Pollack Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Since op says Morne Morkel wastes similar to Ishant, we must look into their Strike rates.Kindly someone do the honors of posting the same. Ishant has a SR of freaking 105 in Australia and 71.9 in India. It's enough to know there Is no bias. Link to comment

Scar Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 so are we supposed to castigate morkel for not getting our batsmen out? Link to comment

No....it is just that we make Morkel to be some beast where as withh some players there is no margin for errors....for what it’s worth Ishant has been the best fast bowler either side in this match. That is what I am alluding to where it took one average over for him to get abused. Link to comment
goose Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Ok then. During the 1st test Pollock on commentary was explaining a problem that Morkel had very recently developed that took away his potency. He did a whole analysis of how the ball was slightly coming out of the side of his hand, his wrist wasn't behind full behind the ball, and you could see his little pinky finger. This has been Ishant's stock ball since 2007. EDIT I mean what the f%ck Edited January 14, 2018 by goose GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Rohit has scored more runs than Pujara While I agree that both deserve criticism,on one hand there is hush hush on Pujara’s failures where the other has received amazing hate. Things like this irk me and that is what I am pointing out..go crazy with criticism equally but selective hate is what gets me every time. this is what I mean by bias for selective players Edited January 14, 2018 by maniac Link to comment

There is cherry picking when it comes to hate...that’s all I am pointing out...I never said Ishant is a greater bowler than Morkel. Link to comment
Khota Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ishant is a fine bowler who gets hate from people on this forum. maniac and sarcastic 2 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think point of the thread is being forgotten over pin pointing other things what Maniac wrote. I kind of agree with him that when we start hating something, then we go to a route where we start hating and criticizing that particular player in every way possible since we just don’t want to see them in the team. maniac 1 Link to comment

Hmm but the chances that are given to Ishant and the returns we got are terrible. He doesn’t have basics of fast bowler. Doesn’t has good seam position, lost his action , tried to copy Zaheer. He should be the leader of the pace attack and he doesn’t even take the reaponsibility. I mean who would do that. His self confidence doesn’t seem inspiring to me. Him and Rohit are two players we over invested in tests. Both of these players hogged and are still keeping good players out of the team.Even if it was zero sum game in terms of returns we would have been happy.

I don’t want to use the word hate but I kind of dislike Ishant’s selection st this time but I agree with Maniac’s sentiments if same mistakes are made by other players we kind of not make it a big deal, Why? simple reason - We go with the wind or go wih the flow that everyone is dissing someone, then lets disss them too. I am not a fan of Sharma, either of the Sharmas playing but he raised a good point which he did not specifically defined. In other words his whole point can be rephrhased as “People diss players according to the flow of the opinions.” Very true. God Bless America Link to comment
