Oldhere Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Kid has shut up a lot of ex players like holding, manjerkar, chopra, gavaskar. Also, we need to appreciate Kohli nd Shastri here as today they proved y we need 5 bowlers with Ashwin’s injury. If it wld have been a batsmen instead of Pandya, Eng would still have been batting something which we always faced outside India. Adi BB, diehardpacer, Cricketics and 4 others 1 1 5 Link to comment

Adi BB Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 5 wkts in just 6 overs! Had he got some more we could have seen a broadesque spell here lol . his speed was up throughout the spell and he looked determined right from when given the ball .Happy that kohli used him well and trusted him zen, Switchblade and express bowling 3 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Bowled brilliantly, and he performed really well today. back to back wickets in test matches really hurt Enand nd his that spell really helped put pressure on England and helped us get this big lead. Hopefully he can take this into his batting. raki05 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 One of the best spell of fast bowling in recent times. asterix 1 Link to comment
Samcric Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Have not been this happy in a while to have been proven wrong! I could have perhaps expected a 50, even a 100, with bat. But 5-for was totally unexpected. That too swing and not just seam. Honestly didn't know he could bowl this well. raki05, zen and philcric 3 Link to comment

Now discard Shardul and bring in Rajpoot and Siraj as replacement. Then we'd have the quickest overall attack. Rajpoot could have been great here swinging the ball as he does. Link to comment
putrevus Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Bravo, one of best bowling spells by an Indian fast bowler. picking fifers is what wins matches for your team. Hope this is the start of Pandya the bowler. raki05 1 Link to comment

Rajpoot is far more consistent and gets bounce. Shami can be quicker but Rajpoot is quick enough and his accuracy compensates for a few Ks. Link to comment
Sgattick10 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Great bowling effort by Pandya, this could be the turning point in bowling career. Botham said Indian pacers were muvh more quicker then English bowlers in this match, nice to hear that. express bowling and ThePhenomenal1 2 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) 5 wickets in 29 balls. Imagine if Ashwin was fit, he might not got the ball as early as he did today. This has been the problem people talk about not getting wickets but they don't see he barely gets to bowl when ball is still hard and doing something. He got today after Ashwin was unavailable after lunch. Edited August 19, 2018 by rkt.india zen, asterix, chewy and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Thats what irks me He is young and he wud be into fashion like others of his age. I never understood how does tattoo, clothes, hairstyle affect someone perfomance. Kohli was told same in earlier days I remeber once Aakash chopra telling this that they told young dhoni on A-tour that "ye sab hairstyle Indian cricket men nhin chalenge" Most ppl act like those oldies who have nothing to do but jst to give advice..... As kohli once said it , dnt watch players tattoo's watch his perfomance. diehardpacer and express bowling 2 Link to comment

KeyboardWarrior Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Good. but i still have doubts on his bowling performance. Link to comment

Dada....you witnessed it first hand in the CT 2017 final. Only guy who kept trying. His off-field flashiness probably irks people.Agree... also, there’s a general hate towards Gujjus... I don’t know why? Could be because of Modi or Jaddu or them being mostly successful as entrepreneurs/businessmen.In my case, I’ve said nasty things of him being Gujju and MI being a Gujju promoting team... I can’t say about others. I think there’s but if Gujju hate does goes around...That aside, both the brothers are talented and I’m sure both will do well for team India in various formats, in future... raki05 and beetle 1 1 Link to comment
Brainfade Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 5 hours ago, zen said: what a journey for the young cricketer .... unnecessarily hated for his swag, criticized despite performing well relatively .... the guy is one of the most well behaved cricketers on the field and looks to punch above his weight while bringing the never say die spirit to the team In his short test career, has hit 1 100, along with other 50+ scores, and picked up a 5-fer, along with a couple of 3 wkts hauls .... In terms of bowling, bowled only 10 overs in the first test, was the 2nd best bowler in the 2nd test, and now the best bowler in this test .... in batting, it was good to see him try to play as per the situation, leave balls, take blows on the body, etc. .... he is a constantly improving cricketer atm! Now we might hear "see see I told you the blue hair and bling was the problem. Sanskaari haircut equals sanskaari bowling." tweaker 1 Link to comment
