dilliboy Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Don't think it was lack of intent from Pant, just struggled with his timing. Can happen on off days, in windy conditions nevada 1
GeeGaw Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Woakes needs to come back into this lineup. What you lose in Stoinis' batting is more than made up for with Woakes' bowling. Ponting's insistence that Stoinis bowl at least one over each match is stupid. nitinbwj 1

coffee_rules Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Most worryingly: Pant hasn't hit a six during both his half-centuries this season.Before this season, he had 51 half-centuries in professional cricket (all formats) and only one of them involved no sixes. This shows why DC lost, you either score or give in to the next gladiator . This loss is Thala-style, take it deep and lose.

Will improve batting and bowling both as Hetmyer can then bat at no 3..and woakes is a decent lower order bat. GeeGaw, nitinbwj and Jamadagni 1 2

Things even out over time so being 4-2 at this point is about right. nevada 1

I saw him in the dugout for the MI match so figured he would be ready to go today. Ishant did mighty fine so I guess they thought he was a better match up against RCB.

Smith is basically australian rahane in t20s ....yes he is a pressure player but till then he can loose a lot of games.
nitinbwj Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Funny thing is that Axar was still to come and Pant having played with him should know that he can use the long handle too. That was epic brain fart from Pant trying to take it deeep especially when they only needed 25 from 12
Lone Wolf Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Disgusting inns from Pant. Feel for Hetmeyer really.. He tried his level best. Freak inns. Should get to face more balls from now on. Also get in Billings. nevada 1

As goes Dhawan, so goes Dilli. Their batting is very feeble. They can't expect to win the cup with this kind of batting. Stoinis could be promoted to 3 to get better value out of him. Smith needs to be benched. Yesterday, he refused to dive for a catch, which he would never do if playing for Australia.

If he had struck a couple of sixes against spin which he faced plenty of, DC would have won with time to spare.

In the last over as well if Hetmeyer had got hold of those full tosses of Siraj instead of Pant the game could have been over. His timing too was all over the place last night.
