Ankit_sharma03 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Meanwhile Resident Kohli bhakt - We lost in SA n ENG becoz of pandya tweaker 1
zen Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Kohli is a SDP fan! When Pandya starts to bowl again, he can be useful in red ball cricket as it allows Ind to play 4 pacers + 1 spinner. Should bowl w/ a relatively new hard ball as well. On certain pitches where spinners are expected to do most of bowling, Pandya can be the 2nd pacer, allowing Ind to play 3 spinners among 4 specialist bowlers Edited December 9, 2020 by zen
Majestic Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Pandya should be told that his bowling will be essential for England, New Zealand and South African conditions and its not just about World tournament. We are already missing the balance of an all-rounder in this Australia tour, being forced to play only four bowlers.
putrevus Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Kohli is completely wrong, Pandya did not give them balance, it was elusion of balance which entices any captain. Kohli like a fool was sucked into it.Other than his flukey 6 over spell where he picked up wickets, he was rarely picking up any wickets. He was not delivering with bat either.We had Woakes on England side who scored a hundred and Sam Curran who was difference between two wins and losses. Ashwin and Jadeja provide that balance when Indian play home tests.They are frontline bowlers who are very good with bat. sorak and coffee_rules 2
Serpico Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) From what I remember in that series, we didn't have any problems getting them all out in both innings. Its our batting that cost the series. I would rather have a solid test batsman at 6. We got three important white ball trophies lined up in next three years, let Pandya focus on those and deliver his best instead of increasing workload on himself for tests Edited December 9, 2020 by Serpico coffee_rules 1
Straight Drive Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Kohli is a pretender. He himself dropped Pandya from playing 11 against Australia last year. This year he has gone further and dropped Pandya from even the test squad. Now he says Pandya gave balance to team. His selections on playing 11 and squad does not backs his words.

How is he a pretender, he gave Pandya the longest rope at the detriment of the team.
coffee_rules Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 As shown in SA and Eng, we lost the series because of poor batting. Pandya might bowl a few overs and get wickets by luck, but it is the batting we lose out on. We lost 2-1, and 4-1 to mediocre teams in SA and Eng. Unless, he consistently contributes with his bat , he will be a liability. putrevus 1

England in England is again with their allrounders is very good team. India had zero battting from lower order and openers. If they had played a regular batsman over Pandya they might have had better chance of winning that series .

SA esp was weaker as we were getting them all out sub-300 scores, but we were sub-200. In Eng, we list to Sam Curran. Rest were handled Edited December 9, 2020 by coffee_rules

They won in SA over a freak innings and AB was gone by then. You are right both in SA and England bowling did its job for majority of the time.They just got tired of carrying the weakass batting in the Oval test. Pandya along with openers was one of main reasons for the defeats. Pandya neither was good with ball nor bat. Calling him allrounder in tests is ridiculous. One flukey innings with bat and one spell with ball does not make Pandya into an allrounder. Kohli is a bigger idiot if he thinks Pandya will provide balance in test cricket. coffee_rules 1

Pandya wasn't dropped but was injured.
Gollum Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Hardik is the new Sachin/Dhoni/Kohli...not in cricketing sense but the fact that he keeps this forum alive Pro-SDP v anti-SDP faction fight night 217, bring it on!!!! Edited December 9, 2020 by Gollum Ankit_sharma03 and coffee_rules 2

Gollum Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 @zen quick question. Is it SDP now because he ain't bowling? Once he resumes bowling duty will he be rechristened as SSP (Sir Sobers Pandya)?
putrevus Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 2 minutes ago, rkt.india said: Pandya scored as many as specialist batsmen. What kind of logic is that, If specialist batsmen don't do the job kick them out. Don't use that as an excuse to play a guy like Pandya.
