sandsaims Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Shreyas Iyer is just not good enough, does well against weaker teams like almost anyone would but against good attacks he is really poor. Talks a big game but just doesnt perform in the middle. SrinjayDutta 1 Link to comment

Fool Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 7 minutes ago, Sandeep99 said: We don't need a perfect team. We want right guys to be rewarded with selections. Probably it's new to you but not all talented youngsters are selected in this part of the world. If they are, our useless captain ensures they don't settle in by killing their confidence. No im well aware of that. I just dont wanna come in here as an aussie saying those things, as i know ill upset some people by doing that. In last game thread i did make a couple of comments that the current system india are running is detrimental to the development of a team. And a captain should never have team selection power... or at least not too much. Because it creates complacency from those you depend on, when they know they wont get dropped by "their buddy". Fear for position creates a drive to perform. Your mate shouldnt have power to save you if you dont perform Hakuna Matata, sandsaims, sergio04 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Manjrekar would be proud of Iyer... very similar batsmen... mediocre to the core and can score only against weak attacks. sandsaims, Sgattick10 and express bowling 2 1 Link to comment

Iyer should get his eye in quickly and start hitting spinners. But Iyer is looking shaky against zampa...and just as i was typing this, he's gone. Worse is Kohli's shaking of the head reaction, which hints that Iyer might have fallen out of captain's goodbooks, again (first time was when he was dropped after 1-2 failures in SA).

raki05 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 How come these morons gives wkt to champa.... An average bowler, any previous era batsmen would have eaten him alive. Earlier i thought our batsmens are bad against offie but now new found love with leggie is really concerning. express bowling and Real McCoy 1 1 Link to comment
Hakuna Matata Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 6 minutes ago, Cricwala said: Yes, we can see that or see how quickly KL bats up front. All depends on team requirements, if KL can attack from get go, maybe Rohit needn't have played that slog sweep and cld be around to kick off around now? Not taking away from Dhawan's knock, but this relatively risk-free model of our top 3 in first 25 overs does have serious downsides against strong teams. How quickly kl bats up front - never seen that happen in odis.. If you have seen worldcup it's always Rohit who took the aggressor role while Rahul batted at 70's SR. I agree our top 3 approach should change . It happens only when our middle order is set. Link to comment

Stan AF Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Sanju manju was noting that the top 3 have played 70+ innings in their respective positions since 2015 in ODI's. But the maximum any player has played in #4 is rayudu who has played only 14 knocks in that position and dropped thereafter. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Forward Defence Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Good chance for Rahul to exact revenge for what Starc did to him in Australia Link to comment
Cricwala Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Australia has stuck with Zampa as No. 1 ODI bowler, despite some ordinary performances...so he's developed confidence that he belongs, and now he keeps coming at you, even if he gets hit in some over. He doesn't have any special delivery, just good control. No batting or fielding talent to speak of either Here, we broke an uber-successful KulCha pair just on a whim, to strengthen lower order batting (needed, because of middle order muddle), and now both Kuldeep and Chahal look unsure about their bowling.
