maniac Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I might have been harsh on Dube. See any Indian player no matter what the talent level is or age is, I hope they succeed. Nothing but good will. There is nothing personal about Dube here, my complaint was that he got a chance ahead of other skilled players just because he could roll his arm over. I personally wanted Gill or Samson in his place. A specialist batsman along with playing a proper knock can turn on the heat and tonk the ball around when required but a so called specialist hitter is usually very one dimensional. Now if he makes it on his bowling is another debate. I have never had problem with Hardik in T20s because his bowling is more than adequate as a 5th-6th bowler in that format, brilliant fielder and can hit big. I will be happy to be proven wrong if Dube turns out to be the next Yuvraj or even better the next Kapil Dev. The fact is his pathway to the team is still wrong. No hate. Hope he does well for his sake. Edited November 4, 2019 by maniac Suhaan and tweaker 2 Link to comment

I don't think he will ever be a yuvraj ,yuvraj was at some other level People here may differ,but i feel he was the most gifted cricketer ever to play lois for India Still Dube is one who should be given ample space and time,he may solve our lower middle order problem in times to come Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Talk is easy and cheap, though hard work of some players like Dubey and many cricketers isn't cheap. They have amassed runs for different sides to make their way into the National side. Ankit_sharma03 and sandeep 2 Link to comment

I personally wanted Gill or Samson in his place. Gill n Samson dont bat in lower order even in ipl their runs have come up the order .....n they are touch player u wnt bat at them at 6,7 Batting at 6,7 is a diff skill .....Best place to bat in LOI is top 3 and toughest is 6, 7 which is why dhoni,bevan are regarded so highly around the world. Thats old school thinking.....far away from modern cricket Quote A specialist batsman along with playing a proper knock can turn on the heat and tonk the ball around when required but a so called specialist hitter is usually very one dimensional. Most of these specialist batsman cant do the role of batting at 6,7 .. Even the great yuvraj singh career went on track when he started batting at 4.....till he was at 6 it was not going so smooth Quote I will be happy to be proven wrong if Dube turns out to be the next Yuvraj or even better the next Kapil Dev. Again very wrong expectation.....kapil n yuvraj are once in life time player. Rather becoming names they shud do their job..... Raina didnt become yuvi doesnt mean he didnt have his value Quote The fact is his pathway to the team is still wrong. No hate. Hope he does well for his sake. Which still u have not answered despite everyone telling that he has performed everywhere to earn that cap ....since when is performing wrong path Edited November 4, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

Average of 17. Chalo benefit of doubt yet again because T20 average doesn't matter. I don't remember him doing anything of note in the IPL where quality of bowlers is significantly better than Syed Mushtaq Ali. So what is this great performance you keep talking about? In ODI's I agree he does have an impressive average of 43 and S/R of 121 but he has 1 100 and 1 50 and 9 not outs and only 600 odd runs. How is that a gread body of work? Now that clearly proves the theory that he was selected on some cameos. That is what I have a problem with. Out of 35 matches he got to bat in only 23 games, which shows top order made merry on some of the easiest of pitched. If he was this big stud of a player, sure he could have been pushed up the order in a lot more games. However, he does seem to have made a stellar start to his FC career. We are not talking about tests here are we? even if that was the criteria he is behind the pecking order. Bowling he has less than a wicket per match in the LOI format.

So fine he did well in a couple of A series in 4-5 day format, so you want him to jump ahead of all the other batsmen waiting in the wings? should he replace Vihari? Can't Gill play in tests at 6? You showed me 2 innings which I already acknowledged are his only body of work. So now you are telling me he doesn't get to bat at 6? ok in that case he should get a shot when he has enough body of work at 6.

So cant he bat quickly....what else is the criteria for his job Did well in most chances.... u asked for perfomances i showed u that ......now dnt twist it coz ur claim of his cameo is gone for toss Did anyone say here get him in test??? Quote You showed me 2 innings which I already acknowledged are his only body of work. So now you are telling me he doesn't get to bat at 6? ok in that case he should get a shot when he has enough body of work at 6. Then lets get back thala Coz the problem is ppl like u will keep crying we need new blood and when u get u ask where is the experience. If we keep waiting for large body of work we ll only play 30 yr olds and then ull cry we play oldies Quote Till then I am sorry he got selected 1-2 freak knocks and a couple of cameos. how poor is ur maths 1-2 knocks ...i have shown 2 A tours in which he is in top 5 , ranji, List A u think all that perfomances can be achieved with 1-2 knocks .....srsly kaisi counting hai Edited November 4, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

I don't see any other big hitters in the system. This guy has the ability to hit, is he going to be next Yuvraj Singh , I doubt it. Can he hit international bowling is the question.I just don't see any great young batting talent in the system. Gill and Shaw are not suited for T20s that too in middle order.Gill might become a very good test opener and very good odi opener , I don't think he has the game yet for power play.I don't want him to become like another Rahul who in effort to become power player lost his technique.

Agreed somewhat Gill in t20 can only work if Kohli n Rohit doesnt play he cant play with those as then all 3 batsman will be of similar time who take time n starts hitting around the end Link to comment

He still has lot consistency issues in List A.But I will get him to play odis at any chance they get and when Kohli is not playing odis I will make him no3. I want to see him play test cricket. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

This Indian team never needed batting allrounder, India needs bowling allrounders in all formats. Bowlers who are capable of batting is what India needs. But in T20s you need a power hitter who can smack sixes. Indian team has been lacking power hitting since Yuvraj and Raina.Rohit is the power hitter for this team. This guy if he can hit from ball one then I don't see why he does not deserve his spot. Link to comment
