We can say the same about Australia too. They haven't lost any match due to rain but I would say if the match today is called of or shortened today, it will be a great loss for Indian team. India will remain in 4th position but Pakistan will go up at 5th or 6th from its 9th position right now.

I think this tournament should get a new name  World Cup>>>> Rain Cup  

Indians are rain-dancing in India for rain here but Indians are reverse rain dancing in England.

Thankfully not much rain and we had almost a complete game. Vijay should improve his batting considerably, but since this was his first match in World cup that too against Pakistan, may be he was rusty and nervous.

The way Shankar & Hardik bowled to compensate Bhuvi was heartening to see.

Also the spinners should be coming to the party more often with each match passing by, as the pitch will wear out to assist spinners more.

Team India played well against Pakistan and Pakistan flopped in all fields. In absence of Dhwan Rahul play well and gave a good start to India. Bhuvi  sustained injury so he will not play in this tournament. I am hopping Sahmmi will play in next match. Next match is with Afganistan so it may be possible to give chance to Jadeja and Pant. 

I am disappointed for Bhuvi, he is one of our best bet in English conditions and he was doing a great job before he got hurt. I hope he recovers fast or we shall have to look for his alternative too.

I read in news paper that he can't play in tournament. In remaining match of this tournament Shammi will play is place of Bhuvi. In future Vijay Shankar may be good alternative of Bhuvi.

Bhuvi is out for a maximum of 3 games. Shami will replace him, in worst case scenario where Bhuvi is ruled out of the tournament, Khaleel will be the replacement. As of now Bhuvi is out for a maximum of 3 games.

It is good that Shami will get a chance against a side like Afghanistan in his first game. It will get him some time to get into his rythm.

I think Bhuvi bowled economically but was not able to take wickets as much as he is expected to. It is good that now Shami will get his chance and it will test the bench strength.

However I hope Bhuvi becomes fit as soon as possible as in an overcast condition he can prove to be useful, though he hasn't fired in such intensity as is expected from him.

Pant is just a back up player who is not travelling with the team yet as far as I know, but I think yes, bench strength can be tested against Afghanistan. Jadeja especially can be drafted into the playing eleven as he has fielded superbly when he came in as substitute any time and it tells that he is hungry to perform.

As far as I know, after Dhawan's injury the team management asked Pant to come to England immediately as a cover. At present Pant is with the team and practicing. However, I guess there's no urgent plan of drafting him in the playing XI. It all depends on the recovery time of Dhawan.

Yes I agree with you that Jadeja can find a place against Afghanistan. However, I am feeling curious, who do you think Jadeja should replace in the team ?

I have read in a news article that Pant is not yet travelling with the team, he is in England and practising but not with the team and the dressing room.

After the Pakistan Match, in an interview Kohli said that Bhuvi has suffered a hamstring niggle and he expects him to be fine soon within a few games.

Vijay Shankar can never be a good alternative for someone as classy as Bhuvi in the long run. Shankar although performed well against Pakistan, is still a bits and pieces back up bowler.

Yes the two injured player at this moment Dhawan and Bhuvi were really good and promising for this tournament. Kohli has mentioned that Bhuvi will be vack in 2-3 matches and we just hope that he is back soon. Same goes for Dhawan. He might play after resting for a couple of matches. He could be seen practicing with his fractured thumb with the team.

Two important players were injured but India have many players to replace them. It is not easy to select 2. Pant, Jadeja, Shammi, Khalil all are deserving candidates. But I wants to that Shammi must be give chance in next match with Afganistan. Afganistan is not a bad team so it is not good to take it a light team. It is good for team India if Bhuvi and Dhwan gets fits before semifinal.

I don't think Khaleel is good. I think he is just like Umesh who does not have the skill of line and length consistently.

Pant & Jadeja along with Shami can be tried against Afghanistan. Rashid has been in deplorable form for Afghanistan which is hurting them badly.

We can try some bench players against Afghanistan for sure, but also we should ensure that we keep our intensity intact and play hard to secure a big win like England secured.

It is only match in which we can try bench players. After it all 4 match are tough one. I am also wants that Hardik will hit sixes like batsman of England.

Khaleel Ahmed is not in contention. After the IPL, the Indian team management picked Navdeep Saini as the upcoming star of fast bowling. The fact that Saini is in RCB, he obviously has the backing of Virat Kohli. However, Saini's biggest plus is his extreme pace. And I have a feeling this is the main reason why the selectors have chosen someone like Saini as one of the standby players for this world cup and not Khaleel Ahmed.

Khaleel Ahmed, though only a net bowler can be drafted into the side because the ICC rules permit it. However, Saini is the proper standby player named by the Indian team.

I haven't seen Saini much, but if he has good control over ball then it is a good selection.

I thought that there were many U-19 fast bowling sensations from India when it won the recent world cup, could they have been given a chance?

Bowlers like Kamlesh Nagarkoti & Shivam Mavi were good in the 2018 U-19 triumph. Perhaps lack of international experience & their non participation in IPL due to injuries had sidelined them.

I don't think India can be as ruthless as England, may be with Virat at the helm this can change, but the pattern of Indian batting has always been like, sedate start in the opening 10, consolidation in the middle and a little acceleration in the last. India have not yet been a class like England which has all power hitters.

It would be wonderful to watch any such destruction happening by the Indian team against the minnows. Though the opposition is a minnow without much performance to its credit, I highly doubt the big win as of now. Let's see.

Today I read in news paper than Dhawan is not for remaining matches of this tournament. Pant will replace Dhwan. 

They have not decided to replace Bhuvi but Dhawan is leaving the team. As far Saini is concerned he is way better than Khalil. Khalil has speed but no control on his line and length.

I think shammi is better substitute of Bhuvi. He have experience of International matches.
