CSK Fan Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Any other player and we would be raving about this performance sandeep and beetle 1 1 Link to comment
Sachinism Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Bhuvi showed promise with the bat last year or so, then just faded away. Good to see him put up a good knock again, but I guess he's nowhere near consistent enough to be considered an all rounder beetle 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 But he's not phaast. So give it a few more days, and there will a bunch of ICF-ers clamoring to bring back Umesh Yadav in his place. beetle 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 He is in my 1st XI, will play only 1 wristie (preferably Kully) to go along with Bumrah, Shami, BK, Pandya, Shankar, Jadhav. We need a capable number 8 bat because last 3 are absolutely useless and can't be relied upon to score 10 runs together. beetle, DHONI_FANN, AuxiliA and 1 other 4 Link to comment
jusarrived Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Bhuvis technique is more sold than some of the top order batsmen , I would have used him like Narine at top of the order where it will be much easier for him t get boundaries . Vilander and beetle 2 Link to comment
maniac Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 One performance after ages. This has been the exact criticism of Pandya as well from neutral fans. Knuckle bowler has sucked for a loooong time, a few hoicks in a losing cause and an odd bowling performance is nothing to rave about. Anyways hope he carries his new found form to raki05, Stan AF, BrantFUGH and 3 others 2 3 1 Link to comment
beetle Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Bhuvi has to do well every single match or atleast not have a bad day.(like every cricketer)...or else he has had it. He may not be as big a wkt taker as bumrah or shami,but he is more consistent and predictable with a decent above average performance. Loved his batting. Wish he could have got us closer.

Good point. We can open with him to take advantage of field restriction , only problem is our batting lineup is so one dimensional that other than new guys, no one is able to play at any other position than where they bat. Be it dhawan, rohit or kohli. BrantFUGH and maniac 1 1 Link to comment

Anyways hope he carries his new found form to He was the top bowler in the Aus series this year and completely outbowled shami. In fact he is the best averaging indian pacer in 2019 and second best averaging bowler after chahal. He has the most wickets and highest strike rate and he has played less match than shami Edited March 14, 2019 by CSK Fan BrantFUGH and beetle 1 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Bhuvi's pace is up again and that shows up in his bowling. He's picking wickets regularly now and getting good movement. With the bat, he is reliable and when we lose early wickets, may not be a bad idea to promote him and hold Pandya back during the WC. beetle 1 Link to comment

He's fit again and bowling at a decent pace not the high 120s-low 130s. I am now hoping we get some bowling friendly pitches in WC where we will be favorites against any team. beetle 1 Link to comment

He tends to get worse as the series progresses but obviously there are exceptions to the rules. Edited March 14, 2019 by maniac Link to comment
