beetle Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Why was he selected when it was known he could not bowl? What is this obsession with taking this 1/ 4th allrounder ? He was in bad batting form and unable to bowl....so what was the expectations of the selectors? I guess it was for taking the knee . tweaker, RAZPOR, rangeelaraja and 1 other 4
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Bcoz @zen and Captain Kohli believes he is the best batsman for no.6 in India. But come actual match, Jadeja is send at no.6 to hide the best no.6 batsman for India batting at 6 Hopefully this was his last match in Indian colours. beetle, maniac, sorak and 2 others 3 2
QuarantineTormentino Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 So Miffed with Pandya. Both Kohli and Rohit promised that he would bowl for sure in the league games but that idiot managed to somehow injure himself for the 1000000th time lol. His biggest contribution yesterday was that overthrows which went for 5 runs

Bigg Brother Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 The team selection this time just like wc 2019 is full of misfits. Pandya has hardly played 3-4 good innings in T20s (International)to be qualified as specialist batter. Averages 19 with only 5 30+ scores. That heroics in Australia has earned him place but still think Iyer deserved a place ahead of Pandya if criteria to be picked is batting. SRT100 1

There is an argument to be made that Thakur the batsmen alone is better than Pandya at the moment. express bowling 1

Yes on Face value. Shardul would play better than Pandya. It's just that Pandya somehow provides Indian management some kind of psychological Cushion that he can clear the ropes at will . Shardul has case of playing over Pandya but that kind of things will never happen in Indian set up ever,Never. He will be picked up as replacement of Bhuvi,at best to strengthen the lower Middle order a bit. But they will never give a thought about why they need to strengthen lower middler order in 20 overs match? Because you are playing a bits and pieces Cricketer Jaddu( in T20s),Pandya(Specialist batter in some imaginary world).. Edited October 25, 2021 by Bigg Brother

Gambit Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 The Pandya who played in the 2016 T20 World Cup and the 2017 Champions Trophy was an asset. This variant is Sir Dud Pandya. It is criminal to play him over Thakur or even Ashwin. Chakdephatte 1

With that kind of back injury when he is on injection, he himself should have opted out for such a big event rather than wasting a spot in the team. This is very selfish on his part.
neel roy Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I would take this venkatesh iyer In heartbeat. Make him open with rohit. Give him a free license to hit and make 25 of 10 balls and keep rahul at no 5 as he was doing in England odis really well. We would also have a Bowler who could easily bowl 4 yorkers in an over albeit at 128/130. nevada, sorak and express bowling 3

The way we bowled even 180 would have been chased, that is not the point. If we are to win the WC the team management needs to know the role of their players. Whats Pandya's role? 1. All rounder? he can't bowl. 2. Batsman? then what is he doing below Jadeja? 3. Finisher? why should a finisher play only the last two overs? whats wrong with two more overs?

Not losing because of non performance is not the reason to pick a player in the squad! The idea isn't to fix blame, but to honestly gauge individual contributions. Pandya didn't have much of an impact yesterday. His not being able to bowl means we had to persist with toothless Shami and Bhuvi even when they got clobered. Neither did Jadeja have any impact, but at least he bowled. express bowling and Lord 2
speedheat Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Why this trundler Bhuvi was selected should be the question.

So its rightly rejected by Indian management. sorak, express bowling and nevada 3
