G_B_ Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I notice MSD being slow is (rightly) the focus of most fans ire. But what about our pace bowlers? The first 10 England have always got a flier. Why isnt this also a topic of focus? UrmiSinhaRay, Rasgulla and Laaloo 1 1 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Laaloo Posted July 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2018 Because they are backup and probably won't get a game in the next WC. So people are keeping things in perspective. As for dhoni, well everything is being done to make sure we don't have any backup wk who threatens thalaivas place.... express bowling, Rasgulla, mancalledsting and 18 others 1 4 2 13 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Everyone knew Bumrah's the best & Bhuvi had a back problem, that's why. A good limited overs bowling pair is a good thing to have given our past and a good backup pair isn't something we expected. UrmiSinhaRay and speedheat 2 Link to comment

R!TTER Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) I feel the strategy India's employing for the first 10 overs is to restrict the opposition, which is idiotic. Umesh got the ball to swing decently in the first ODI, there was just that 1 slip, in England Then Chahal came in exactly after 8 overs in both ODI, so did Kuldeep after 10 overs, I feel Dhoni is also influencing this i.e. his safety first approach. Why on earth are we playing Dinda x Vinay Kumar = Siddhartha Kaul anyway, he's a below average trundler & nothing else?

UrmiSinhaRay Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No big Dhoni fan, but that's because a lot of people don't like him. Even Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina played like **** , but all blame went to Mahi. Most people are fair-weather fans - they want Pant in because he's the sexy choice. But what they fail to understand is that Our players are not robots- they can't necessarily win all the matches. It is true Dhoni is past his prime-but have we got better alternatives? Sure, DK Is supposedly the better batsman right now-but he is a worse keeper than Dhoni plus Kohli trusts Dhoni for brainy stuff.It is easy to blame batsmen for their follies- because they are the ones who are being Proactive when chasing. Dhoni more because people are more influenced by Pant's recent IPL blitzkrieg.First it started with Pant not being included in the squad, and then people worked out that Dhoni is behind Pant's exclusion. He is not being blamed for his bad day- even Kohli went out for ducks in matches vs Ireland. People are using this opportunity to blame him for not including Pant.Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Vilander and Rasgulla 2 Link to comment

LORD_analyst Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 umesh in every match, has made english batsmen nick a ball in early, but was unlucky that it was either dropped or didn't carry . umesh became worse in death bowling as he struggled with full-tosses and bowling down-leg side....needs to improve in that aspect. sid kaul has looked pedestrian as no pace and no bounce as well....also struggled in death bowling.

Nikhil_cric Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Because considering the conditions and the batting lineup, our seamers, with their inherent limitations, kept their batters in check until the 46th over where they lost their heads and lengths. Death bowling was really poor but i've not seen swing on offer for more than 4 overs for either side. Even if does swing a fraction, their bats are simply coming forward and negating it. Better to bowl good length and stick to it. In England, SA/PAK/OZ/NZ/WI have all bowled here and they have all got smacked when the pitches were flat. They've held their own for the most part.

Pollack Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Why is nobody talking about our super **** new ball bowlers? Because they were expected to be super sh!T. On the other hand, why isn't Rohit criticised for his great batting display of 15(26) chasing 323. UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 1 Link to comment
