Vijay Shankar (Batting Pacer Allrounder) - Performance Watch thread


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Bowled well today in two overs. Wicket and dropped catch. Looks he may  be a part timer like we had Saurav before. 

 

BTW Saurav had 5 for 16  in Toronto. cant forget that awesome spell.

Not a specialist bowler so he will bowl totally innocuous ones at times. Risky to have him in 5 bowlers. If we are lookign for some batsman who can bowl a bit then he is one like Kedar Jadhav option. 

 

His batting has to be like specialist batsman , if it is not he is not worth in team.Lets see in few matches.

I admit I have seen very little of his batting , but wasnt very impressed ..he hits big , but not sure he can hit quality bowlers . so if bowling is below average hes way behind Pandya imo

Said from day one . Joke people calling him all rounder for international cricket 

 

his bowling is pathetic. . Shows how lucky we are to have pandya . Can click up to 90

 

we shoudl stop going about challengers for panday as Seam all rounder as can assure their are none . In fact panday is first since kapil Dev and people think might Be Ones better then panday lol

Shankar got 2 wickets despite 3 drops and bowled at 130 to 135 k with one ball at 143 k. What more do you expect from a batting all-rounder?

 

 Pandya firstly has to establish himself in one discipline - batting or bowling which has not done in domestics as well as international.

 

Also, Pandya IMO is more of a bowling all-rounder whereas Shankar is batting all-rounder. So we are comparing apples to oranges here. Either can be played depending on the combination the team wants.

He finished with decent figures today, but I didn't see anything special today. I'd still rate him more of a 6th bowler instead of being a 5th bowler who can bowl 10 overs in most occasions.
