India vs West Indies 3rd t20 at Mumbai

[raki05]

Knuckle koomar was the biggest mistake of wc sf before Shami. He dint pick wkt upfront and released all the pressure created by bumrah.

Bhuvi has to go, he cannot stop onslaught by batsmen anyhow, he is not picking up any wickets with swing upfront.

I kinda agree with you, he should not be a certainty anymore. He has stagnated.

We got 240 here.. it was an aberration.. not always we will end up getting 240.. however if we had ended up getting 180-200 (wiz we will get onto more often) then seriously we could hv lost this game for good.. with this innocuous bowling.. our only hope is a fit & inform bumrah.. rest all don't inspire any confidence.

On this pitch and boundaries against such line up, the effort is good enough. The grounds in australia would be bigger and ind will be at advantage.

If he does not pick up wickets, he is liability in t20s as he cannot use long hand if needed, odis it is different, he might be handy with bat when chasing small totals.

Yup. While the batting was awesome, we need to have a good bowling unit too. This phatichar bowling puts extra pressure on the batsmen to score more runs.

He is someone anyone can line up against. Not confident enough even to attempt yorkers.

They have to get these reviews correct. Consistently appealing for balls pitched outside the leg stump.

Phuddu was the bigger match ka mujrim, although the biggest culprit was you know who!

And Jadeja too.

I am not at all pleased with this bowling lineup.I would play only Kuldeep and Shami .They need to find one fast bowler to supplement Bumrah. Chahar has done nothing wrong but don't know he is long term answer.

In T20 any bowler can go for runs. But we need someone who is mentally strong and even under attack.  It is an unforgiving format for bowlers.

West Indies today didn't had services of evin lewis owning to that injury.. he was the chief tormenter upfront in previous game.. 

 

Even in Australia pitches will be flat as road.. & boundary rope certainly will come inside for a fair degree.. so that variable will be same for all teams equally.. however this bowling line up sans bumrah don't invoke any confidence of defending any score below 200.

Still defending a total in Oz is relatively easier, unless of course there's massive dew. The bounce helps bowlers against some of the rising shots, hit on the up, & most cross batted shots provided they're not bowling half trackers. The extra bounce also helps spinners a lot. In places like the MCG ropes pulled in would still be 20-30m further than pea sized grounds like Kotla or Wankede!

Same as my view. The only threat in aus for us would be aus and eng. I think we should play bhuvaneswer shami bumrah with pandya, keep up a slip throughout powerplay and look for wickets.

Mentally strong without ability is of no use.

@speedheat the trundler Bhuvi saved another trundler Chahar from beizzati

Just imagine these two 130kph teletubbies  against Warner and finch on flat Adelaide wicket in a t20 wc next year!!

We have to desperately look at Shreyas Gopal. He is perfect for this format, much quicker and flatter through the air and very smart as well. Spinners who flight the ball too much might pick you wickets but they also are at a greater risk of getting smashed.

Plus his flipper is terrific and can bat and field as well. Would tick a lot of boxes.

[SecondSlip]

Navdeep Saini, Shreyas Gopal & Rahul Chahar bowled very well in the IPL. They should be given chances in the T20 series against Sri Lanka in January. 
 

We need to create back ups if the likes of Chahal, Bhuvi & Jadeja keep screwing up!
