Guy bowls nearly 90 mph . X factor in field with amazing athleticism . Bats with pure power and can smash ball out of stadium . If that’s crap ......ffs general comment on every indian pacer that tours for the first time Link to comment

But if other bowlers do their job can give him licenece to run in and bowl quick for 4/5 overs . If they not doing job maybe a case have to come and try bowl economy and relieve work load The kid is not finished article but imo has serous X factor . Just like flintoff and stokes often did not produce stats but always kept in team and they developed and came good . The guy is once in generation player for India Link to comment

At time may struggle but mark my words will have some fantastic moments can bow , bat and field . Stokes numbers don’t add up but contribution to team great . Same will be for pandya . Pandya just starting but by end of 2018 will inproved a lot . I expect at least one exhilarating knock v sa were smashes quick fire 80 plus Stokes made a 100 on day 5 Perth eicket., Has taken few five for already. He has scored 258 versus South Africa, that too in SA (Capetown) iirc. Without Stokes England is struggling in this Ashes.He is already a main player for them. Link to comment
Vijy Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I am rather skeptical about his batting. I feel 6 is a bit too high for him. as for bowling, he's the 5th bowler so there's not much to expect on that front. Link to comment

Bro Take a look at it. With the same no. of innings, Hazelwood has only got 30 wickets above Stokes. Now Stokes is a 5th bowler and Hazelwood bowls with the new ball. Stokes will go down with 6k runs and 250 wickets minimum. Link to comment
ravishingravi Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 He has a good attitude but he is front foot plonker. Will not work in SA. Link to comment

Sooda Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Need to be realistic in terms of what we expect. I hope he plays all three tests. Bowling, If he takes on average 2 to 3 wickets a test, bowled some good spells to give the front line guys a break With the bat expect a bit more , hopefully end the series with an average of between 35 and 40- some useful quick runs, possibly middle order collapse rescuing Link to comment
Jodonjo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hardik playing all 3 test matches without being replaced will happen only if india is winning/dominant in this series. Lets hope for the best!!!!! Link to comment

Realistically if he manages to remain wicketless in a day that will be good enough for us. 1.5 wickets on average Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Apologies to the Pandya supporters. I was against him and been proved wrong! Respect. People speak about Imran Khan, Botham, Sobers etc and I can say, this kind of performance was at par with them or perhaps better.

Samcric Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I have been a supporter of Pandya as the allrounder for a while now. However, we should not get ahead of ourselves. He could easily have been out for 14 if Elgar had held on to the catch, or if he had nicked any of the Dale Steyn outswingers that he got squared up against. He will fail with the bat as the series goes along. We need to be patient, he has shown his mettle against good fast bowlers from Australia and South Africa now. He will need to prove his consistency now. He should bat at no. 6 and be able to average >40 and <33 with the bat and ball respectively. If that happens and if Kohli picks the right batsmen in the team, India can still hope. philcric and Cricketics 2 Link to comment
