Strategy against SL- Batting by Chandra SK on Mar 22, 2007 08:18 PM | Hide replies
My take is this. India can win tom if we do this
a. Come tom. to play with a psoitive body language (Definitely not the case against BD and Ber)
b. If win toss, get ready to bat (yes, even with swinging ball). MJ's track record on winning toss (Bats 90% of the times)....
c. Plan, prepare and have a flexible batting order. What does this mean?
- I suspect Uthappa may not be in for these kind of pitches (Just a sense, am not sure ), i would replace him with Dinesh (ya, I am not dropping VS, even though I hate him so much)
- Dinesh and SCG open the innings
- If the start is OK (4 rpo in 10 overs without loss of wickets), I will send MSD at 1 down
- If the start is not OK (losing one wicket quickly, I will send RD at 1 down)
- If things go solidly, I will continue with MSD followed by YS and then so on
- If things worsen in the first 15 overs, I will quickly change strategy. Instead of sending my main stream batsmen , I will send in Sreesanth (Risky, but instead of agarkar or AGarkar if RD retains him) and Zaheer after the loss of 3 quick wickets - mandate, try scoring 10 runs each in 3-4 overs each...no smashing around
- Apart from this- Here is my objective for each individual batsmen
- DK/ SCG- Target: 30 Runs each in 45 balls each (60 in 15 overs)
- MSD/ YS- 30 runs each in 30 balls each (60 in 10 overs)
-RD/SRT/VS- 30 runs each in 35 balls (90 in 18 overs)
- One of the above batsman then extends to score 75 in 85 balls.....
Net net score : 255 in 48 overs (approx)....Add another 20 in 2 overs...Total target 275.....

Its not like that. India has proven good chasers in the past. In my views, Indian bowlers too can't perform under preassure. So better, evaluate the strength. If 4 bowlers are there, chase is better. Isn't it
