ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Cheema02]

Imad wasim is outstanding player especially in batting performance they played good inning for Pakistan and win matches but Pakistan cricket borad ignore him a lot of time that why he is disappointed from PCB behavior and decided to retire from international cricket. I think its not a good decision for Pakistan team beacuse they need him in 2024 T20 world cup. But the behaviour of Imad is also responsible for not selected in team they didn't not play domestic cricket from a while. I hear a news that PCB calls to Muhammad Amir and Imad wasim to take retirement back because both players need in team.

Take example of Sarfraz for instance, he was removed from captaincy and later dropped from squad but he never spoke against that on any forum. Rather Sarfraz went back and started playing  in domestic. That's main reason why he is recalled in test squad. Any cricketer who want to play for team must not go to TV shows and criticise the board. Imad was a good player but his retirement won't affect Pakistan T20 team.

Right, this is bad behaviour for any player to go on news channel and criticise Pakistan players and not playing domestic cricket. Sarfraz Ahmad is senior player he will working on his fitness and improving his performance that why he is selected in Text series against Australia. Sarfraz ahmad is world class player he win champion trophy for Pakistan but he was dropped in ODI squad that is bad decision of Pakistan cricket borad. Pakistan team has also good spinner like Muhammad Nawaz and Shadab khan that why imad wasim retirements will not affect Pakistan team.

Safraz knows he has very little time left for his international cricket career, he is already 36 and can play for 2 to 3 years for national side. He will be part of test squad in upcoming test series against Australia. PCB did all he can for Muhammad Amir but in return his behavior was childish. Not many in country like him and don't want him to be part of upcoming PSL. Imad wasim is struggling to get NOC from PCB for his participation in T20/T10 leagues.

Only one week time is allotted for the Indian team to travel to South Africa and get acclimatized. After the three match T20I series, they will be playing a 3-match ODI series against South Africa. It will be interesting to see who will be included in the squad. There are rumors that KL Rahul will be named as the captain and senior players such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be rested for this series. I find it regressive. Why stick with KL Rahul again and again? I would have rather preferred someone like Shreyas Iyer as the captain this time.  

op I agree with you. I think Shreyas Iyer would have been better for the team than K Rahul as captain against South Africa. 2023 World Cup South Africa we have seen some great bowling and the batsmen have batted brilliantly. The 2023 World Cup has played very well for India. But since the T20 series and ODIs are to be played in South Africa, the weather is also different. It remains to be seen how the Indian players will adapt there. The T20 series between India and South Africa will be a great one. In advance, I can't say whether I will put India ahead or South Africa ahead. But it will be played in South Africa's ground, of course South Africa will try to play well. We wait to see which team does well.

Why KL because he is supposed to be the vice capatain for T20 world cup so possibly he could have the leading ability and I am not sure whether Iyer will get a spot for T20 XI which is supposed to happen in June next year.

By the way Hardik was supposed to lead these matches because of his injusry SKY and KL is getting their chances.

Ahead of the upcoming IPL, the names of 173 players including 10 franchises have already been announced. So in view of the upcoming IPL, the Indian players may not be going to the South Africa tour, especially the old players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. There is no other reason than that Rohit Sharma needs some rest after the upcoming IPL and the recently concluded ODI World Cup. That is why old players are not seen in foreign tours and currently in T20 series.

Therefore, in the T20 series against Australia, the players who played in the World Cup are not seen in the Indian team. Going on a tour to another country right after the World Cup will definitely cause fatigue for these players. One reason could be to give the senior players a chance to rest and the other reason is that India is not short of star players, India has a lot of talent so they always have replacement players ready.

Therefore, even in the absence of senior players against Australia, India has defeated Australia in the first two T20 matches. Seeing the popularity of IPL, all the players want to participate in IPL and show their best performance, but I think it is better to play for the country than to play for yourself, so Indian Senior players must join foreign tours.

I think if Pandaya is fit and available for the white ball series (T-20 +ODI) then he'll surely lead the team in T-20, then there is a possibility of him leading in the ODI as well. Fitness is a big issue for Iyer, The dude has a habit of picking injuries out of nowhere so he's a risky bet.

I am not sure about ODI leadership but I don't want to see Rahul becoming the captain of the T-20 and Test team. In fact, selectors should keep him away from the T-20 setup.

No doubt world Cup Match has alot pressure then expectations and fatigue too and I think It will be better idea for any team to follow by giving rest to one of thier classical and main player and allow some new young guy and get experience show thier talent, ability and get much for confidence, like we have seen Paksitani team has alot of injuries and especially at big stage they mustly lose one of thier main player like they lose Shaheen in previous world cup and now Naseem in recent so the point is you will face consequences of you bad management decisions. Now indian young guys has to show thier strength in order to get more international chances and some kind of handsome amount contract from his country franchise based league

As  before when Sarfaraz Ahmed was the captain in the ODI he was a better captain and regarding it he also bats well. We have seen in the Captaincy of Sarfaraz Ahmed Pakistan has also won many matches. But at some clashes with the PCB he didn't play the cricket for the Pakistan Cricket Team. Although the batting of Sarfaraz Ahmed was also good and he has the ability now to play good shots and also he can hits sixes all over the boundaries.

While I think that Muhammad Amir is still the better bowler of the World and I can say he is present still in the World best bowlers but the way he behaves against the PCB is out of mind and we all wants to see him as back in the Cricket but he have to change his behavior a little but. Because the way he behaves now, no onw really should accept him at this stage.

Even Hardick is not injury-free. Anyway I don't have an issue with Hardick as the captain, as he is still young and has 6-7 years of prime cricket with him. Test team, IMO should be still under the control of Rohit Sharma. In fact I would say that oldies such as Virat and Rohit should rather concentrate on the longer format, and leave the shorter format to younger players such as Hardick, Shreyas, Rituraj and Shubman. Anyway, the series is just a few days away and the selectors will make the team selection announcement within the next 2-3 days.

Sarfraz ahmad is only play test series against Australia they didn't have chance to come back in ODI team beacuse Muhammad Rizwan is playing well. Muhammad Amir is amazing fast bowlers of Pakistan he win many match with his bowling performance but his behaviour is very disappointing Pakistan cricket borad. If PCB asked Muhammad Amir and Imad wasim to take your retirements back they will change their behaviour and performance well to stay in team. Image if Muhammad amir in Pakistan team along with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah best bowling attach in the world.

The ODI format is not important atm so it hardly matters who is the skipper or core team or who is resting or not, in the context of the 2025 Champions trophy so they could do all the experiments. T-20 WC is coming soon so that should be a priority along with Test Championship so every test series is important.

People are talking about Gill regarding captaincy but IMO he has a lot to prove and is yet to start his captain's journey, he hardly captained in the domestic as well so for now not experienced enough in this role. Rituraj is a new guy in the system so not a strong contender. Hardik, Shreyas and unfortunately Rahul are the big boys after Rohit-Kohli.

I believe the roster is ready, they are just waiting for a release date and not expecting big surprises, except KL featuring in the Test team as a WK batsman.

Well, we are neglecting the women's cricket in Pakistan and only focusing on the Men's cricket. Women teams if get proper infrastructure can develop into much better teams for our country.

Today was the match of Pakistan women's vs New Zealand women's. That was a tour match so of course 15 players playing this match of both teams. Pakistan women's won the match by 57 runs against New Zealand's 15 women's.

Pakistan didn't do a great batting, no one from the Pakistan team crossed at least 40 runs. Everyone lost their wicket before 40 runs. That was the 50 overs match and the most interesting thing is that didn't see any six in that match from either team. That was the match without six. New Zealand one player Abigale Gerken made 42 runs but with no six. She made 42 runs by running and hit 6 fours.

Some of India's best batsmen have been rested after the 2023 World Cup finals. Important batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been rested. Surya Kumar Yadav captained some of India's young players for the five-match T20I series against Australia. India's young players are batting brilliantly against Australia. The team is winning with great batting. It looks like India is not short of batsmen. India has enough good players. India team is undoubtedly a strong team. This team will do much better in the future.

Most cricket teams rest their key players after the World Cup, and I think rest is necessary for some time. If you look at the cricket schedule of all the teams, their schedule is quite busy, due to which they often get less opportunity to rest. India doesn't have a dearth of good players, as the talent in India has emerged right from the time the IPL started being held in India.

When there is a big sporting event in any country, the interest of the new generation in the sport increases. there fore cricket in India too has developed a lot in the last few years. There was a time when a key Indian player was injured, it was difficult to find a replacement. I think all this new talent is a product of IPL.

The Indian team again playing well in the T20 matches and they are a little aggressive towards the Australian team and the reason is clear. If we looked at history the Australian team won more matches than India but now India is counter-attacking Australia.  Yeah, you are right in the T20 team none of the senior players are seen and the best thing is that the new players defeated the Australian team 2 times in this T20 match. The Indian team took revenge in the recent World Cup because of the shameful defeat and they have not forgotten that defeat yet.  The Indian team is again stronger in T20 but looking at the previous world up it will be difficult to say that they will win this World Cup.

T20 is a very short game where you don't get much time so India announced new team against Australia and surely it is a right decision. In T20, experienced cricketers will definitely take some time to come to the wicket and spend more balls to make runs but young cricketers are an exception. The target for all the young cricketers currently in the India team is to bat at a 200 plus strike rate. India may not be worrying about the batsmen in this T20 series but they are definitely worrying about the bowling as other than two to one bowlers are not bowling very well.  

SKY could do with a bit more improvement in his captaincy as we have noticed several weaknesses in his captaincy and some poor decisions in decision making which have gone against him.

Yes they play very well and work hard and struggle in all matches. Yes you are right because they work hard in all the matches due to which they get very tired.
 Yes, because one match schedule ends, another schedule comes out due to which they cannot get rest.Yes, Virat Kholi, RK Rahul, Rohit Sharma, there are players who have made India proud.

All the players from all the countries we have seen those countries that are qualified were played amazingly. Specially the struggle of South Africa we have seen was amazing and the Team Afghanistan is stepping forwards towards their  better play and that is the reason they are have some good players now. And also if we talk about the Finalist Indian team also played well regarding to their players they hits most sixes as Rohit Sharma is an example for the World.

And finally the winner of the World Cup Australia was too good on their final day at India, but may be they have new players now in the t20 series against India that's why they lost some matches against them.

Yes it was a very happy day for the Australian team and a bad day for the Indian team. Because Australia was won the ICC world cup and India lose the match. Australia team lose first match but later they try and struggle then win all matches.South Africa batsmen could not try and struggle in the match and India won the match because the Indian batsmen and bowlers were trying.In the 2023 ICC World Cup Rohit Sharma played very well in all the matches.  His performance was different from all the batsmen.

Both the teams are resting their main players from the ongoing T20 series and for India Suryakumar Yadav is the only member in this team who played the World Cup while Australia retained a few players and it is a really unpredictable series as i was surprised India was able to win the first two matches even with their new players and the third match Australia was able to win on the back of another performance by Maxwell .
