Went for a few in a couple of overs later on- I felt he was pressing a bit, trying to make something happen in that middle session where nothing was happening for us. His bowling is clearly a work in progress. Still you'd take that from your 5th bowler - he did chip in with a top order wicket after all. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Picked up wkts as the 5th bowler .... Won India an away test in Eng. .... Can Curran win a test for Eng in Ind? Refresher: Did Pandya win a test for India in India. Curran has outplayed him and has looked much more potent with both bat and ball. This one of the finest allround performances we have seen from an allrounder in long long time. Link to comment

So question to you who is better?? to early to say n compare, pandya has to improve a lot n he is showing improvement by every passing game Curran test lies when he goes to Ind, SL, UAE, Aus (patta)..... Both are evry young in their career, lets compare after a point. Ppl compare Kohli n root n now the margin has grown n grown. Things change with time so to early to say anything UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

He did against Afg, where scored 70 odd iirc and Pandya has already won us the last test match so don’t know why this constant attention on him and the need to prove every time for a youngster who has just started out in Tests .... have you appreciated any of his performances?

Those weren't acceptable bowling figures by any stretch of the imagination. Cook's wicket was lucky in an otherwise terrible performance with the ball. He should have bowled more overs than Ashwin, but was too erratic for Kohli to trust. He doesn't need to do a lot. Just stick to a consistent line and length. Had absolutely no rythm today.

His first spell wasn't that bad - did you watch the game or are you just passing judgement on his "bowling figures". Of course his runs conceded are dismal and unacceptable. But that happens once in a while, and its affordable for him to 'press' and have such a bad spell when we were on top. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
zen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) For 1-2 bad overs in a 5-days game, if ppl have to post it as if it were criminal, it highlights the desperation Be happy that after a long time, Ind has some material to work with to shape in to a good AR and when the player has performed in one way or the other in every series that he has played so far Support promising youngsters Edited August 30, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay and sandeep 1 1 Link to comment

True and when they are not even experts on the subject .... many of them don’t even appreciate good performances by the player. Probably take Pandya doing well as a personal loss .... And they post desperately as if the team management is listening to us We know that Pandya is likely to get the full series and is a promising youngster so why not support him UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

VT87 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I used to hate him for his cringe worthy antics but now I’m start to liking him . He has a unique match winning ability.atleast he is trying to improve not like that fatso Ashwin who roll over ground better than ball Link to comment
