The Biryani Test | Ind vs WI | Hy'bad | Oct 12, 2018

[rtmohanlal]

was a great oppertunity to rest the hack Umesh and play Siraj. Instead Thakur  is playing...

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Pant... was surprised that he caught that on the leg side ....

He's improving ...

Ashwin too smart for Powell who tried to keep attacking him

Almost wants to give his wicket away... 

[test fan]

Braithwaite & Azhar Ali both  most boring Player  to watch .just pathetic

Only interesting thing in this test will be Gabriel's bowling.

You did not reply to my points at all. Do you even know those players name? Zimbabwe was a pretty decent team. And no player sits out against every minnow game, the amount of cricket those guys played was so less, Sachin used to play 5-7 tests in a year in his prime, rest concept wasnt even there. Even then in later stages Sachin rested against minnows like WI when he was not needed

Indeed they had some good players henery olonga ( gave a pretty tough time your god Sachin   ), Alastair Campbell, flower brothers And that all rounder Neil jonshon at that time I thought he will have a great future but he just disappeared.my point is people like you suggesting virat should have played only against strong teams but your god Sachin has also a fair share of scoring against minnos

Yes because people have the common sense to know that players play a ton of matches more now which gives them option to rest whereas in sachin time they hardly played any tests. But if you are just trolling go ahead

Lmao this guy does not have it in him to be a fast bowler. Injured after barely two overs

I hope Windies smash this team and teach these idiots a lesson. Of course i might be expecting too much since the 4-1 humiliation in England seemed to have lil effect on the Holy trinity of kohli/shastri/MSK

Why does every reader who posts comments on Cricbuzz sound like they're suffering from depression? We can be 600/1 in 120 overs and some twat will still be moaning about old test school cricket is dead.

[speedheat]

Any reason why we are watching this snoozefest?

He should get a look in then. Maybe the wi odis?

 

We should not mix formats.

 

Siraj is great in 4 day / 5 day games ...  and often terrible in the shorter formats.

 

Md. Siraj  is a 6'1" pacer who gets some bounce and whose pace varies between genuine fast  and   fast-medium.  Gets zip off the deck and can move the ball both ways.  He has a  FC average of 18.9.  And he is in the form of his life, having picked 40 wickets from 5 Unofficial Tests, both home and away,  against 4 different opponents.

 

A test series at home was the ideal time to introduce such a youngster.

 

Shardul Thakur  is a 5' 9"  pacer who lacks natural bounce and his pace varies between medium-fast  and  fast-medium.  He has a FC average of 28 and his recent form is indifferent.  Looks innocuous more often than not.

 

He has been part of most test squads selected since 2016.  But makes his test debut in 2018.  This fact, by itself, shows that the team management does not have much confidence in him and he is a quota pick.
