Sacrifice King ....bring back Hosein which will give us 7 bowling options cos undoubtedly bowling is not great so we need all resources possible against a powerful Indian batting.....a pinch hitter(preferably Forde) against a class act like Bumrah may not pay off but will still have plenty of batting if it doesn't!!
Time to GAMBLE so BEST SELECTION is......
Bowling is Hosein, Forde, Holder, Motie, Shamar...maybe Shep for one over to see how he does
@CCW
Not going to happen based on current strategy Forde will miss out as he’s not going to get swing in a night game. Chase will be used to target India’s left handers a strategy used successfully by other teams!!!
Personally I don’t think Chase will be as successful but I’m hoping he proves me wrong!!!
If Bumrah is supposed to be the best you expect Forde to be able to play him???
two changes!
1 Selection change: Hosein for Forde.
1 Procedural change: Send King out to the middle for the coin toss as the skipper is “Hopeless” in that regard.
@WIfan26
I maintain that we need ALL our bowling resources cos that is where our weakness is.....if we use Forde or whoever as a pinch hitter an Bumrah cleans up 1st ball would that be an almighty disaster??...are we still hoping/ expecting King to produce? ...what's not to like about having 7 bowling options???
@CCW
Fair enough but WI already have a dot ball problem having a lower order batter swinging and missing would kill us against India!!!
It’s too late in the game King didn’t do so bad today WI just have to hope he comes good on Sunday!!!
Using 7 bowlers imo shows you have no plan a sixth bowling option at times is necessary but if you need a seventh you might as well go home!!!
@WIfan26
what's wrong with having 7 bowling options which doesn't allow opposing batsmen to get too comfortable knowing that X or Y won't necessarily have to bowl their full allotment...yes it souns desperate but desperate times desperate measures an what's to lose if we send a pinch hitter an Bumrah cleans him up 1st ball?....in addition we have a captain dats not blessed with luck cos ideally we would prefer to chase cos batting is our strength an no team will decide to bat 1st against us but poor Shai cannot win a toss to save his life ....wonder how many he's won in say the last 20 at a guess i would say 6 if that...dey say sometimes it's better to be a lucky captain than a good one....well he's definitely not lucky!!!
