Let us not turn Siraj into Anderson.These three fast bowlers deserve to play the finals. siraj is phenomenal but shami deserves his spot. he averaged 18 in WtC. even in the first test vs australia he bowled well until he got injured.

express bowling Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 My biggest worry about Shami is that he has not played a single 4 day or 5 day game after coming back from injury. Plus he looked a bit overweight during the IPL. Is he match fit ? We will know only during the match Ankit_sharma03, Mosher, Norman and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Noone wants him to fail,if you back someone in certain conditions for someone who hasn't had a good outing in similar conditions doesn't mean there is any hatred towards that said player Mosher, Cricspin, express bowling and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Like the ENG tour in 2018, the whole series didn't matter. But he did well in Southampton.Maybe that's what tilted the scales slightly in his favour Link to comment
bowl_out Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Pretty much on expected lines.. No surprises Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Siraj should have been picked instead of Shami. What if Shami gets injured again? Siraj has a knack of picking wickets. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 i dont trust Ishant anymore,Siraj was the right choice for English conditions. Link to comment

Texan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Shami's record in England is abysmal. Avg 47 after playing 8 Tests. Ideally, we should have had Bhuvi in the squad, but since he isn't, we should have at least played Siraj. Link to comment
Nikola Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Wanted Siraj in place of shami as well but i have faith in shami's ability. He didn't bowl as bad as his record suggest in England last time. English commentators were praising him alot which included Micheal holding. If conditions are not too much overcast he can be our best bowler in the match. Link to comment

gattaca Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Look Shammi is selected let’s not be like oh best player is on bench. We are at WTC final because of contributions from shami. He deserves a chance. Link to comment
