According to you a guy who got 3 200s and 2 t20 100s is an average player but Pandya who has done jack is the best thing since slice bread

didnt i just call him team 2nd best batsman many times in recent past .....are u sharing the same low quality **** that he is smoking that u cant understand the diff between 2nd best n avg . 

 

In odi n t20 he aint avg - he is unbeatable on his days but he has limitation but the modern cricket doesnt test that on most days ....

In test - he is not meant for that version

Fair enough about Rohit

Thakur is more suited to tests due to his outswingers but i have doubts about stamina. He picked up 3-4 wickets in the warmup against SA two years back. All top order bata.

Remember the kind of abuse Vinay Kumar got here. This guy  is and looks like him and is of the Mohit Sharma kind. Dibbly Dobbly pace, No wonder Bhuvi gets  chosen back so many times in ODIs.

Goes for runs but got wickets. Thats what matters. Need to see the type of wickets he gets... Is he creating chances?

 

also shami didnt get 1 game at all, shocking.

Pandya has not failed. Or maybe we are watching different sports

We clearly are watching something different.

H Kapil Dev Pandya Batting 8.66 ave Bowling 0.66 wkts/game. Reincarnation of Beefy.

Thakur 1 game same 4 wkts.

Would the team not be better off by playing a professional bowler or batsman rather than someone who is half bass in everything.

We clearly are watching different stuff.

Have you seen how he got those 4 wickets...

Doesn't give me too much confidence....

For me Iyer + Thakur  = Pandya  :) .... just kidding... All the 3 are mediacore

If you play a bowler, you are a batsman short and you will have no hitter in the team. If you play a batsman, you will only have four bowlers. Pandya is the best option at this point at 7. We had jaddu and Axar at 7 who have combined played just one match winning innings. Jaddu has also been an average ODI bowler too.

Poor Fans, now your cupboard is full so crying out loud for blood, back in the days of Piny kumar and Ashok Linda, Shardul Thakur would have been reckoned as gold and the next best thing in the world by the same fans.

[NameGoesHere]

Well, it's a positive sign that we are no longer satisfied with 'seems ok' in our pace bowling attack but want new bowlers to show an edge, or the obvious potential to blow away the opposition. 

 

Higher standards is always a good thing.

With Pandya you neither have a batsman nor a bowler.

all he needs to bowl 7 overs or so per match in a reasonably tidy manner and pick up a wkt. with the bat, avg around 30 with a 100+ SR is enough. he meets all these criteria. he does not need to be a "genuine" allrounder.

He makes 8 runs and picks 2/3 of a wkt. Even based on your criteria he does not hack it.

mumbai lobby ;).. after many years I am seeing 5 of playing-x1 are from mumbai

i meant across his career. are you claiming his career avg is 8? plenty of batsmen have avg 8 in an odi series/even a test series. he was a big let-down with the bat but he needs another series of poor form before being dropped.

I think six games at a stretch are enough. Someone else needs to step up.

Reminds me of mohit Sharma and that is not a good thing 

Mohit did alright last world cup except semis but then semis everyone got hammered. 

 

On topic, after watching recent U19 WC it was surprising to see bowlers from most top nations bowling between 83-89mph, few deliveries was even around 91 mph however more surprising part was that batsman from top teams werent uncomfortable facing such pace (I would love to see how Virat would have faced a bret lee or akhtar at their peak ). Unless you bowl 100mph i dont think sheet pace is going to get you wickets, it will be bhuvi / philander type of bowlers. 

 

Why have the two spinner successful cause they are actual spinner no darts like bhaji or jaddu. 

 

I also want to see these SA batsman face dhanajaya, he is going to run through them.

mostly a case of TINA. other spin-bowling allrounders are equally toothless with the ball and can't score fast enough. as for pace allrounders, options include stuart binny and rishi dhawan. only real possibility is shankar, but his bowling is crap.
