which is why so many world-class players like Narine etc decided to focus more on domestic leagues like the IPL when compared to their own international team.

Virat Kohli should have been given a chance in the series against Zimbabwe. He has been out of form for three long years.

This is such a bad idea. Everyone asked him to take a long break which is why the BCCI is honouring that. Kohli needs to learn from his recent mistakes in order to improve and move forward.

A very good selection from selectors because now it's good time for giving these youngsters chance against team like these West Indies, Zimbabwe and few others those are currently struggling with this all players those already having good success in IPL will gain more international experience which is going to help them for having good chance in next ODI world cup which is going to play in India.

Here they need to do some more work like fix few players for white ball cricket and test team could be also separated because this will cut some load of selectors and players, those will have just one format for giving their best.

Indian domestic is never been ideal which is surely having some trouble for player if they can bring changes there as well as surely it's going to be more good for them because domestic set up can bring more players like IPL for test format.

Zimbabwe is not that strong team and this series will be a one sided one. Two spinner and one medium pacers added to the squad, spinners can be effective as Zimbabwe doesn't have batters who are good against spinners. Good to know that Rahul Tripathi got a chance. India needs good all-rounder and his performance in this series might get him a permanent berth in the India A team.

That was one possible solution to get his form back but i guess BCCI hardly believe in this narrative for right and wrong reasons.

Virat Kohli would get far better practice if he starts featuring in Domestic matches because next 6 WTC tests are in subcontinent and ODI WC is also in India so no brainer imo. At least it would be a lot better playing against Zim.

Now talking about Virat Kohli is completely waste of time and energy because his personal ego is bigger than his career and game, so he is paying for this all but here I am feeling happy about this announcement because they are doing right job with their youths which are going to be good for their preparations for next World Cup giving rest to Sr Members and having good faith with youths will surely help them in coming day with these practices matches they are going to take some good experience.

Bringing back few top ranked players and mixing with youths are going to be good as right now Zimbabwe is also in good form, and they are enjoying much success after qualifying for T-20 World cup.

If he wants to return to form, he will have to be diligent. At the same time he has to perform in the match. Now if Virat Kohli is given a chance to practice in the domestic league matches to get back in form, then it might be good for Virat Kohli. I don't see any other way to return to form except by performing well in the match.

You forgot about Sunil Narine who is easily one of the best spinners and all-rounders these days. I primarily like the fact that he is always calm and stable no matter what.

Oh.. I didn't forgot about him. The fact is that he is not interested in playing for the national team. Sunil Narine last played test cricket for West Indies almost a decade ago. His last ODI match for West Indies was in 2016. Right now he is playing county cricket for Surrey in England. If a player is not available, how can we count him as a part of the team? The same with players such as Pollard, Russell and Bravo as well. If these players were available for the series, then who knows. The outcome would have been different.

Sunil Narine was a good all rounder in his early days. At the moment he is another cricket veteran who plays county cricket and league cricket to make his end meet. There was time when batters would hesitate to attack him as a bowler and bowlers would try to avoid those lose balls. He made his name at a very early stage but now he is just no one in my opinion. He is already 34 and is not that fit anymore considering other players of the same age. He was selected by KKR in 2012 and is still in the team. I some how believe that his days as a cricket player are outnumbered.

I still remember the IPL days of Sunil Narine. We always knew him as a bowler but in the T-20 format, he has proved that he is a capable all-rounder. And I can only imagine how he could give his services to his national team. But of course because of all the problems in the West Indies national team he did not play for long. He is a talented player and I am quite sure that a lot of other players like him also got lost through time. Once West Indies was a crate team and a force to be reckoned with. It is sad to see the situation they are in now.

Yes, I also remember the KKR days of Sunil Narine. The only spinner who knows how to spin the ball both ways without changing his bowling action. The batsmen had to guess where the ball would spin by looking at the line.

Now revival of West Indies cricket is just a dream because they are not near to have any positive fight back in near future their biggest concern is bowling department which is not bringing any quality bowler for them in last two decades after due of Walsh and Ambrose

It's not just that West Indian bowlers are facing the bad condition but their batting line-up is also fragile and becomes more vulnerable. Overall their current cricketing condition is not so good in all format. T20 World Cup cricket will be held after few months later but if they can't change the current situation they won't be able to go far in their T20 World Cup cricket. At this moment they have to perform well on both sites.

West Indies players performed well against relatively weaker teams. But they cannot play well against strong teams. Even though they played well against Bangladesh in the T20 format, their batting in the ODI format was terrible. West Indies will probably be eliminated from the first round in the next World Cup. In India vs West Indies match we see Indian dominance every match. Every match is one sided. India is winning very easily.

Though West Indies lost recent odi series against India but there performance was almost as good as India in first two ODIs. The lost lost first and second ODI by very close margin. Still they need to work hard to improve there performance with such performance they can't play with teams like Australia, Pakistan etc.

West Indies bowlers are a joke now. There used to be a time when Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh would terrorize the batsmen from opposing teams. Even the Australian legends such as Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist were afraid to face these two. Before that, they had legends such as Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding and Joel Garner. And look at the current bunch of West Indian pacers. They look so pathetic. It is a painful sight to watch them getting hammered around the park by second-string Indian players.

I agree. Ambrose and Walsh were legends back in those days while the only West Indian bowler who I prefer these days is Joseph. Roach was decent too, but he is very inconsistent these days. West Indian board should be held accountable.

Quote from: Sithara007 on July 29, 2022, 09:15:32 PM

Also, West Indies badly lacks a quality spinner. Spin was always a weak point for them, but now the situation is much worse than it used to be. Players such as Akeal Hosein and Fabian Allen doesn't have the ability to trouble batsmen at international level.

One thing that I have learnt over time is that West Indies should never be underestimated in the T-20 format no matter how badly they perform across other formats.

Right now having few average all-rounders and poor bowling attack giving them new setback in their defeats and at home they can do better in test against weak sides with still they are losing against quality teams.

I agree. Most of the players are "average" and not any better. Unfortunately for them, star players such as Darren Bravo, Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard are not interested in representing the national team anymore. So the selectors are forced to rely upon these inexperienced and average players. Also, West Indies badly lacks a quality spinner. Spin was always a weak point for them, but now the situation is much worse than it used to be. Players such as Akeal Hosein and Fabian Allen doesn't have the ability to trouble batsmen at international level.
