Yes, but we must keep playing him for another game or two. Every bowler is likely to get better after first outing and we must bank on that to get him better. Disappointed with his fitness though. I don't want to go to Ishant and Mohit back yet. Give proper chance to Avesh but he did look pedestrian tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want to see him play at the highest level soon. Probably has the best bowling action and run-up among Indian fast bowlers. Suhaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Impressed with their bowling, not so with batting. Aavesh replacing Mohit has to be permanent. Somebody has to put a move on in the middle and the onus is on Shreyas, India player. Good win, glad for them, not a supporter tho! See you in the playoffs.

Gollum Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 As pitches start seeing wear and tear, might not be a bad idea to have 3 spinners in the XI. All bring something new to the table: offie, leggie, SLA. We already have two good quicks in Rabada and Nortje. Also keep rotating the bowlers so that everyone is injury free and fresh in latter stages of the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) We have all bases covered: Best Indian batting core among all teams, not hacks....have firepower and can destroy pace/spin Most players in their prime, in their 20s Good mix of youth/experience Calm captain who also seems to be flexible, driven coach in Ponting Best keeper bat Good spin resources...with variety 2 gun quicks With Stoinis, we have 6 bowling options Bat deep, with Ashwin/Rabada/Mishra at 8/9/10 Maybe Carey comes in place of Hetmyer if the latter doesn't click. Have to finish in top 2. Edited September 26, 2020 by Gollum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeGaw Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well, biggest match of the tournament starts in a couple of hours. Maintain consistency, get Warner out quick and don't let Bairstow win it by himself. Hopefully our guys try their hardest and have fun. That's the important thing.

GeeGaw Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Didn't see the match, but based on the scorecard it looks like I didn't miss much. Apparently Rabada was his usual brilliant self but most of the others let us down - again, just going by the scorecard. Oh well, can't win them all. Get 'em next time guys.

aditya19 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 its difficult for dc to reach playoffs if dhawan and iyer continue to play selfishly.. only one of them should be there at a time on the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeGaw Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 How on earth did we lose to SRH? They along with CSK are the most boring and terrible teams in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeGaw Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Wow, what a thorough ass-whipping that was. We beat RCB like they owed us money. It's pretty clear so far that DC and MI are in a class above the rest of the team. MI may have a slight edge on overall consistency, but we can match up quite well against them. With our bowling attack we should be able to contend in every match and just need average batting to win most matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeGaw Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Terrific win to go back to the top of the table. Once again, great bowling beats great batting. This bowling attack should continue to give us a chance in every match. Loved seeing some great fielding as well. Biggest match of the tournament is Sunday against Mumbai.

GeeGaw Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 This was after the win against RCB earlier in the week. I love the tail end where Ashwin says Ponting has given him the all clear to go for mankads in the second half of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
