What a huge difference Jadeja has turned out to be!

[Trichromatic]

Faced 159 deliveries - haven't seen better than our no 7 in difficult coditions in recent times.

 

We are one bowler down and hardly missing that.

 

Gajab 200% contribution.

[RAZPOR]

he is actually looking like a genuine bat,for the first time in his career.

Great improvement.

We can actually play him at 6.

Genuine test A/R, in the Stokes/Holder/Shakib class. Should always be in the first XI, he is my #7 in every condition. Hope he is talked about in the same breath as Kapil by the end of his career.

People talk about the mid-late 70s to 80s A/R quartet: Hadlee, Kapil, Imran, Botham. All ICC HOFers and surely top 2-3 cricketers from their respective countries....certified ATGs of the sport. 

 

Must say this era is developing its own quartet of Stokes, Holder, Jadeja, Shakib. May not be as legendary as the 80s guys but damn good all these 4 guys, with a few more years to build their resume and legacy.

 

A pity that guys like Angelo, Broad, Ashwin, Starc failed to develop as genuine test A/Rs despite potential...became more of specialists, imagine had they maintained their early career form/trajectory in their weaker disciplines, what an era this would have been!!!! 

 

Woakes, CdG, Moeen are too old now to enter conversation, and their ceiling was never high.

 

Cummins, Jamieson, Pandya, Santner, Chase, Curran still have age on their side, won't rule out one of these guys entering that esteemed club. IMO Cummins has the best shot, # 1 ranked bowler in the world with a higher peak rating than McGrath, has ability with the bat, can have a Hadlee like career.

He is the MVP of Indian team.

he has limited shots but no obvious weakness .. good test bat

 

 

anyway groomed by none other than thala himself

 

 

[Ajju]

Dhoni is reason behind his sucess

Agree but Woakes is maybe of Jadeja's age.  Very useful guy to have in England.  Won them a test vs Pak this summer with the bat.  Dude easily gets overshadowed by the likes of Stokes & may walk as an A/R in most teams.  Heavily underrated.

Jadeja, lolli and Rohit are the legacy of Thala. What's the legacy of lolli?

Gifting his bat to padosi match fixer, amir?

[Lone Wolf]

A great addition to a brittle batting line up..  Fortunately a left hander.  Cummins looked toothless against him with the ball.  Only Starc & Lyon were threat but he played them well.  Overall Aussies struggled to bowl well to him compared to our plethora of right handers.

He has started fulfilling his potential only recently. Even in IPL he has started hitting from ball 1. His mindset has changed. Looks good at the moment.

it's almost 2021. how far back do you want to go, Dec 2016 good enough? batting average 49 since then

[express bowling]

.... Scoring runs in SENA in tough batting conditions 

 

.... Spending time at the crease and handling both channel deliveries and short balls well

 

.... Picking wickets in SENA 

 

.... Gun fielder

 

 

Should play every test match for India from now on ... home and away.

His biggest challenge would be staying fit. Such tall guys keep getting injured while bowling unless they are black.

Has had his share of luck debuting under Dhoni/Srikkanth who backed him to the hilt, maybe CSK link. Any other captain (in the history of cricket) and his international career would have ended in 2010-11 with no chance in tests as well. Wonder how many great players have been lost worldwide cos they didn't get backing from their captains and system.
