GolGappe Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Pardon my slight Delhi bias, but I firmly believe that Pant is a very special player and should be integral to India's plan for 2019 World Cup. Utility wise, he could be slotted to replace Dhoni or Raina. Not going to happen I know. I feel his game is most suited for ODIs right but a solid pick for T20s as well. The last time I had similar feelings for an upcoming player was when Dhoni was wrecking bowlers' a$$h0les at India A level. Samcric, Mosher, UrmiSinhaRay and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment

Shankar is injured so wont play. will lack the 5th bowling option play 4 pacers - rajpoot, saini, siraj, gurbani and jayant as all rounder . Nadeem waise bhi will never play for india, atleast all fast bowler will get a chance n jayant who is among the probables will have his game time UrmiSinhaRay and Cricket_Fan 1 1 Link to comment

I beleive he bowled better than both Saini and Rajpoot.Also cant test him whether he is good enough to be our backup for Bhuvi as a swing bowler in Tests. Link to comment

Rajpoot and Saini was unable to finish-off Windies unlike Gurbani and Siraj. Philander plays at green pitches in SA. same pace alone does not make him Philander. You need to have the accuracy of him too. Regarding last game, that was poor captaincy. They both did not bowl enough overs. Rajpoot got just 10 overs in whole day in 2nd innings despite picking early wickets. two spinners bowled double the overs of pacers. Nair learnt in this game a bit and gave more overs to seamers still his poor captaincy in first innings could have lost them this game when he removed Siraj and brought Spinners and as a result, they added 70 runs for 9th wicket UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Quote India A's final tour game is a one-off Test against England Lions from July 16, one where a number of Test specialists like M Vijay, Mohammed Shami and Wriddhiman Saha are likely to feature ahead of the first Test against England on August 1 at Edgbaston.

If Philander is a great Bowler than Pravenn Kumar is also a great bowler bcos Praveen was AS GOOD AS Philander on his control of line n length and the KIND OF SWING he generated in swing friendly conditions was More than VERNOM and BHUVI....vernom suceeds only in such conditions, i agree he is no 1 bowler in such conditions but even Praveen Kumar, BHUVI and our local CHAHAR can become a great bowler on such conditions.He PLays in tests where conditions are favourably, i heard he was a big failure in LANKA... he is a not an all condition Bowler and which goes totally against him steyn,Umesh yadav,Plunkett, Jimmy anderson, current african spearhead(wheatish , i m missing the name) is a better bowler than philander. even indian batsman played vernom well but could not handle ngidi and their spearhead.
