rtmohanlal Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 nice to see the back of samson ... just can't stand him...... Link to comment
Norman Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Samson is not doing himself any favours here. If he doesn't play a special knock in the 5th, I think this will be the last we see of him for a long time. Forward Defence and Cricspin 2 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Guys like Pant, Samason have to develop all round game like KL Rahul who is a 360 degree player. If your mind is set on clearing only staight boundary and long boundary you are going to pick the wrong ball to play the shot in that area and get out. React to the ball. Don't play with preconceived mindset. bowl_out and Sgattick10 2 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Can't understand this hitting a six of every ball thought process. Youngsters who come need to find their feet at the international level and not become a hero every ball. Edited January 31, 2020 by bowl_out Link to comment

These are fundamentals. Reacting to the ball. No wonder he has such a low domestic average. Link to comment
RajBan Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just now, bowl_out said: What a wasted opportunity Samson. Threw it away. To be fair never understood the hype with Samson. He is a good talent but always suffers from immaturity and inconsistency. I won't put him in the same class of Shaw and Gill yet. I am disappointed to see Samson getting chance ahead of Pant but not surprised because TM is playing high level politics here. Ideally for the last two T20s both shod have played, does not add any value by playing either of Rohit and Kohli. Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This team is still too strong. We could have rotated a bit more for this match. Kohli and bumrah in particular didn't need to play. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Either these guys have poor shot selection (samson) or not skillful (dubey) or mental midgets (KKD) raki05 1 Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Samson may or may not be good enough but it's a shame he failed today. His low percentage style of batting can only suit t20s, wish he had scored at least 30 runs at a good sr before perishing. Edited January 31, 2020 by rollingstoned raki05 1 Link to comment

You cannot play the same type of shot regardless of the length Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Lolhi gone now. May be a blessing in disguise to test our middle and lower order. Link to comment
Vickydev Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Good Kohli gone. Went for stat padding against the NZ b attack instead of giving chance to Pant. Well deserved. nevada, Stan AF, raki05 and 5 others 1 1 6 Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Now we'll see how far the middle order has come. Good contest. Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Situations like these will raise Rahul's game too. Now he will play with more responsibility. Good for Indian cricket. sergio04 and raki05 2 Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Good wicket, Rohit rested, Rat gone. Perfect test for the middle order. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 India should also look to promote Sundar ahead of Dubey at #6. He is too good a batsman wasted down at #8. Stan AF 1 Link to comment

Try again going on youtube cricbuzz channel.90% of their chat was about how they reject player rather select them. Both of em are as fried as us with these inconsistcies with selection as now they say in every show Mosher and raki05 1 1 Link to comment
