Lannister Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Pandya never does well whenever batsmen show aggression. It was foolish of Kohli to bring him on when Curran was new to the crease. Always rely on your specialist bowlers first to take wickets, as Pandya is just a backup option. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) pandya as a backup bowler or a backup batsman is useless in Test cricket in the long run is the argument . Depending on the situation, is he better than a specialist bowler like jadeja who can bat a bit or a specialist batsman like rohit or nairwho can bowl a bit is the discussion. I am not convinced. kohli seems to prefer pandya for now, and in this series pandya deserves his place. We need to work with him. Edited August 31, 2018 by coffee_rules UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Adi BB Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hope pandya scores a big one today or at least a 50 ,pitch is perfect for him and he has a knack of scoring crucial runs UrmiSinhaRay and Lannister 1 1 Link to comment
gakgupta Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 So with hindsight out of the way, how many times you think Pandya can pull this kinda spell, in less auspicious conditions?Which mainstream bowler can pull that kind of spell? If a mainstream bowler has a hard time pulling it off...how can you expect a all-rounder to do it on regular basis....It is a once-in-a-lifetime spell.....As long as he is economival and takes 3 to 4 wickets per match, he is okie...For him to seal his spot, he needs to be more consistent with batSent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Using him against a new batsman was poor captaincy. Lannister and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment

Frustrated Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Joker Pandya will perform with either the bat or ball once in 5 matches and will be in the team for another decade based on just that. Logic : He is a pace bowling all rounder hence should play in SENA countries. Link to comment
Tibarn Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Pandya rightfully deserves some criticism for his bowling innings. Although he got the 1 wicket, his economy of 6.31 is far higher than the next highest of 3.5 by Broad. Although the poor economy came from only a few bad overs, this match looks like a low scoring thriller, we may not even get a first innings lead from here, so those 2 bad overs by Pandya are magnified.

R.D forever Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It is not about statistics. As soon as wicket now 4 falls, we begin to fear the worse. Pandya is not giving any confidence. We really need a proper batsmen there . We did fine when dada was our no 6. Why can't we have someone like that Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Pant and Pandya walking in at #6 and #7 doesn't give any top order to play freely. We are doomed. Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 disappointed today. Expected a 40-50 runs from him or Ashwin. Both were off which hurt the team cause. Still he deserves his chances Link to comment

Well that's true, then Ashwin to follow, what a atrocious lineup,collapses are always the corner On Pandya,yet another test so far it is hard to fathom what is his strength, he was equally poor in both departments But Virat has to keep him in the loop today and not totally depend on main bowlers in the side, otherwise his utility will again be questioned Link to comment
