Popular Post Gollum Posted March 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 “I don’t understand why people are surprised at his batting. I have been hearing. He can face the new ball. But we are ready for whatever the Indian team asks him to do,” his father M. Sundar, who had mixed feelings, told IANS. “What I am really disappointed about are the tailenders. They couldn’t stay on for even a brief while. Suppose India were playing, needing 10 runs to win, wouldn’t this have been a huge mistake. There are millions of youngsters watching, they shouldn’t learn what the tail-enders did,” he said. Ishant Sharma was leg-before while Siraj was bowled as he backed away. “It is not about technique or skills. It was a matter of courage. England were tired, Stokes was bowling at 123-126. They were not bowling at lethal pace.” LINK Washi's appa is always so blunt and entertaining. Young Washi wasn't too fussed missing out on a well deserved 100, dad with no filter.....I think he will even scold Kohli if he feels his son is wronged by him. Half the talk on SM was about Washi's papa, truly the people's champion. What do you guys think @Real McCoy @I6MTW @Cricketics will Mr. Sundar develop into Srdjan Ddjokovic of the cricket world?

DeepSpace Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It is true tailenders could have done a bit more. But no worries, papa. Your son has grabbed the chance given and cashed in. He is barely past his puberty. Focus on what he can do in the future. Not what has happened in the past. Link to comment
Suhaan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I can understand,i felt like slapping Ishant for his such irresponsible shot Siraj too played rash could have stayed but he is a newcomer ,Ishant is the real culprit Real McCoy, SK_IH, express bowling and 4 others 7 Link to comment

Texan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) People like Ishant and Siraj need to be taught how to get behind the line of the ball. It is very basic and every international player must know this. The bowling was not threatening at all. There is a gulf of difference between our numbers 10 and 11 and the rest of the World. Jimmy Anderson, who has been England's number 11 for the last decade once put together almost a double hundred partnership for the last wicket (against India). Jason Gillespie, who was Australia's number 10 or 11 during his career scored a double hundred of his own. I am not asking that they learn to bat like Ashwin or Sundar, but they need to be able to hang on when bowling is ordinary. What use is the coach if these guys cannot even judge the line of a straight gentle medium pace ball. Edited March 6, 2021 by Texan raki05 1 Link to comment

He averages 30+ balls per dismissal and that's great for him. kirkutfan and sandeep 2 Link to comment

Sorry but he is coming across as a moron who is miffed that his son missed out on a personal milestone. Sundar is good enough he will score many more 100s. beetle and sandeep 2 Link to comment
Gollum Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Mr. Sundar is the chosen one. He is what Yuvi's dad should have been. Unfortunately Yograj went full retard with his gaalis, conspiracy theories, crass and loud dehati demanour, political nonsense etc. Maybe Sundar's dad will be the refined version of Yograj, speak his mind freely and without restraint, engage with media consistently and who knows an appearance in Big Boss in the future. Washi is 3 tests old, by the time he plays 40-50 tests his father will be even more emboldened before media , speaks like a regular ICFer but before a much wider/larger audience. Cricket could do with some characters, unfortunately the parents of international cricketers mostly stay hidden. Outspoken and hyper tennis dads, boxing dads, wrestling dads, heck even Kamsky's dad added and still continue to add so much more fun to respective sports. Why should cricket be left behind?

Legend with his cricketer son More like Tony Nadal??? But ya decent comparison with Srdjan Djoker. Honestly. I don't like these interviews of parents being highlighted by Media. The guy has great patience which he has showed in both Australia and now home. Hoping whoever is coaching him, just continues worrk on that.He is a mighty find for India. Link to comment

His record doesn't compare favorably to numbers 10 and 11 from other leading Test countries. Using the most recent Test played, here are the averages of numbers 10 and 11 from other leading Test playing nations: Australia: Lyon (12.2) and Hazlewood (12) England: Leach (13.6) and Anderson (9.5) New Zealand: Henry (18.6) and Boult (15.1) South Africa: Rabada (11.2) and Nortje (7.4) Ishant: 8.2 Only Nortje of SA is below him and Nortje has only played 10 Tests (in FC, his average is 13+ with 4 v 50s, so I expect his Test record to get better). In order to compete with other top cricketing nations, we should look to at least match their records if not exceed them. Link to comment

Our telegram group was full of WTFs when they got out. Yeah, agree with the sentiment. He can say that to his wife or daughter. But it doesn't reflect well saying it to the media. He needs to learn to be more polished while making public statements. A simple statement saying "It's unfortunate that he missed out on a 100 due to wickets falling at the other end" is so much more appropriate. nevada and beetle 2 Link to comment
