express bowling Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Hardik lends balance to our LOI teams. A big hitter who can start hitting from ball one. A bowler who can bowl 7 or 8 overs in ODIs and 3 to 4 overs in T20Is. If he is injured then we may have a better bowler in his place BUT The Nr.7 batting position is weakened considerably. Our batting depth becomes less. We miss a lower-middle order big-hitter. We need to create similar back-ups for lending balance to the team Candidates are -- Vijay Shankar Krunal Pandya Maybe Axar Patel .... not sure about him. Any other options ? Selectors need to look into this aspect ASAP. Edited July 9, 2017 by express bowling SecondSlip, Lannister, Rightarmfast and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Tibarn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Need a pace allrounder. Krunal and Axar both seem good replacements for a Jadeja. Is Shankar's pace up to mark? Link to comment

Krunal coming at 7, Kuldeep at 8. 3 proper fast bowlers after that. Just now, Tibarn said: Is Shankar's pace up to mark? He is medium-fast. Should be ok for T20s atleast. Tibarn 1 Link to comment

Jadhav is at No.6 Not competing for Hardik's position. Moreover.... he is a good ODI batsman and an average T20 batsman. sscomp32 and Pollack 2 Link to comment

He is alright but his batting position is wrong though,he is not a power hitter ,more of an improviser,see a few matches from last india - england series.But yeah we can try a few in his position plenty of options available.

I think the reason Kedar is batting at No.6 is because he is one of the 2 batters in our team ( along with Hardik ) who can start scoring at more than a run-a-ball from ball one. Otherwise, I agree with you that if we find another batter at No.6 who can start scring quickly from ball 1.... he will be better utilized in the middle overs. RAZPOR 1 Link to comment

tweaker Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Shankar should be in the scheme of things as he is fast bowling all-rounder & he is already selected for A team. Next young fast bowling all-rounder is Nagarkoti of Rajasthan who has just started his career. express bowling and sscomp32 2 Link to comment

It does not necessarily have to be a pacer-all-rounder. A spinner all-rounder like Krunal can do.... and we play 3 specialist pacers, along with Kuldeep. Link to comment

Yes Quote Next young fast bowling all-rounder is Nagarkoti of Rajasthan who has just started his career. Yes.... Nagarkotti can be another fast bowler who is a big-hitting batsman Edited July 9, 2017 by express bowling tweaker, Rightarmfast, sscomp32 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
