zen Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) BOWLING O M R W ECON WD NB I Sharma 19 3 88 1 4.63 0 0 Mohammed Shami 19 4 74 3 3.89 0 1 Kuldeep Yadav 9 1 44 0 4.88 0 0 HH Pandya 17 0 66 2 3.88 1 0 R Ashwin 17 1 68 0 4.00 0 0 3 of the 4 specialist bowlers had a bad day AR, Pandya, raised his game. Shami and Pandya were the best bowlers today Would India have benefitted from playing another seamer - Yadav or Shardul, in place of one of the two spinners? In the overall scheme of things, I do not think that it would have made a dramatic difference considering how hot or cold the bowlers tend to be. The 3rd seamer could have bowled worse than Ishant. Someone like Bhuvi or Bumrah may have made a positive impact though in partnership with Shami and Pandya As for Kuldeep, it would be a great learning experience for him. I do not have huge confidence in Ashwin and Jadeja to be spinners who can perform in most conditions on a consistent basis. Kuldeep can be developed as a spinner for most conditions. Shane Warne was carted in his first test too. As long as Kuldeep learns from the experience, it is ok However, the performance shows the need to pick the 5 best batsmen + 4 best bowlers + best WK option. These slots have to be optimized based on conditions and form Edited August 11, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay, diehardpacer and Mosher 1 2 Link to comment

zen Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Considering the inconsistency of many of our players in overseas conditions, one option is to drop the one who performs so the guy who had a bad game can be hot in the next game and so on diehardpacer, UrmiSinhaRay and asterix 2 1 Link to comment

chewy Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Nothing complicated Disasterous day with ball, conceding 4.4 too, criminal These morons get paid lakhs on per game basis but continue to make amateur decisions tinker with bowling after bowlers put an excellent performance in 1st Test so to make up for batsmen shortcomings, Kohli and Shastri bring in mystery spinner Kuldeep, so they can bowl out England (play two spinners in overcast conditions at Lords ) even more cheaply than 1st Test so less load on the pathetic batsmen once again you couldn’t make it up with these retards picking players based on cliche tactics (oh England can’t play spin, oh we need Ishant for height) even Sky commies were laughing at India picking 2 spinners when all know of weather conditions for next 4 days speedheat and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
zen Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Apart from Pujara, the specialist batsmen - Vijay, Rahul, Ranahe and Kohli, have let Ind down. Karthik should not have been in the 11 ahead of Pant anyways Link to comment
