maniac 18,130 Report post Posted July 11 (edited) H.Pandya 226 runs at 32.00, SR of 112.00, no 50 or 100. also came in with plenty of time to spare in most games. 10 wickets at 45.00 with economy of 5.76. no 4 fr or 5fr on the other hand B. Stokes 381 runs at 54.00 average and SR of 95 with 4 50's. Played some clutch knocks 7 wickets at 32.00 with Economy of 4.7 J.Neesham Only 7 innings but 213 runs at average of 36.00 including a back to the wall 97* against Pakistan. S/R on the lower side at 79 but obviously Nzl is the only team that had to chase/defend total of 300+ only once. 12 wickets at 20.75 including a 5fr Brathwaite 154 runs including a clutch 100 that almost pulled off an impossible chase and 9 wickets including a 4fr Holder 170 runs that included a 50 and 8 wickets with no 4fr or 5fr. So our allrounder is the only guy not to have a single 50 or a minimum 4fr Not sure if he is a batsman or a bowler Edited July 11 by maniac 4 1 2 shami_123, Nikola, Khota and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

Should have been promoted in games such as vs. SL. As for bowling, he is actually being praised for completing his 10 overs, which allowed Ind to play another specialist batsman On good batting surfaces, he does not get chances to bat. On good bowling surfaces, the guys who bat for long in other matches, do not deliver, exposing other batsmen earlier. On top of that, these openers mess up chases like that against Eng, setting the rest of the team for failure Performed well in the knockout game. where likes of Rohit, who were supposed to be in good form, failed to deliver where it counted Edited July 11 by zen 1 1 Real McCoy and Unstable Joe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

Praveen Amre 12 Report post Posted July 11 I don't think we lost the WC because of all-rounders, particularly Pandya. He may have shortcomings as a batsman or a bowler, but did he fail to do his job?

mishra 4,921 Report post Posted July 11 Let’s analyse compare with another player. Maxwell and Pandya are similar batsman. They both rely on arm speed. Result of such arm speed is , ball will travel somewhere behind the stumps. Nxt time you watch either of two see areas where they score runs. Now can you rely on a batsman like Pandya and Maxwell. No, never. They can get out any time. Its coaches job to bring in some technique in Pandya’s batting. I have no issue with his bowling but he should not be overworked. His initial few overs are spray bullets. A coach can simply fix it by telling exactly how to get his arms warmed right before bowls his First ball. So all in all: poor coaching on both fronts 2 Unstable Joe and Yoda-esque reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
