India missed a 5th bowling option?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Looking at the woeful load sharing by Indian seamers, it was all up to Ashwin and Jadeja to get the 10 wickets with no break. Some of these guys know Indian conditions inside out. This is a flat wicket. They made the most of it. I can't help wondering what a 5th bowilng option could have done here.

Even kuldeep wud have struggled, he always had on such pitches which are slow 

It helps the main spinners as well. Ashwin looked tired after bowling 10 on the trot

I can understand in overseas as pacer do bulk of bowling their so they need rest and our part timers arent meant for overseas also 

Spinner can bowl many overs at home n if needed a break a part timer is enough ......today shami looked like having a niggle so he never bowled a long spell

Rohit bowled a brilliant maiden over today :)

Rohit used to bowl before, suddenly left it altogether

Wonder ,did he left bowling for injury?

Had he bowled he would have made a very good allrounder

How did Vihari bowl?  I never saw his bowling.They do need a fifth bowling option for this team who could take wickets especially if wickets for this series are flat.We do miss guys like Sachin or Sehwag.Sachin could bowl anything.

ok ok, it was a slow pitch so it wasnt easy to bowl as well

Shami wasnt that good due to niggle that was the issue

Sehwag n sachin were gifted with their bowling as well....i dnt see any such option. Infact their are very batsman in line for Indian team who can bowl a bit . Even ganguly on some pitches was very handy

India is producing very one dimensional players.That has been the bane for this team as it is never balanced .

its around the world only.....part timers arent much in fashion now 

unless u develop some mystery like jadhav did or a few variation like how root has done now. Battings skills are very high in terms of attacking game which is why they dont leave part timers now and teams opt for player who can bowl 80% quota every day rather being part timers

Shoulder issues. Also he is one of the greatest 6 hitters to ever play the game and with 6 hitting ability comes back problems as well.

 

Guys like Gayle and Russell breakdown at the drop of a hat every couple of months for a reason.

 

This takes a toll on bowling.

Not only one dimensional players when it comes to cricketing skills but also overall adaptability. Rahane and Pujara suck at LOI’s. Ishant,Ashwin,Umesh LOI career is done. Dhawan is good on odi and sucks in the other 2 formats. Rahul is good in T20 but sucks in the other 2 formats. Bhuvi is good in tests and t20

but sucks in ODIs etc etc

I don't think so. I think Umesh should've played over Ishant based on his home record. Shami also seemed to pick up a bit of a niggle during the innings. Nothing agaisnt IShant, but he hasn't proven his ability at home yet.

Has a dodgy back. Better not to risk him else he was a handy off spinner, IIRC even has a IPL hattrick.
