Nobody has been consistent this series, he is new and we have to keep patience with him. Lets hold our opinon as everyone has struggled here And as few of us have said here before have pandya n shankar both overseas and play them acc to surfaces Flat- pandya seamer friendly track- shankar 3 wickets at avg of 48 on these tracks is very part timer type stuff.

puneet28 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Pandeya should be given the task of keeping it tight while bowling. He can easily do the job what Ishant does and can pick occasional 1-2 wickets. In this we can get rid of Ishant the leader aa well.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
gattaca Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 He is still learning. I would definitely play him. Let play few more tours. Link to comment

Nitpicking how many overs he bowled compared to main strike bowlers. Did he ever get a chance to bowl new ball ? Stats are lies and damn lies. Link to comment

Suhaan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yes a passenger who shows up as "the driver "in the team Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 He is the best talent in the team. Just that success should not go to his head. Most talented and most valuable player. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Op does not understand cricket and pitches in these crazy tracks 3 Bowlers are enough . So don’t need 5 lol but when back to normal test crixket like say oz . Pitches are flat and hard work . We will then need pandya as 5th bowler to bowl lots of overs , like he did well in test 2 . Then 5th bowler needs to be able to bat properly ie all rounder . Hence pandya . Pandya will also be exevellent bat on better tracks you guys go from game to game making knee jerk reactions . Pandya was our mom in 1 st test Link to comment

Pandya was our mom in 1 st test Problem isn't his bowling, if he is 5th bowling option, he is only required to keep things tight. Problem is his approach to batting, his idol must be Shahid Khan Afridi: the way he tried to play his shots. That approach will fail more than often if bowlers have a plan for you. He does have potential, no doubt, but his temperament is not made for test team ranked #1. cowboysfan 1 Link to comment

What approach anyone should do on these pitches is anyone’s guess lol how did he bat in first test ? How quick people forget Link to comment

But generally pure quality cricket shots Link to comment
surajmal Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 5 bats + Keeper + 4 pacers + Ashwin -- Thats the team format that needs to be followed for Eng/Aus tours. Pandya isn't ready for the big stage. Link to comment

Pandya isn't ready for the big stage. Bhuvaneshwar is a much more sensible and reliable batter at this time. So I would prefer to play him as the bowling all-rounder (with Ashwin for added depth in the lower order). Pandya has too many brain fades in all aspects of his game to be a consistent member of the XI at this time (his runout attempt of Ngidi was ridiculous as he almost made it next to the stumps only to throw the ball and miss them altogether when he could have easily knocked of the bails). His knock in the first test is also being over-hyped imo. He survived a few dropped chances earlier on so he did get lucky. He is a very strong candidate for the LOI side but definitely not ready for test cricket yet. Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 pretty disappointing stuff from him since the first test Link to comment
