Otherwise jadeja is avery very safe bet and has lot of experience. His fielding is pretty good too. Pandya has not convinced me that he can bowl. Tbh, Pandya has his strengths. He can indeed bowl well for someone who's not a mainstream bowler. At times he can bat too. But tests definitely is a far stretched idea. He is going to end up eating a spot of either a bowler or a batsman. He is a novelty in ODI's. If somehow he can fine tune his batting, and is able to replace a genuine batsman, then I think a case could be made for his Test inclusion. Link to comment

Problem with all the assumptions is that he has to learn something to get included. i value your opinion on merits of a pace bowler and no one knows it better than you that pace bowling is a full time job. You just need to focus on that only. Link to comment

Presently, neither his batting nor bowling merits a spot in the team. maniac, Suhaan, Khota and 1 other 4 Link to comment
nevada Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 17 hours ago, Rasgulla said: Woakes is a handy batsman, not an "all-rounder". He is picked for his bowling skill and chips in with some runs. Among all the all rounders I know of, only Ian Botham would have qualified purely as a batsman or as a bowler, and that too only if you cut off right at the peak of his career because he declined badly and scored only 1 test century in the last 6-7 years of his career. The concept of picking a player as an all-rounder is flawed. There are batsmen who are handy bowlers and vice-versa, that's it. maniac 1 Link to comment
Adamant Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Woakes is a jayant Yadav level player. He's ok ok. Link to comment

None of these players can consitently excel in both fields. Today Woakes is an all rounder, tommorow I don't know who will make the cut. nevada 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 @Ankit_sharma03 Which allrounder would have fixed this Pakistani problem of not being able to bat? Bats need to come thru for Pakistan and that is not happening. Allrounder has nothing to do with. Specialist need to deliver. Link to comment
