rkt.india Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) 20 minutes ago, SK_IH said: he has an equally important role in the side as a bowler, if he is a batting all rounder much more is expected out of him rather than 1-2 fifties he has done more than what Kohli had done in his first 7 tests. So, he is certainly on course in that aspect. Ashwin and jaddu are bowling alrounders, so, there are more expectations from them in bowling than batting. Pandya is there to provide rest to main bowlers and bowl 10-12 overs a day. His wickets are bonus like Ashwin, Jaddu, and BK's runs are bonus. if he can get at least 2 wickets per test that will be fine. Edited August 1, 2018 by rkt.india adi B 1 Link to comment

Sachinism Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Pandya will win us a test match. 5+ wickets and 100 runs in a match. Probably fail the rest of the series Link to comment
Number Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ben Stokes schooling Pandya about the role of all rounder. Keeping pressure up for 10 overs. Stan AF and Switchblade 2 Link to comment
asterix Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 His role is clear now. To clean up the shyte done by Yaddu, Ishu, KLR, KKD, Rahane etc... Ankit_sharma03, zen and adi B 3 Link to comment

SK_IH Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 If Pandya gets to bowl tomorrow that means we are in trouble,that underlines his role in the side Link to comment

R!TTER Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Need Jadeja in the next test, unless it's the same green strip we played on last time. Pandya - sadly your time is up Link to comment

So you're saying Jadeja would've done a worse job than Pandya with the ball? Looking at the turn in this pitch sounds like a bold call. Edited August 2, 2018 by R!TTER Link to comment

On a flat deck may be Pandya would have been more useful as he can score quickly down the order also chip in a few overs. Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Pandya's ideal role would be carrying drinks. Beyond that, he is a liability! Link to comment

Looking at the turn in this pitch sounds like a bold call. The tail only scored 18 runs among them so Pandya's knock was very helpful to the Indian team .... Pandya is a better batsman than those he is competing against .... Ind is bowling relatively well. It is batting that has been a let down up to this point Link to comment

If the pitches are as dry as this one, throughout the series, I'll take a punt on 2 spinners instead of Pandya. This test has shown us that the batting is in even worse shape, than I feared initially, so Jadeja gets the nod for his slightly useful batting down the order. Link to comment

On flat tracks I'd argue Pandya is better, but not here against the moving ball. Link to comment

After accounting for 5 specialist batsmen, 4 specialist bowlers and best WK, I like to have one player in the 11 with the x factor. Before this test Pandya has 4 50+ scores in 10 innings so I would rate him higher for his ability to get a big score (relative to those he is competing against) .... Pandya did well in difficult batting conditions in SA with that 90 odd and has already played a valuable knock in the 1st inning Edited August 2, 2018 by zen Link to comment

Pandya did well in difficult batting conditions in SA with that 90 odd and has already played a valuable knock in the 1st inning Pandya played 1 chancy innings out of 6, IIRC he was even dropped more than once. Now for his 50+ scores, all of them are in Asia bar that 90 and while we're at it check Jadeja batting avg since 2015. As for the X factor - if Pandya cannot take wickets then he has nothing, unless you rate Pandya the bowler higher than India's best rated spinner? Edited August 2, 2018 by R!TTER Link to comment
