Tattieboy Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 4 minutes ago, Global.Baba said: Let me digress here and rephrase my question not man to man but overall on a scale of 1-10 how much ahead do you think is the modern English team ahead of the current and apparently outdated Indian team? As a neutral fan let me ask you this, you are picking a odi/t20 squad and your option is Rohit/Jason Roy who would you pick? Not a lot , in ability and resources India are on another planet BUT what is different is mind set . India sets targets 10, 20 , 30 overs and plays the majority of time batting first to them ..England's only thinking is can I hit this for 6 or 4 maybe not this one so we will settle for a two . It's the difference of positive mental thinking and no fear of failure against a conservative mindset ....India changes its mindset then they should be WC winners . They need to take power plays as is played in IPL into ODI . Who I should pick is Rohit but it's all about waking the walk and not talking the talk . Could Rohit play in the England side instead of Roy doing Roy's job ? Link to comment

I want good quality cricketers playing high quality modern cricket. You will never see me call Morgan,Bairstow,Butler,Stokes or even Malan and Sam Billings as hacks (jury still a little out there on this one) Even though Morgan who is one of my fav cricketers is soon going the Afridi/Russell route or May be he is just out of touch but he is much better than that. In fact I even think Mo Ali is a proper bat and not a hack even though he plays like one these days. Those English players didn't play that way either until it was decided the philosophy of the team going forward 6 years ago .Mo Ali was/ is a proper bat , that's what he started out as and by accident became a very reluctant first choice spinner , His batting suffers because of his lack of confidence on a cricket field because of his bowling . When he performs well with the ball he looks different better . Is he an Ashwin ? Noooooo but he fits into the English side and gives it balance Global.Baba 1 Link to comment
BacktoCricaddict Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) What criteria are we applying when we call someone "a hack"? When I was growing up, anyone who scored at a SR of >50 was a hack. Anyone who had gap between bat and pad was a hack. Am exaggerating, but not much.

Other street lingo in the 90’s for such players in gully cricket was Tulla ,Thukka,Tulleybaaz, Thukkabaaz, Afridi, Jayasuriya (not a hack but street lingo) etc. that’s basically the criteria.

Global.Baba Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 By the way being a Hack is not bad, my batting hero is Axar Patel as his batting reminds me of myself. He is the Sachin to my Bradman, Labu to my Sachin. Lets see I am excited to see what Livingstone can do. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Havent seen enough if him. But whatever i have ...he hits the ball big. Hack n bits n pieces are just useless words in LOI now. Link to comment
