Shivum Dube is an abysmal bowler

Dube is a middle order batsman cum big hitter who can bowl a bit.

 

On ODI debut, TM uses him as a bowler who can bat a bit  ( 5th bowler cum 8th batsman  )

 

And we are seeing the results.

 

(  This TM would perhaps have used debutant Yuvraj or Ganguly as bowlers who can bat a bit  ... not that I am saying that Dube is as good as the 2 superstars ... but pointing out their reading of the game and player types )

 

Okay, who are they supposed to play? This team needs bowlers who can bat not the other way around.But do we have any such players?Who could be ready for next T20.

 

They need to give Dubey extended run as he is only of the few guys who can tonk the ball.

I am not sure whether he is a OD cricketer. This braindead TM lead by Kohli could have used him in place of Jadhav and test his batting capabilities while also playing another bowler. Because it's apparent his batting will determine his future. But obviously Kohli went for Jadhav and also bowled him. 

I hope this match finally puts the nail in the coffin of Jadhav the bowler. He has had his run, got really exposed now.

The insistence on rewarding Jadeja with an extended white ball audition as allrounder, for his successful contributions in test cricket, is irritating the f** out of me.  Ajinkya Rahane was given the same indulgence in T20 cricket -only cost us a WC played at home.

Play Dube 

 

Make him bat at 6 or 7 ... and use him as the 6th bowler.

 

 

We don't necessarily need bowlers who can bat a bit, especially for T20s.

 

Even if we needed one, you don't choose a batsman who can bowl a bit ... to fill the need of a bowler who can bat a bit.   (  A zoo needs a monkey ... you don't dress and use a giraffe as a monkey to fill that need  )

Shreyas Gopal is a good bowler and can bat a bit. I would give him a chance.

Can bowl 130+, can hit from ball 1. There is enough to work with there. Plus he's earned his spot after doing well in FC cricket and for the A team. Deserves a proper run

Just because you can hit a speed of 130 does not make you a bowler. You do understand that or don't you?

I agree it does not make him a bowler but do we have any alternatives?Pandya or Stuart Binny playing for India was also a by product of team needing their skill set more than them being super talented.

There is no alternative at that level. Team needs to decide whether they need a specialist bat or bowler. Today they needed a specialist bowler. Allrounders do not exist like I have said before.

I did not compare Dubey to Jadeja. I was just saying Dubey is needed for this team.Both are needed, once Pandya comes back Dubey can go but Jadeja still stays.

The way he is currently playing Jadeja is a must for the team. I am not so sure of Pandya either.
