vvvslaxman Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Cummins, Archer, Holder, Rabada, Curran, Jamieson all can swing the bat around. We have nobody other than Thakur can do that. But Thakur will compensate with his bowling. They don't run fast. They don't even middle. Link to comment
Vilander Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Curran is not a fast bowler. Cummins is an alrounder. Holder is an alrounder. Archer and Jamieson yes genuine bowlers who bat well. sandeep 1 Link to comment

I mean if you look at his stats across all formats, their is nothing batting worthy, but when he was first introduced to the cricket community back in 18 , he was said to be a bowling all rounder with proper batting skills. From what I've seen he seems to just be a bowler who can slog and power hit a few shots. That's it. Link to comment
Dery Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Even srinath & Zak could bat a bit Link to comment

On the same note should we ask batsmen like kohli, rohit, dhawan, pujara to bowl as well ? Link to comment

We had Tendulkar/Raina/Yuvraj/Sehwag for 2011 world cup all of whom could bowl. CUrrent bunch if a bunch of one-dimensional players. NOt like they are electric on the field. Kohli for his athleticism drops more catches than the worst fielders. Link to comment

Kohli acts like he is above everybody. Narcissistic dweeb. Link to comment
Jay Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Zero excuse for not being able to bat. You are a professional athlete. *ing train your batting skills too. Number 11 and 10 can be excused but everyone else needs to know how to bat or at least defend and slog a few. Shami and bumrah are excused. No one else. Even Shami used to slog before. Umesh can slog a few. Shami needs to work on dealing with bouncers, learn to defend well and just out bat on ball. Link to comment
Adamant Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Jamieson is a proper allrounder. Link to comment
littlemaster1982 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Forget batting skills, KKR bowlers showed extremely poor match awareness yesterday. Nagarkoti went for a glory shot in the first ball he faced, instead of turning the strike over to Cummins. Varun was calling no for the second instead of running in full tilt and got himself out. Prasidh did the same. At least one of them had used their brains, KKR might have won yesterday. Link to comment

That's it. yeah from what i see i class him as a fast bowler who is effective with bat contributions - so can be considered as a success against the dud batting from Shami Bumrah and gang we are used to see. Cummins and Curran and Holder are different i am sure their genesis as players was different - they had skill with bat and ball , fair to compare them with returns of Hardik,Ashwin,Jadeja and gang.
