Yeah just couldn’t figure out what the difference was between them allThe BCCI have plenty of sponsors behind them, they have to squeeze quite a few awards in there.
Its taken a while but we are starting to select the right side. 2 spinners is a must for ODI’s.
To be fair, what you think is right and wrong changes with the wind.
***Disclaimer: comment was made in Ashes thread. Should still be relevant to the ODI squad IMO.The 4 quicks can do the job. I’m a fan of picking your best bowlers period, if one isn’t a spinner then use your 4 quicks and just make sure you hustle between overs as to not get the over rate out of hand. Bowl your most dangerous bowlers. Not sure why we need a second spinner when they are all poor to below poor.
Kholi hiding in the rooms?
I worry a bit about his length in limited overs but I do like him very much. Genuine quick. I don't care what the speedo says for him he bends his back gets good bounce at times and genuinely hurries the batsmen.
You mean like this?

I hope we'll play to our strengths and not go with the flow just because other teams might consider playing 2 spinners. We barely have 1 high quality ODI spinner so why would we play 2? We have a deep pace attack that could do plenty in England.
There's a difference between test matches and ODI's. In ODI's you can get away with an average-ish spinner and they can do a job. We have 1 high quality ODI spinner in Zampa and Lyon is getting better in ODI cricket. I'd play two spinners, with two quicks (Cummins and Starc) + the AR (either MMarsh or Stoinis) and you have Maxwell to bowl a few if need be.
We don't have a TEST QUALITY second spinner, that was my point (and still is). I wouldn't take a reserve to Lyon as there is no point, none are going to be successful, especially if O'Keefe is still on the outer. I'd be using Head and Laubausghne as so called second spinners personally if need be.
Watch when we lose out first game in the UAE he will want to drop at least 3 or 4 players.To be fair, what you think is right and wrong changes with the wind.
Lyon in the WC squad is a joke, just play Zampa + you have Head/Maxwell, etc as part timers.
