Adamant Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Okay, so we have seen this enough now, Let me list out some examples: 1. Amir vs Ind asia cup 16 2. Amir vs Ind t20 WC 16 3. Amir vs India CT 17 4. Boult vs Ind WC 19 5. Shaheen vs Ind wc t20 21. So basically , yet another instance of the same thing is waiting for us, I am quite sure even a one eyed guy can see through this, we need to change our strategy or lineup to avert this scenario. What all do you suggest.? Link to comment

Serpico Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I know people will say pick a left handed opener but even Dhawan failed in 2017 I don't think there's a short term solution to this. In long run, make sure our top order batsmen get ample practice against left arm swing before a tournament. Try to scout more left arm pacers in domestics Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment
Adi_91 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I don't think a lot can change if it has not changed already. Boult has looked ordinary in the IPL, so let's hope he doesn't come good on the 31st. Link to comment

Quite sure he will swing it vs IND on 31st Link to comment
Nikola Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Left arm or right arm, if they get some movement then anyone will get troubled in early overs. In 2019 it was henry who got both openers. My question is why don't our swing king bhuvi & even bumrah get such movement in icc events? Edited October 24, 2021 by Nikola Lord 1 Link to comment

DeepSpace Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Nothing. Boult will rip one through all right. It will be Chokohlibaba’s ass! Norman 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Ruturaj seems to have a tighter technique. It is worth experimenting him up the order. Link to comment

You’re basing it off last season where he was still recovering from covid He just smashed a hundred against RR who had 3 left arm or soemthing smashed 88 against Mumbai who had Boult possibly best left arm we in the world alongside afridi you’re talking crap Link to comment

I laugh at all the stats and match up data posted on Twitter. Many of these guys have no idea how the data is created. Rantzz 1 Link to comment
putrevus Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 There is nothing either Rahul or Rohit can do that is their weakness.Riturajs and Venketeshs of IPL world will do jack at this stage of their careers.Rohit and Rahul are 100% upgrade over them and it is not even close.

cricketfan28 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 hopefully he is past his prime .. nothing to worry he is no afridi. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 One of the reason top order collapse hurts us worse is because we never have had equally good bottom three since the exit of inform Yuvraj, Dhoni, Raina. But this is Kohli's XI. He pretty much built the RCB the same way. We need a new captain who develops a strong lower order. nevada 1 Link to comment

Bhai Bumrah is a certified choker as of now, let's see his output in NZ game. I ll not blame Bhuvi much because he seems finished as a bowler but Bumrah is supposed to be world's best. nitinbwj 1 Link to comment
nsareen Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Shubman / Iyer countered Boult by stepping out to him, plus Right / Lefty combination definately helps Link to comment
nitinbwj Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 No one not even the die hard fans of Pak cricket predicted that fine spell of swing bowling from Shaheen especially in UAE. That was sensational. I hope Sharma and KL are alert to Boult this time. Link to comment

Number Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Need to control the premeditated instincts in the first few overs. Cover stumps and play for the indipper, one of the first 3-4 balls is coming back in then don't try to play across the line. Try for dab and run to keep scorecard ticking. Easier said than done but that is the only way to survive. Link to comment
