Joe Root n Livingstone- England have such Good part timers

[Ankit_sharma03]

• Root- he has a carrom ball, he will fire in a seam up in between, i think googly to 
• Livingstone- he can bowl both off n leg spin, when leftie comes in he bowls offies n when righty comes he bowls leggies.....he is always among the wkts for his leagues n now england to

 

Then they have all rounder and bowlers who can bat , yaha bowler batting nahin karte aur batsman bowling nahin karte 

[Frustrated]

In the past ,we had many decent batsmen who were also part time spinners like Sehwag, Raina, Yuvi etc.   Now, we hv none.  I remember even Rohit used to bowl.  Now he is lazy. And stopped it altogether. This is an aspect which our TM needs to work on quickly.  Coz, if a regular bowler gets injured or has an off day, the match will be lost there itself.

its not easy being a part timer these days u need great variety like these 2 above or jadhav. Someone like maxwell can also fire in yorkers n vary  his length very well. With 2 new balls and just 4 fielder outside circle in middle over old ways of part timer wont work. Variation matters

Livingstone is a poor man's version of SRT, the bowler. he gets wickets in T20s because bowling random deliveries can help. Root is okay as a part-timer. I would still rate SRT, ganguly, and sehwag higher in tests than root. I agree that our batters have stopped bowling altogether - in LOIs, however, game has changed a lot and just being a part-timer can lead to lot of phainty if not handled correctly (in terms of captaincy)

variation cant be ignored by using a word like random. He takes wkts, end of discussion .....wat else does matter

Root is a very good part timer, very very good......with his variety he will keep chipping away with wkts

he is such a good part timer

I haven't seen England using Root much in limited overs.

Test series starting in 10 days. These guys are not going to practice for that?

[prudent_kreeda]

Fact is we do not have these kind of  players . even players in their 20s do not seem to have basic skills .

Could be Sundar can become one if he raises the bar soo much in batting that he becomes a top order bat. But not that certain that may happen. 

Gill can at least try to  become decent bowler as he has 4-5 years to develop skills so can contribute in another 3-4 years as he has age on his side.

It will require another generation of players who start doing this early in their career & keep that as a goal.

We have to make best use of what we have right now.
