Im done with this BS tournament. Pathetic pitches where there’s no balance between the bat n ball. Also too much cowardice in the “think tank”.

 

Also no one gives a F about these teams. The audience is more interested about seeing exciting players with good prospects.

Time of the season when pitches start slowing down,pacers start struggling from now onwards

Still there boys should have played

The conservatism boggles the mind, it's always safety first but what safety do trundlers provide. Also their  bad performances always get blamed on pitches but this doesn't seem to apply for the faster bowlers

You might have a point here but the last time we saw him it didn't look like he had improved since his junior days

Kohli is one of the all time best batsman against high pace,that 153 was pulled with disdain by Kohli,drives ,glances,cuts can be played just as this by Paddi who lifted that 153 by Rabada but pulls just sets them apart

Those legacy Aussie batsmen always had that

Indians, over the decades, have basically promoted a boring brand of cricket. 

 

Condolidating batsmen, medium pacers and finger spinners or darters have been our darlings for 90 years.

 

Only recently, our T20I batting has become exciting to watch. And our fast bowling was exciting in test cricket during Kohli's captaincy. 

 

Usually we believe in dropping Kuldeep Yadav for darter spinners .. criticizing Pant's test batting in public when he was young .. transforming quick pacers to trundlers. 

 

Generally we don't know how to train quick bowlers or develop them or maintain their quality or encourage them.

Absolutely agree, the sad part is that during Kohli's tenure it seemed things were changing for the better. All subsequent captains after him have shown little interest in promoting new fast bowlers or spinners.

The sad part is that the average Indian fan is also batting and star obsessed, there is little support and understanding for travails of fast bowling.

The worst are ofcourse Indian commentators who show little interest in supporting new fast bowlers, hate their blind faith in medium paced defensive bowlers

Bumrah and Rabada, 2 modern ATGs, are at similar stages in their careers and generally bowl similar speeds in test matches. [ 135 k to 145 k / 147 k ].

 

And both have struggled with multiple injuries like most pacers.

 

But while Rabada is trying to up his pace at age 30 and has bowled upto 153.6 kph in this IPL and 148 k+ regularly,  Bumrah has not even crossed 145 kph, fastest of 144.6 kph and generally trying to stay below 140 k.

 

Bumrah is probably the more pragmatic bowler and one can't fault his approach ... but I find Rabada's approach more exciting. And sports is all about excitement and enjoyment.
