Gollum Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Make Pujara open for the rest of the series. We all understand his limitations but we need to extract the best out of him. Sick of seeing the no 4 batsman walking in to bat in the 3rd over every damn time. Pujara has shown more guts in Jo'berg and here than Rahul/Rahane/Vijay/Dhawan.....he lacks talent but in the crisis we find ourselves in he can't be dropped. Nothing much can be done any more but hopefully we have the next bunch of kids ready to take over in our next overseas cycle.....perhaps starting in Australia later this year.

What's your prediction for Aus, against the likes of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Pattinson etc. Link to comment

Aussie bowlers are fragile, we may see a depleted attack cos of injuries to some of them Taking 20 wickets even against a Smithless/Warnerless unit will be tough. We never came close to doing that in 2014-15 and even without the 2 stalwarts, mediocre Aussie batsmen feel at home on those kind of decks. Ashwin/Jadeja will be rendered useless...Kuldeep has the tools but way too raw atm, if he bowls like he did this test he will go at 10 RPO in Australia, Yasir Shah was torn to bits last time and the Pakistani has much better control. We need more incisive quicks, especially tall ones (not Ishant) who hit the seam...under Kohli regime we may see Bhuvi take the new ball on Adelaide patta supported by short 1 dimensional Shami/Umesh duo. I don't see Shastri-Kohli duo even attempting to formulate a bowling unit designed for those conditions, they will apply the same formula as India. The low IQ dimwits may even play 3 spinners, they have no clue about tactics/strategy. Edited August 13, 2018 by Gollum Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment
someone Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Short memories, a Dravid once went 40 balls without a run. There aren't any issue with SR. It's his inability to make it count. Plus, he "seems" to have a arrogant character, so that also makes it worse. You can check his interviews and he comes across as a attitude guy.. Link to comment

Allthough, it doesnt helps when we have our openers back to pavallion and then 4/40. But he got to score some runs. We need to stop questioning his place and let him do whatever he can. Bottomline is, Ou batting will suck even more without him Link to comment

shortbread Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The question is does the Indian test team need a batsman like Pujara? Pujara is 30+ and at this stage of his career it's pointless asking the guy to up the ante and try and score quickly. If Kohli and co. do not have plans for the guy in the test team do not select him in the touring squad. Link to comment
Lannister Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We seem to have more number of FTBs than any other team and the average age of the team is also very high. Just no foresight and no directions with this team. Link to comment

Cnt put a huge part of blame on kohli for pujara , he avg 26 overseas and many of those test were under dhoni Id rather blame kohli for rahane n rahul for putting their position under threats for avg players like dhawan n rohit Link to comment

I am sure if pull out stats for all bats in SENA countries in matches he played, It wont be bad compared to other bats in team. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This guy never puts away short and wide deliveries. Eats up balls. Puts pressure on the other Batsmen. And suddenyl always seems to get some unplayable ball and gets out. He has had enough sample size overseas and he has failed barring a few innings. Thats not good enough. You are a bad fielder overseas. You can't steal quick singles or turn 2s into 3s. Sorry it's not good enough. express bowling, Ankit_sharma03 and Frustrated 1 1 1 Link to comment

Only Tendulkar was more versatile , but Dravid could play all around park . Puajra is more like Paul collingwood , very limited array of of strokes especially against Pacers .
