Subsequently under Kohli's captaincy, We just received the test mace for 2nd year running and massacred the previously ranked no.1 ODI side in the world in their own backyard. Maybe the acumen requires a bit more refinement? Link to comment

Gollum Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Mediocre, but will play ahead of Shami in the next WC only because of discrimination against certain regions when it comes to national selection. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

Last WC was under a different regime. I didn't follow the SA ODI series very closely but don't think he played a single match, did he? Is he that bad a white ball bowler that he can't figure in the starting XI even once in 6 matches? Link to comment

Even Shardul only played one ODI. This team management does not make too many changes in ODI squad. Link to comment

vishalvirsingh Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 shammi and Umesh are definitely more talented then Shardul thakur as fast bowlers but Shammi has fitness and run up issues and Umesh has leg side bowling issue's. Shardul is definitely behind many genuine fast bowlers but its not always TAlent that wins the war. i have seen him applying his mind like BHUVI and bowling variety...to beat unadkat and play ahead of him in t20's indicate he is improving fast. after bhuvi and bumrah he is the pacer who is being played , that indicates that he must be special. i would like to believe that his stamina issue's must be sorted now. lets see how he does, my prediction is he should do well. i feel even Siraj will do well, he did not do well in first t20's as he shud be played in odi/tests but he is being played in t20's, i think he will do well. i feel unadkat could also fool some weak batsman with his cutters and then make a name for himself in the nidhass trophy.

vishalvirsingh Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 try and see the figures of Shardul ..statistics dont lie , though i dont agree to statistics but ultimately its the STATS that are only visible as soon as the game ends, after that who ever has better stats is said to have bowled better. even umesh went for lots of runs but he started picking wickets so kohli realised that he should back Umesh and thats how Umesh could make a little name for himself, finally wicket stats supported umesh to remain in team otherwise bhuvi's ,ishant's would have thrown him out...taking wickets is important.

The Realist Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 An unflattering hybrid of Kulkarni and Mohit Sharma. Nothing to get excited about. vishalvirsingh and SK_IH 1 1 Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Another addition to the long list of world class player (per icf poster) warming bench becuase of bias till they actually see him bat or bowl. Now that he has been selected give him a longer rope to prove himself. Till now its a mixed bag. Link to comment
