SecondSlip Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This guy is a tried and tested failure. He is already 30 years old and hasn’t scored a half century since god knows when. He’s most likely going to be nowhere near the team for the next World Cup, so it makes no sense as to why he keeps getting selected. Players like Shubman Gill can give us much more value as a middle order batsman as compared to Pandey Ji! Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 i agree with you but this is not the series to try the youngsters,we should have been playing them against WI and the lankas of the world.The reluctance to play youngsters is the Achilles heel of Kohli. Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There is nothing wrong in his selection or his non selection.He is not the core player for this team he will always be in and out of this team. Link to comment
sergio04 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 He is a specialist fielder. Suhaan and express bowling 2 Link to comment

How many young players he has to play?Saini, Chahar, Iyer,Kulcha , Pant, Shaw, Mayank and more have made his debut under Kohli. Some have been injured, some have not performed so they have been in and out. He is leading the most one dimesional team in all formats and still India is top two teams in all formats,Do we have any multi faceted player who has been overlooked. OpeningBatsman 1 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Poor guy never gets a consistent run. Is asked to play in positions he's not suited to and not capable of. Playing him usually at 5 and 6 and playing him on the same day when Iyer and Rahul bat at 4 & 5 is stupid. Cricspin 1 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This guy today has done precisely what he is capable of.. 1980's rescue acts from 80/6 to some respectability. Unfortunately these situations occur very rarely in Intl and more so in T20 world cups. Guy struggled to hit big shots even when Saini and Thakur could manage it. I would take him only when the pitches are not flat and that is rare. nevada 1 Link to comment

jalebi_bhai Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Unpopular opinion, but I think he's good enough to be a member of the 15-man squad for the WC. Not starting XI necessarily, but a back-up middle order option who can play at 4,5 or 6. Plus, he is arguably the best fielder in India and can change the game with brilliance on the field. Captaining Karnataka has brought about maturity in his game. nevada 1 Link to comment
SUMO Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I am actually liking him off late. He can perform rescue acts like today. He is good in percentage cricket. Probably at the peak of his powers at the age of 30. He can rotate the strike very well with Iyer/kohli while chasing ( first 2 T20 games this series) While setting a target he wont be needed before expending all hardiks, Pants, even Shardul. He is not bad for 5 ball 10 runs even in that situation. Link to comment

You can build an entire team innings around Pandey, also chasing below par scores, he is very good to have in the team. But his value is that.. Im not sure over the long run he is the solution. Feels better suited to ODI cricket. Link to comment
Kaptan Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 This guy has played more clutch innings than Raja Beta Pant. He has also taken some superb catches. He playes for the team and always gives his 100 percent. Still he is ridiculed while "gobar buddhi" Pant has die heart fans. Link to comment
Ajju Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Actually he is not as bad as the hate he s getting perfect in Odi Link to comment
RajBan Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Manish Pandey is more suited to ODI . He actually is a pretty good player who could not do justice to his potential in the sporadic chances he got, needless to say TM did not help either. He never got backing after that century in Australia. When it comes to T20 , he is more suited for 3-4, so he can be a squad player in that sense and be backup to Kohli Iyer. He is not somebody who will consistently offer high SR which is the need at 5,6,7 where I expect Pant, Pandya and similar players to be backed. Yesterday however it was a different scenario, due middle order harakiri, Manish got more balls to play and apply himself even at 6, so it was more of a typical ODI scenario where he came for the last 10-12 overs. This won't happen rverytime, Manish will hardly get 12-15 balls to play in T20s at 6 and will be expected to score 25-30 which is not his strength.

coffee_rules Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 At least deserves to play at 4 or 5. Shreyas struggled today to put bat on ball for his scratchy 33 off 31 to finish. Vickydev 1 Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Smart cricketer and a terrific athlete. Ugly on the eye at times but can be effective. Can see why team management keep him around. Link to comment
jusarrived Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Pandey is a far superior bat than Iyer , he just looks bad to watch otherwise he’s clutch and even his power game has improved considerably. That said he should be no where close to the T20 team , he’s more suited for ODIs and worse he’s at 5 or 6 lol . Iyer on the other hand more I watch him , am convinced he’s not going to survive for long . Even few knocks he did well , the way he was exposing his stumps and swinging his bat blindly was tailenderish . We are going to waste another year on him though , considering he’s done alright so far and lack of other options Lannister and Frustrated 2 Link to comment

Pandey is a better player of pace Iyer is a better player of spin If it swings n seam dono marenge They both have their pros n cons but dont think they are far from each other. If its about being superior gill is way superior then both If rahul is going to bat in middle these 2 will contest with pant who i feel in terms of ability way superior then both and wkt keeping gives him advantage.

rkt.india Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Pandey is temperamentally quite strong, may not be the most attractive or skillful. He isn't as talented as Rohit or Rahul. Lannister 1 Link to comment

Pandey is far superior against pace , but he’s very good against spin too . So I would put him a notch above Iyer which makes him a good fringe player to have .Like I said I don’t want either of them in T20s and for ODI till we find better options , pandey should be used as stop gap .
