Jaddu vs Pandya

[Jamadagni]

With WC being in England, we just can't go with only two front line pacers but can't weaken our already poor lower order either by dropping Pandya. How about playing Jadeja in place of Chahal and get in 3rd pacer? 

 

Jadeja

Kuldeep

Khaleel (or even Deepak Chahar) 

Bhuvi

Bumrah

 

(or) 

Pandya 

Kuldeep 

Chahal 

Bhuvi 

Bumrah 

 

Which attack is better? I'm tempted to go with the former. 

[Moochad]

Jadeja doesn't have a good enough batting ability, while Pandya can at least hit 4s and 6s. Also Jadeja's recent record in ODIs is horrible. I much rather have Chahal who is stats wise a top 4 spinner since his debut and takes wickets.

Did u not see jadeja batting at 7 all these yrs

In England, you will need 4 seamers.

Jadeja played as a 2nd spinner last time in CT and got thrashed.

And the answer is...

Kuldeep and Jadeja won't really work good both left arm bowlers.

[Khota]

jadeja is good.

[Moochad]

Jadeja cleaning up bangladeshis, hopefully we don't overreact to this and include him in the XI for the WC.

 

He will be good in the Asia cup

Lol Jaddu is a bowler, he can't be relied upon to bat and win you matches

he was always a lethal bowler when ball turned a bit, thats how he was so impactful in 2013 CT

he was dropped becoz surfaces around the world became more flat and his wkts started drying .....and thats why wrist spinner were bought

Jadeja can be a bowler in England. meaning replace Chahal.

didnt he bowl in CT 2017 and failed to get wkts 

whats the point of selecting him on basis of subcotinent , he was always good here ...by that logic he shud hve never been dropped

[zen]

Pandya can bat at 6 too .... however, such threads are meaningless w/o considering the overall impact of the 11. Now someone can post a batting line up comparison where one has all specialist batsmen, while the other has 1-2 ARs. It is not how the team looks on paper but the balance required to mitigate challenges in the field and provide sufficient options to the captain

I always had faith in him and couple that with his experience, batting and fielding he is ahead of pandya. (both)

batting ahead of pandya  not even in dreams

[express bowling]

We need 3 specialist pacers in England and Hardik cannot be one of them.

 

Bumrah, Khaleel and Bhuvi maybe ideal if they keep performing.

 

Hardik at 6.

 

Krunal / Jadeja / Sundar / Gowtham at 7.

 

Kuldeep at 8.

Shud be krunal/sundar or gowtham.....jadeja makes our batting week 

Krunal actually looks the only option

Sundar is more of a proper batsman then hitter

Gowtham has to work on his batting more

Batting is the last thing I dream of.
