gakgupta Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have seen some wonderful pace bowlers playing in our domestic setup. Yet I see takur playing for India.At best he looks like poor man's bhuvaneshwar Kumar...He really is next best in the line up??

kosingh Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Pretty much the kind of bowler India has been producing for years and years. But I agree, we have upgrades from this now, so I am surprised to see Thakur Temujin Khaghan 1 Link to comment
kira Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wasn't thakur hyped up on this forum? Rasgulla, Rightarmfast and OpeningBatsman 1 1 1 Link to comment
putrevus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 No offence to this guy but he is never going to be a long term prospect, don't know what heck they were thinking. adi B 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If you can give infinite opportunities to a tried and true failure line Pandya there is no downside to trying Thakur. Link to comment

Temujin Khaghan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Vinay kumar, mohit Sharma range bowler... Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 maybe they are playing him because we will beg for bhuvi to be brought back when this guy fails as expected of him... Link to comment
MCcricket Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Shardul Thakur is mediocre but gets wkts in domestics, he is the kind who will do well in dlmestics but doesnt have the class for international cricket, he got wkts today but werent for good bowling. He is very short bowls around 137 his ave pace, can move the ball but thats it, like Dhawal n Mohit just limited bowler, India has to look at Thampi, Sangwan, Khalil, Saini , Aniket as bowlers who jave potential. Pandya looks far better then Thakur also pacier n he doesnt bring anything to the table, even Nagarkotti n Mavi currently are far better then Thakur. Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) It's his first ODI abroad, he's tense and trying to bowl extra quick. When fast bowlers try too hard, their bodies tense up and can't bowl quick. If he gets a longer run, we'll be able to examine his true worth. Has potential.

Cricketics Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 He deserves his chance. He has been like this and has off days but if given peoper chance he might succeed and improve. We need to anyways widen our pool of bowlers instead of just relying on Bumrah and Bhuvi or Shami everytime and that also means giving chance to youngsters including guys like Thakur who might not be as young as other ones around but can still do the job a lot of times. No harm in giving them few games so they can be picked down the line if we are in need of bowlers in emergency. ODI cricket series allows us luxury to give chance to numerous bowlers, so let these guys get their chance. Rightarmfast and Mosher 2 Link to comment
renjith Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) our selectors use some kind of delayed queue algorithm. thakur was in the reckoning 1-2 year back and he should have debuted then. likes of saini, khejrolia, khaleel, lalit yadhav, deepak chahar were not in the picture that time around. following this mechanism, saini and khaleel will debut in 2020 when they will be horribly out of form and when nagarkoti and mavi will be giving excellent performance in domestics.

Number Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yes an average bowler in Mohanty PK Vinay Kumar mould but has done well in A team I think so deserves his chance. Link to comment

But he is IMO not the kind of future pacer we should be looking at when we have better options to try. Link to comment
maniac Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Getting wickets so that’s what matters but yes not a long term solution...very average but you never know if he has a habit of picking up wickets even being expensive,we can afford him as we have Bumrah and the spinners Link to comment
