sandeep Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Sooda said: Totally agree with your overall point, not nearly enough opportunities given to younger players when their can and should be... but not sure about this, in the end it was our ordinary middle and lower order that cost us it as we always knew it would....it was there that more opportunities should have been given to other contenders Well, our problems with the middle and lower order were well known for years - Hardik Pandya's emergence mitigated the lower order issue to an extent. But the team should have done a much more effective job at addressing the hole in the middle order. Guys like KL Rahul, Karthik, Rayudu, Shankar, Iyer, Rishabh, whoever - should have gotten a dozen games each starting in 2017 - not just in the middle order, but at #3 and #4. So that they would have had opportunities to build long innings and personal confidence. Come the WC semi-final, we ask guys like Rishabh, Rahul, Karthik etc to win us the game, but they had not gotten the experience they needed. They were not put in positions that gave them best chance to succeed. They were treated as 2nd class accessories, to be used and thrown around the line-up as and when required.

vvvslaxman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Among the young guys Gill looks like more of a complete batsman than most of the other guys. I think he deserves the longest rope among youngsters. express bowling 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 If i may say so Pant's unnatural game (which he played in Tests) will make him a permanent fixture than his natural game. Even in Tests in Australia every time he brought up his "natural game" he got out to Lyon or someone else. Dhoni when he started out hitting sixes for fun and always showed intent. Moment he became the captain he started playing percentage cricket. Always hard to dismiss him in the one dayers. I think Pant has such a game. Pant needs some tinkering. His off-balance natural game can invite more scrutiny. For one thing he has no concept of placement. That is the most important thing for risky stroke players. Even if you miscue it won't get to fielders. He has to develop a stable stroke play. Link to comment
express bowling Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Khaleel Ahmed went back to bowling using his original style in the 3rd T20I ... that is hitting the deck hard at 137 k to 145 k while trying to hit a good length usually ... and not bowling too many slower balls or trying too many variations. He kept things simple for a change. Result ... excellent economy rate of 6.75 in a T20 ... could have had a wicket when an easy catch lobbed off a good surprise bouncer but there was no one to catch it. This should be thè way forward for him and he will gain confidence. And he will pick more skills with time as he plays more. Edited November 12, 2019 by express bowling Suhaan 1 Link to comment
