What? 

They are coaches and captain.They can just select from who is out there, they can't create players out of thin air.You question is like WI fans asking their coaches/TM why are we not seeing Malcolm Marshals and Viv Richards.

Just checked the score,  what a proper thrashing by WI. Playing with trundlers bowlers certainly not helps. 

[Straight Drive]

Hetmyer smacks another 6, this time deposits an innocuous delivery from Dubey into the stands. And a 4 next ball. Trundlers getting aptly punished.

This DUbey is such a pie bowler. I thank Hetmyer to put him in place

[vvvslaxman]

RCB bowler is thrashed by RCB batsman under RCB captain lol only difference RCB batsman is captained by MI make-shift captain.

[Norman]

This is one of the most brutal thrashings that we've took in the recent times. 

 

[putrevus]

This is reality of Dubey, if I were in TM, I would look for bowlers who can bat than batsmen who can bowl for this Team.Their bowling is needed more than their batting given Indian batting lineup is top heavy and pretty consistent.

 

Maybe guys like Mavi who can bat should be looked as options.Guy like Saini will only add to the imbalance.

If Dubey can't make it in the team on his batting alone, he shouldn't be. Pie chucker can be used to get 2-3 overs now and then but not as a 5th bowling option

Without pandya and bumrah this team looks clueless .

Also dumbo kohli has to understand that chahal and kuly have to play in tandem ,no need for jadeja 

You should see how many ICF-ers were abusive towards chahal after one bad game. Our fans deserve this thrashing. Bottom line is there aren't many wicket taking bowlers in ODI's for India. truth hurts.

[vvvslaxman]

They are showing Iyer after each four or a six

Virat is an ordinary LOI captain, you need understand that fact before going on a tangent about lack of talent. Why is the captain backing Jadhav,Jadeja ad nauseum.

We were a better catching side a few years ago. It all went down under Kohli and Shastri and his drinking buddies aka coaches

 

Edit: Catching, ground fielding and running between wickets is basic cricket. If you can't do that, then these people are useless. Get better personnel. Its not just this match. Sundar and Rohit dropped dollies in t20s recently. Kohli adn Jadeja dropped one catch. This coach has made the fielding lazy. Every team has mandatory coaching drills. If you do it everyday, it becomes like second nature. This coach must not be doing it and letting bad habits settle in to the players

Hertmyer is making rcb think.

I am thinking more like 7th or 8th bowler. Even in the two overs he bowls batsmen can target. He has absolutely nothing going for him. Tendulkar as a seamer is like 10 times better than him

[Stan AF]

Great innings from hetmyer.

[sadib10]

An incredible innings comes to an end. Well done Hetmyer  

[putrevus]

Excellent innings from Hetmyer.

[Straight Drive]

India can win this now after taking the wicket of Hetmyer.
