Another match with no wickets for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Not sure what is his role in the team. Last 15 T20s, 11 wickts@36 and grand total of 2 runs for him, but Kohli calls his a certainity for the T20 WC. 

he will get slaughtered on the flat wickets in australia,Chahar wont fare much better too.

Polly is a known patsy against googly.  You can't extrapolate based on that.  T20 on a flat track means bowlers will get hit, I'm going to trust the professionals out there that they have better plans than armchair experts on a forum spouting ponga punditry.  

 

This is not to say that short bowling is good - Chahar bowled one over in the powerplay where he was consistently and unnecessarily short.  Scroll up in the match thread and you'll find me criticizing that.  But rash blanket judgements about all spinners are just that.  rash.

I was talking about spinners. 2 wickets off the fuller deliveries. Not one. If that googly was short it would have been smashed for another six. Bowling short for spinners achieves nothing. With a fuller length and trying to spin the ball they have lot more chance of picking up a wicket.

LOL the guy has hardly played since the WC. They are forcing him to warm the benches and destroying his career in trying to 'protect him'. Dropped him from Tests and ODIs as well. Some way to reward a standout performer.

There's only 11 slots in the team. 2 for spinners, and one for a spinner who can't bat in the top 6.  Chahal edges Kuldeep, it is what it is.  Stop crying about it.

This Dubey is not an all rounder. He must click with bat and occasionally chip in with ball.

I don't think he's good enough with the bat to do that.  For me, he's a poor man's Abhishek Nayar.  Not good enough.

@Mosher Holder just dispatched a fuller delivery from Chahar over the sightscreen.  Shouldn't have been full there. He should have bowled fuller when the ball was 2-3 overs old and he was getting swing.  

Talking about spinners not pacers. Spinners bowling short is useless that was what I was pointing at.

The bowlers shown their places by the six hitting machine team called The WI.15 sixes today...15 !! Had Russell played...:fear1:

Chahar and Sundar will be tonked by most big hitters.Chahal was good and the fielding atrocious.

Unless India play a blinder,it's 1-0 WI.

If that is doing his job he should emigrate to Oman or Hong Kong, can be frontline spinner in those teams. Why don't you admit he needs to toughen up mentally? Got the talent but not the heart. 

Why should I admit your fallacy? He is one of the few spinners in the world who flights the ball after getting hit of the previous ball, doesn't resort to darts. Stop quoting one example of IPL to put across your agenda. He is one of special talents in India, who needs more game time.
