The Dark Horse Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Has happened with Dhoni. IIRC, the first match Ashwin played for CSK, he neither batter nor bowled. Now Washington Sundar is being treated as a pure spinner. Kohli sending Woakes/Negi ahead of him The worst thing is such captains will be hailed for having an eye for talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Drive Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Some matches are fixed. 1.No way Jaddu is better batsman than Bravo , at least in T20. 2. An experienced cricketer like Virat does not allows Rohit to settle when MI are struggling 0/2 with the bowlers he likes to feed upon. 3. Some of the dropped catches are really suspicious. Too simple to be dropped. 4. The blatant edge of Hardik Pandya given as not out. 5. The clear no-ball benefits that CSK got against SRH. Some of the strategies are used to get bets (totals and wins) right for bookies. Sreesanth, Chandila and Ankit are not the only three cricketers involved in match fixing. OInly RR and CSK are not the franchisees which were involved in rigging totals for management. The racket was probably protected by banning only few players and two franchisees. But this is entertainment so forget it, enjoy the sixers, fours , wickets and catches without taking results seriously.

A current/potential Indian captain should keep an eye for talent for the team's good. Not to mention confusing players and formats.

rkt.india Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Not just captains, most posters here think Sundar is a bowler. He is at best a parttimer who had his time last year on slowish Pune pitches. Sundar has no real skills to be a frontline bowler. RCB have picked too many inexperienced fast bowlers too. Khejroliya, Siraj, Saini, Aniket. They are fine talents, but T20 is a cruel format for fast bowlers. Apart from Khejroliya hwo has good short ball and slower balls, everyone else lack skills that are required in T20 cricket. Look at even the best likes of Bumrah are getting thrashed. What chance these guys have. Singh bling, The Dark Horse, philcric and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
