What about removing batsman tag from our specialist 

 

I thought i was the one who thought like that  , till boria tweeted this n everyone noticed it and bashed him

 

 

 

Even here after a point this guy ask-

What has ur 5th bowler done in last game.....was he sleeping???? and in the end all of them want him dropped .....

 

Even if u take Videos from SA tour- it was all anti him.....they were jst waiting for him to fail post 93 and they jst wen bonkers

 

 

Now i dnt care what these bunch of jokers say, but what concerns me they have huge following n ppl who make opinon watching them and this is not good for any young cricketer . They have shamelessly promoted Kaul selection of siraj for long coz he is from north region as they all are .

Pandya does not deserve the all-rounder tag in Test cricket. Being mediocre in both departments of the game doesn't deserve that tag. Presently his fan following are simply dwelling in the failures of the rest rather than reasoning with what he really delivers on the field.

 

He presently hurts the balance off the side. I would still stick with 2 spinners and 3 'genuine' pacers. 

 

Albeit, none of this matters, Kohli likes Pandya and his swag. He'll play all 5 tests!

Not every all-rounder has a specialist primary and a decent secondary skill like sobers, kallis, Ashwin, Dev etc..

 

There are all-rounders like Flintoff, stokes, shakib, moeen who are decent at both and not world class in any of the skills.

 

Problem with pandya is that he is in the bottom tier of the second group. He is a Flintoff /stokes type decent at both player - but at the same time lots of work to be done in both his skills. 

 

Maybe people have agenda on him but his lack of urgency to cement his place in the team with crucial performances, is only giving his naysayers more power.

Yes, there is something seriously wrong.  Yeah, how they forgot his 3/66 easily.  He made more runs than other specialist batsmen. Important thing is Gupta wants 6th batsman in place of Pandya like 6th batsman has some magic wand, which other 5 don't have. 

and this has been going on since SA series , the minute he fails one game after even having a good one the knifes are out...as if he isnt allowed to have a bad game.

you know this is all relative.  why are others failing because of conditions and in same conditions, he outbatted them and even outbowled main bowlers. You cant ask more than that he is out numbering both specialist bats and bowlers.  If others succeed, he will succeed better.  Example Afghan test where he played an important innings after the middle order collapsed. what did Stokes and Woakes did in India? Should we remove the alrounder tag from them after their failures in India?

I don't get this obsession against pandya,  he did his job, and why these idiots compare pandy to Stokes is beyond me,  def. he is not as talanted as stokes but he is doing his job, eng has history of producing allrounders like Flintoff and we on the other other hand at the most has produced banger cement, pandy also not the biggest problem of this team, just leave him alone ffs.

What if they are of the same opinion? They gain nothing by going after him.

once media ppl holds a grudge against someone......they will go after them . At the end they are humans who have the power of influencing ppl and thats what concerns me 

Go on their twitter handle watch their shows....how many other ppl are bashed like him and the others are performing worse then him

When he knuckles down with the bat, he actually looks like someone who can score runs in England. 

 

Even Mikey Holding has a vendetta against Pandya. He has taken offense that some media outlet has described him as the next Kapil Dev. That is not Hardik Pandya's fault. 

who is pointing out holding, i respect his opinion

Even bob willis had same opinion ....they cme from a diff genration n i understand their opinion

 

When sanga, ganguly, tendulkar, ponting back him......i dnt even call them their PR

 

PPL can have different opinion

Both Woakes and Stokes made their test debut in 2014.  Stokes is 27 and Woakes is 29.  Pandya is 24.  Pandya is just starting out.  5 of his 9 tests have been played outside SC in difficult conditions for batting and now his bowling did come of age in the last test.  if he can keep the same level of bowling in next three tests, his bowling will definitely become an asset for us.

Regarding being an alrounder.  Some people are saying, alrounder who can make the team wither both of their skills.  means one could play as a bowler or as a batsman. but that is not the case.  Name me one alrounder who can do that.  I dont think any of the top 4 alrounders of 80s could play as a batsman alone. None of them averaged more than 37 in tests.  Imran was the highest at 37. No team will play specialist batsman averaging 31 like Kapil or 33 like Botham.  Hadlee was even lower.  There is no such alrounder ever existed who could play both as a batsman or as a bowler.  They always have one strong suite and the second suite was weaker.
