SK_IH Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Early thoughts, really happy Kuldeep is playing, not happy with 2-2 combo.If the captain was forced to do this , then surely there should be questions answered. Link to comment

Yes, Kuldeep will probably come up a cropper on these pitches. he bowls too slow and erratically (in Tests) to be successful for the time being (can improve with experience) - maybe he can pick up a few wkts initially because of novelty factor.

But thankfully we are batting first and this not a drop in wicket. So there will be wear and tear for kuldeep to exploit Edited January 3, 2019 by Insidious Link to comment

Or do they bank on Rahul coming good in one customary innings every series? I don't understand the thought process. There is no though/planning. knee jerk is more like it. Link to comment

There it is a battle of attrition. one as a bowler has to be patient and consistent to succeed, which i dont think Kuldeep has at this point. Neither pacers nor spinners get a lot of purchase from the wickets. Kuldeep will dish out boundary balls frequently. Link to comment

Kuldeep is quality, dont think he even bowls that many loose balls in LOIs. And the Aus batsman themsleves dont belive in attritional cricket, they will take him on if they read him Link to comment

Real McCoy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Having so many injuries reported this series, I suspect "niggle" is a term used rather than "rested" in previous eras Link to comment
