Mariyam Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Bumrah taking it easy on fellow fast bowler Jofrah with whose name he coincidentally shares a rhyme metre too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowl_out Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Place Faf and Pollard at long off and long on and see 30 runs saved and 4 catches taken every match.. Unfortunately, they play for different teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 For all those hating on Pollard, this is exactly what he can do. Handy bowler who takes crucial wickets And he gives it all while fielding And he can score big. Quickly at that.

You do not keep benching a young kid after random one off chances. Especially if you are asking him to open. That's a high pressure high responsibility role, and then you yank him after a couple of failures? All you are doing is attacking his self-belief. Either you believe in his ability enough to have him open, and in that case, you give him at least 4 games in a row in that slot. Or you don't, and you deploy him differently. While I agree with you as a fan but unfortunately franchisees have to look at winning. This is a business after all. They will put their interests above grooming youngsters.

aditya19 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 pollard is lucky that only his side has the best pacers in the tournament.. only delhi and mumbai have a good attack.. rest sides mostly have trundlers + spin based attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a business after all. They will put their interests above grooming youngsters. Sorry, but its in the team's interest to get most value out of the players they have paid for. You are mixing 2 separate things - accountability is fine, haphazard inconsistency in assigning roles is not. If its a "business" then the person to be held "accountable" is the moron in charge of making those decisions that do not put players in position that increase their probability of success. This is not to say that Jaiswal deserves x number of games - maybe he doesn't. But if you are going to have him open, then stick with him in that slot for a few games. Even a shithouse like Dotball D'arcy Short was given an extended run by an IPL team. Suhaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 won comprehensively on my match thread. I have attended two games at the Wankhede where MI lost to RR. And one at Sawai Mansingh stadium where also MI lost ( actually I don't clearly remember). Exoneration of sorts, for me. asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
