I think he meant the adidas logo posted in the previous post.

Yes sir. You are right. Kohli being Puma’s ambassador maybe 1 of the reasons. Contract conditions with Puma maybe the reason that other brands cannot use Kohli too much. If you look at the logo, the cricketers which are in logo, either they are part of Adidas or no longer part of competitive brands.

Re: The Cricket Thread

First glimpse of New Jersey unveiled, would be great if they launch without sponsor logo as well. They anyway will have to for upcoming World Cup.

Re: The Cricket Thread

The shoulder stripes are at odds with a cricketing jersey, especially for the whites. Some traditions need to be protected.

Agreed. They look weird on the test jersey. I was hoping they would put national flag colors as stripes for ODI/T20 jerseys. Instead of all white stripes maybe one saffron and another one in green.

Agreed, tri color would have given a nice touch. They could have had the adidas logo in front also in tricolor, maybe more designs will follow.

Sale starts from Sunday, will be definitely getting the blue one.

Re: The Cricket Thread

The WTC Final starts today, can't wait!

Will we play both Ashwin and Jadeja? Hope it's a close match with play on all 5 days!

With the amount of grass present on the pitch, no way two spinners will play.
I just hope India wins the toss and bats first.

Historically speaking, Oval has been favorable for spinners on day 4 and 5. So I guess 2 spinners will play. Had Kohli been the captain, we could have seen a combo of 4 pacers and 1 Spinner. Other captains have generally refrained from utilizing this combo. Although I would love to see 4 pacers fighting it out with Aussies. My favourite being Shardul Thakur, hope he gets to play somehow. Fingers Crossed.

Having said that, if there are 2 spinners, I would like to see Bharat. Else Ishan Kishan would be a spicy choice.

Brings more headache for Rohit Sharma/Team Management.

Re: The Cricket Thread

Who will replace Jadeja as batsman ? I think both Jadeja and Ashwin will play. Both are good in grinding out and especially Ashwin.
Hope to see a well contested match.

Re: The Cricket Thread

Team Management will still be vary of playing 2 spinners considering what happened in last WTC Final though rain is only forecast for Day 4 & 5! More than the pitch the fluctuating overhead conditions should sway the decision to play 4 seamers. Jadeja being the sole left-hander needs to bat at no.5.

Re: The Cricket Thread

Rohit
Gill
Puji
Kohli
Rahane
Jadeja
Ashwin
Bharat
Shami
Siraj
Umesh/Unadkat/Thakur

This should be the line up. Ashwin was our best bowler last WTC final and he is the one who troubles Smith and Marnus most plus he is great against lefties and Aussies will play 4 of them. No way he shouldn't be played.

Win or lose this will be a settled line up.
