Temujin Khaghan Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If we use bumrah for saffer and English tests and he gets injured for the WC. Then it won't be worth it. Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Kl rahul is premier opener..is defensive and still scores. Vijay initially does not score at all at start of innings.. First 40 balls he doesn't score. Link to comment

Even Shami at times struggle in that aspect. Someone like Navdeep Saini can be an option too. Siraj bowls full Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 imo Bhuvi, Shami, Umesh, Ishant and Hardik would be in squad as pace bowlers for SA test series subject to fitness off-course. If one of these gets injured then we might see Jasprit. Link to comment

express bowling Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 59 minutes ago, rkt.india said: even club bowlers bowl far more accurately than him. I am really upset since i saw that pitch map of him today morning. nothing in good length on this pitch, either short or full. he just ruined everything after they were 201/7. Apart from accuracy, Umesh has an issue with bounce and zip off the deck. Many of his 137 k+ balls were not really flying through to the keeper even on this pitch like it was with Shami. He looks good only when he bowls fuller with reverse swing, when the pace in the air takes over. Maybe it is time to use him only in reverse-swinging conditions in tests. 59 minutes ago, rkt.india said: I bet Bumrah would wreaked havoc on this pitch. Definitely. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 there was a time we used to gamble on rookies and new comers and they won us games too. Sreesanth, RP, Pathan, etc. Link to comment

Umesh lacks motivation and intensity. He will come back for 2 matches and then go away for 3 more. He seems so content and happy even while bowling cr@p Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I would also like to use Sandeep Sharmafor England tour when the ball is swinging. Bhuvi-Shami-Sandeep and someone like Tyagi or Left arm seamer like Ankit Chaudhery can be really handy. We have to sometimes look beyond numbers in Ranji and pick players according to the condition. Sandeep Sharma can do for us well in England as the conditions are perfect for him to exploit. Link to comment
jalebi_bhai Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Let's not get too judgemental on the basis of this game. This is technically still a 3rd day wicket because of the rain delays we've had. Our own batsmen have raced to 50 without any hassle. Sri Lankas had the benefit of bowling in overcast conditions first up. Link to comment

We need to look for better bowlers and not content with inconsistent bowling Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I would also opt for Sandeep Sharma if we are going to someone else apart from established pace bowlers. Praveen Kumar was outstanding on tour of England and he got prodigious swing. Sandeep too is capable of that in those conditions. Link to comment

jalebi_bhai Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 @rkt.india Indian attack needs a left arm pacer imo for variety. Any decent prospects besides Saini and Aniket? Link to comment

Any decent prospects besides Saini and Aniket? Saini is right hander. There is no one else. Kulwant Khejroliya could have been an option but did not have a great start to his Ranji career and is a rookie. Sangwan is another option but he has missed this Ranji season due to the surgery.

Sorry, I meant Sran. Hmm...sad to read that we have very few decent left armers in domestic season. Link to comment
