Ind-Eng series 2021-Moeen Ali the nemesis watch

Indian batting have issues with darter type spinners at home- Okeefe, Panesar, Harris,Clarke and a few others 

 

Ali is good enough batsman  to open the batting in SC conditions in fact his batting was very highly rated initially which didn’t live up to the hype.

 

He will be the biggest thorn in the flesh  this series. Not Root,Stokes, Butler,Bairstow, Woakes,Anderson,Brosd but this guy.

 

Watch out for him.

He failed last time also when he came to india. Its a diff ball game when u have sg ball in hand 


So England has no analysts, plans and don’t prepare or practice?

 

He has all the tools to succeed in India more than Woakes and Stokes the bowler.

 

Dangerous player

it comes down to him and his practice with SG, reason our spinner struggled overseas is coz they also find it tough to grip kookabura or duke and it takes them few tours.

Moeen ali is far less skill full then kumble n ashwin

Dangerous but has many loopholes like bouncers. Luckily for him Shami n umesh arent playing but bumrah is still there

You think India will just watch Moeen ball and not plan for him. Lol works both ways. 

 

They have a plan in place for root and stokes too. Their 2 batsmen.

Shmai Umesh definitely not playing? Damn. But bumrah is going to play in his hometown so I think it's still going to be extremely hard for England. But with Umesh and Shami out maybe 2 0 India.

of course not but my point was all things neutralized, he is actually a very dangerous player who is probably the best suited to these conditions. I know he is not a Pakistani from Pakistan but he looks more like a SC born and bred player with bat,ball as well as his lethargic fielding.

there is Siraj whose SG ball game is very good but only if he is played. I think kohli will prefer ishant who isnt a same force on indian pitches with SG ball

I think mooen is going to get destroyed this time as well. Not only in bowling, even in batting. India is far better in bowling compared to last time when England played in 2016.

Moen's effectiveness depends a lot on how we decide to play him remember Sharma holing out to Lyon the last test? Well that's exactly how he got out against the overrated guy in 3rd test England 2014, that was the slide which lost us the game & eventually the series :facepalm:

 

66.2 how abominably awful! He is bent over his bat at the crease, depicting poignant disappointment but this was a seriously poor shot. Came down and lifted a tame delivery right down mid-off's throat when England were trying to give their main bowlers a breather. And tea was barely five minutes away 210/5

A lot of Moen's wickets have been the batter taking him on, he was ineffective last time in India because we didn't need to & decided we shouldn't gift him easy wickets!

Also, its the constant pressure from seamers at the other end who help him pick wickets in Eng. Doesnt happen in India.

Moeen is woefully out of form, he has 5 half centuries and zero 100s in last 4 years (over 23 test matches). He won't be in the starting XI for sure. Maybe if leach/bess underperforms at chennai, he will get in for last two matches

Same was said in 2016 as well..  I guess he was going through a lean patch with the bat then (not as much as this time)  still he struck a ton & managed to do well somehow.

One word: EGO. Many a cases India has lost a test due to batsmens ego of pulling out shots against spinners and to dominate. The biggest example other than the above + all of Rohits crazy dismissals is

 

1. Saha. Adelaide test 2014. He hit a six of Lyon. Virat was going great other end. He couldnt control his ego and went for another six. We lost the test we lost the series

 

2. 2nd Test Mumbai. 2012. India trailing by only 86 runs. England to bat last. We had Ashwin, Ojha, Harbhajan and Yuvraj Singh in our ranks. We just need to be patient, score 260 odd and give England a target of 150 to chase on a Day 5 crumbling pitch. 
 

 

20.2 oh my goodness! What has Kohli done! A big full toss from Swann and he's slapped it straight to mid-off. Came off towards the bottom of the bat as it twisted in his hands. The ground goes silent. No one can really believe they've seen that. Joe Root, on as sub, is the man to take the catch 65/4


India all out for 142. England tie the series 1-1 and go on to win it 2-1

 

Just bloody curb the ego and play the ball as per merit.. you ll anyways get a bad ball to hit for 4. Start attacking and dominating after you reach 50.
