Sorry, the series was on line, i wouldn't play Shardul as Second pacer and you can't criticize team management for that decision. With wtc finals berth on line it's just difficult to have him as second pacer. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thakur's batting 'abilities' are slowly assuming mythical proportions the longer time he spends in the squad bench. No disrespect to a hard working quality player, but Thakur only plays a test as 3rd seamer in cases of major injuries and availability issues. He's not in the top 6 pacers for India. The only case for him is where India wants to play 4 pacers on a greentop. Which is simply not going to be the case for WTC. Norman and Cricspin 1 1 Link to comment

His 7 wickets and a match winning 67 were major contributors to the Gabba fortress breach and the series win. Has earned himself a few chances in the tests, at least overseas ones especially in a team where the top order batsmen cannot even roll their arm over. May as well prove to be useless but anyone who did so well in such adverse conditions, deserves all the praise. speed_thrills, AuxiliA and mani sha 2 1 Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thakur will get his chances this summer in England where he can cement his spot for the seam bowling AR slot but we won't make such a cavalier move for the final. if he won't be useful in England of all places i'm not sure where he will be considering the kind of bowler he is and that we don't have Sandeep Sharma, Bhuvi and D Chahar type bowlers in the team.

Jay Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sorry I love thakur. He is bloody good. Gritty tough sob bit I would only have him as number 8 or 9. 9 is questionable but he is a good swing bowler. Bit risky though as he can be expensive. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I am always so f*** annoyed when I watch our tail bat especially Bumrah who is barely able to hold the bat. Ishant plays spin alright thanks to his sweep & long levers. Won't survive even mild short stuff. Siraj is gutsy & tries different methods to contribute like in Gabba when he used square cut & upper cut against Cummins & Hazelwood & smashed English spinners in India. But needs a lot of work. But He at least tries. Shami knows only leg side slog & holes out to cow corner. Less said the better. Overall we have the worst tail & they don't take their batting seriously. Lower order batting is always crucial in England. tweaker and BacktoCricaddict 1 1 Link to comment

Vilander Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Jadeja is crucial. Thakur in place of Ashwin in case of a fast bowlers pitch, might not be a bad idea, but then it weakens spin bowling so it's a tough call. Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Wish they replaced v8hari with Sundar. And played Thakur instead of Ashwin. Link to comment
