Yeah definitely no 6. Come 2027 when most retire this is my batsmen. Good thing most of them can bowl as well

 

Jaiswal

Gill

Vihari ( Pujaras role)

Pant

Shaw ( hope he gets better)

Sundar

Abhishek Sharma ( clutch player. Need more opportunities)

Riyan Parag

 

 

I hope Padikkal finds a spot there

Doh savaal:

 

(1) Must interviewers be so loud and screechy?  Arnab se lekar Boria tak.  

(2) Must interviewers preface every question with a freakkin verbal dissertation of their own?  Just state the context in <10 words and ask the damn question.    

This series win has gone out of hand. HT yesterday were asking triple h if he followed the series. 

 

On topic what Indian did was brilliant hiwever Innings pant played will come off 1 in 5 times so when (not if) he fails to do it next time please remember this innings and kind of joy it brought us. 

 

I also thought Aussies just lost it in last hr. They could have taken a negative line bowled bouncers, wide but they didn't, knowing our tails batting capabilities. Had Saini came at 10over remaining mark we would have thread after thread crucifying sundar for the **** he played.

Aussies didn't go negative because they were also looking to win.

Let’s not pick and choose among winner. Both are winners in my book. Pant has shown on more than one occasion. And Sundar had probably the perfect debut he had dreamed in his sleep. Contributed to both bat and ball. These days there is so much talent, it is not easy to get a chance to play for India.

This was the GOAT debut by an Indian player, period. 

 

Both innings super clutch with the bat, rearguard mission in 1st innings and those 2 overs of intent against Cummins on day 5 which tilted the match firmly in our favor. What this kid did on day 5, many specialist batsmen won't in their full careers. Outbowled Lyon, should have had Smith out 2/2 times if Siraj hadn't dropped that sitter on day 4. 

 

In Gill, Pant and Washi we have 3 amazing youngsters who also happen to be very clutch. Ability-wise Pant, Gill are higher but Washi is more versatile and somehow keeps surprising us, started with that Nidahas 'Player of the Tournament' performance as an 18 yo. 

Currently Washi cannot get in, he is behind in the line with Pandya, Ashwin and Jadeja taking the three spots. 

 

Either he has to become a better bowler than what he is today or significantly improve his batting, where India can think of bringing him on purely as a batsman, who can bowl

Seemed like an off spinner only but with natural variation. Like how Jaddu sometimes does.

No if you see Green he was playing for an offspinner but that pitched on middle and leg stump and hit offstump. Hussey is saying it went otherway. he bowled with offspinner grip though but that went thru like legspin. No wonder Green looked clueless.

Yes, that's why I said it was supposed to be an off spinner seeing the revs of the ball but deviated other way maybe hitting edge of seam or some other reason. Jaddu also has similar natural variations which I am not sure even if they were intending that.

Sorry but I have never seen Jaddu do it.Straightening is something but this really went other way.I have never seen a delivery like this in my life. I don't think it hit any crack.

Yes, Jaddu only straightens it but he spins his stock ball much more than Sundar. These are just my thoughts but obviously only Sundar can say what he did that delivery
