Wow Take out Ash-Jaddu, India has no finger spinners.

I don't know who Goku and Vegeta are, but loved this post anyway :-)!!

Characters from Dragon Ball (OS, Z, GT, Super.....), anime, huge franchise.

Goku is the Japanese Superman, Vegeta well I can't think of an equivalent but he is one of the most iconic anime characters with a much deeper character arch than Goku.

Looked up the first day first test from 2016: 

 

https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-full-commentary/16868/ind-vs-eng-1st-test-england-tour-of-india-2016-17

 

Score after 93 overs
ENG 311-4 

 

Bowlers: Shami Yadav Ashwin Jadeja Mishra

 

Quite an overreaction to make judgements based on day one. Sure we don't have ATGs sitting on the sidelines but lets see how Sundar/Nadeem/Kuldeep fare after some games.

Only morons like Manju disrespect Jadeja. He is one of best spinners in India better than Bishen Bedi as he has that ability to extract life from a flat pitch. I don't think Axar or nadeem are even 10% Jadeja. That said Nadeem has to do better, this has to be one of the worst performance by spinner in India.

Last time we played a test at Chennai, an Indian spinner had these returns 1/151 and 0/56...

Is Bhargav Bhatt from Baroda good?

So what is your point. Do you know why he had those figures and what happened to him before that test.  How is it related to Jadeja.

No genius, I was responding to your usual factually hollow post.

Was good 6-7 years ago. Was always behind first Pragyan Ojha and later Jaddu in the pecking order of SLAs. 

 

Besides Saurabh Kunar, 31 year old Aditya Sarware of Vidarbha has been a leading wicket taker and won Vidarbha the Ranji trophy a couple of seasons back. He is a decent batsman as well. 1300 runs@28 with 2 FC 100s and 184 wickets@20 in 41 matches. A tall classical SLA

Stick to cheerleading and abusing new players. That definitely is one thing you are good that.

Though OP has a point, replacing Ash-Jaddu won't be easy. We take these 2 legends for granted, we take our insane home dominance for granted, inferiority complex ridden neech Indians will parrot Baki, Sky lines to underplay our feats, our guys, our home record etc...*ing clowns. 

 

We may not see another duo like this playing for India for another 20 years, enjoy while it lasts. Both complement each other so beautifully, one of the greatest joys in cricket is watching them in tandem. While individually both are great, what they do as a combo is even better, like Goku-Vegeta fusion. 

 

And what's with this silly underrating of Jaddu, granted he is more in the McGrath or Kumble mode and I fully understand that such kind of bowling may not be the most exciting spectacle for majority viewers, but doing what they do is so tough and underappreciated. Ashwin is a Viper, but Jaddu the Boa Constrictor has his own method to strangulate batsmen, damn effective. Not even going to debate about his status in Indian cricket since it is so disrespectful, but even for his worst critics he will be part of AT Indian squad by the time he is done and probably the only Indian cricketer worthy enough to replace Kapil in certain conditions. 

well said.. sometimes you need to miss the person in order to know their value

Jadeja is being missed here.

 

2017, Chennai Test vs England

 

England batted first scored 480

 

Moeen 146

Root 88

 

Ashwin 1-151

Jadeja 3-105

 

India batted then and got 759-7.

 

England batted and were all out for 220 odd

 

Jadeja 7-48

Ashwin 0-56

 

Overall,

Jadeja 10-151

Ashwin 0-207

Talk about overreaction 

 

Just day 1 of a 4 test series, super flat conditions against one of the all time greats against spin at his peak. Seriously though Smith, Root and Pujara are 3 modern day greats as capable against spin as the likes of Viru, Sanga, Lara, Younis etc. Opponents won't roll over, and that makes the contest so much more exiting. Credit to England, they have come well prepared with that series in SL, long enough to get used to spinning conditions but not too draining. Far better than 13 vs 13 warmups against Board President's team or India A. 

 

We will come back stronger and on this patta, good luck bowling to Rohit, Gill, Che, VK, Pant.....

The pitch was pathetic. Umesh shami not there is tee off early against Root. It was bound to happen.

Washington and Nadeem. Really?
 
Don’t rate Axar the darter either but after Jadeja’s success never say never.
 
Where is the rich legacy of spinners?

Are all darters successful? Only clever ones are. And the darter if he is the best fielder in the world and very very handy with the bat, what else u need? Axar is never in that league and is also injury prone.

last player who didn't get a cap get the opportunity in another do or die game with immense pressure and that's not how you build and groom talent.

That's exactly why 99% of ICF wants Kohli gone from the captaincy, except a handful of chirkuts & PR brigade!
