express bowling Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Poll is self explanatory. Watching Shaw and Pant bat in this test match and Rahul and Pant bat in the last test in England ... was great fun for me. Watching an old and washed up middle order bat and consolidate in the Asia Cup was frustrating. Is Indian cricket missing out on extra viewership by picking an ODI team bereft of the new-age entertaining stroke players ?

SK_IH Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 you are asking a redundant question really, answer to which is quite apparent, excluding trolls/baiters ofcourse. Its a cruel joke on us fans by selectors and Virat nevada, mani sha and Switchblade 2 1 Link to comment

I am just amazed at the huge business opportunity that is being missed out by smart minds. nevada and SK_IH 1 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Please vote ... even if you think the answer is obvious. If the answer were so obvious then why can't the cricket experts and business minds see it ? velu 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We need a mix of caution and aggression. Going towards any one of the two extremes can give disastrous results. Cricket_Fan and Switchblade 2 Link to comment
philcric Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) 11-0 so far The 2nd option will get a few votes eventually courtesy zero, tasteless bengali sweet and velu. Edited October 5, 2018 by philcric Mosher, express bowling, nevada and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Lannister Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I agree. Was looking forward to see Siraj's bowling in this Test series. What a disappointment to that end. Just go back to 5 years and the same players are still representing this Indian team now, irrespective of how poor they are currently playing. Switchblade and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment

The issue being discussed here is ... is Indian cricket missing out on a lot of viewers by filling the ODI middle order with old and washed up players ?

I see something similar regarding the new pacers too ... a lot more people are interested in watching Siraj, Nagarkoti, Mavi, Khaleel etc. bowl rather than Kaul, Shardul and Unadkat. Twitter and other sites are filled with such remarks. GolGappe and Lannister 2 Link to comment

No fan of cricket would wanna watch DK struggle to put away Afghan trundlers. As a poster above suggested, I think the management is either extremely corrupt( highly likely) or have sadomasochistic tendencies ( which I sincerely hope is not the case).

Not just a few months. So, it doesn't seem to be that obvious to the decision makers. Even during Kumble's regime, we saw Gambhir, Yuvi and Parthiv play. Preferring experienced players has been the norm for quite some time. Link to comment
