Dhoni Mentorship clearly evident on team selection.

Looks like there is no one to manage the pre-Team India quick bowlers.

 

There should be someone in charge who monitors the development of the next gen 140 k+ quicks. 

 

But not happening.

 

Saini split his finger webbing during the 2020 IPL and from there his decline started. He was having back spasms on the eve of the first ODI in Australia in late 2020, but was made to play 2 ODIs despite this which probably aggravated his injury. 

 

His fitness was not managed properly and we lost out on a 150 k pacer just like that. 

 

Shardul is looking so unfit.

 

I would really like to know why Prasidh is bowling a bit slower at only age 25. 

 

And the promising U19 pacers like Mavi, Nagarkoti and Tyagi are all going downhill.

 

 

In the first two odis against aus saini was still bowling 145kph, it's the hammering in those two odi's I feel which has left a scar on saini, yhh your right he was definitely injured, looked no where near his best in the test match he played, you remember nathu Singh in 2015 the guy was bowling quick, picked up a five wicket haul against SA in a tour game, could have been drafted into the odi's and t20s then but in return the selectors picked sreenath Arvind and Mohit Sharma, nathu got injured later and is nowhere to be seen now, there is a few more quick bowlers around Sushant Mishra, prithviraj Yarra, minad manjrekar, simarjeet singh but they simply don't play enough domestic cricket, kuldip sen from mp looks decent.

Nathu Singh was one of the most promising pacers I have seen from India.

 

He had this twin ability of bowling quick stump directed indippers as well as getting some deliveries to rear up nastily from just short of a length.

 

The WI quicks of the early 80s used these 2 deliveries very frequently to get wickets, along with the rib ticklers to soften batters up.

 

Nathu is a big big loss for Indian cricket.

 

Mavi is another pacer who could bowl both these deliveries in 2018 and 2019. Lost both of them after that. This is infuriating.

Nathu had such a terrific action, free flowing and great seam positioning.

He's won trophies though, test gadda, odi and t20 cup, kohli with best team on off for decade won squat.

Speculation on my part, but I see Dhoni's influence in sending Jadeja to bat ahead of Pandya in the last game.... Just because Jadeja has done with the bat in IPL doesn't change the fact that he's never done well with the bat in international T20.

I don’t like to say “I told you so”…. You might’ve noticed by now that I’ve an instinct which tells me things long before the actual news comes out. It’s actually God Gifted…

Possibly the reason Dhoni promoted Jaddu ahead of HaPa..

 

That Pak match did STANK like Dhoni Poo all over…

Too many cooks. Never knew kohli would be the second biggest problem in planning and direction

 

The same brain which took us to so many t20 cups failures with his defensiveness is now back in action

Whether it's right decision or not, how does he enjoy such power even two years after his retirement? If selectors, Kohli, and Rohit agree on something, he has no right to interfere.

Tyagi's action is so easy to pick up now, he looked like a potent threat in the u19 world cup not anymore, prasidh well I thought he bowled well in his first odi series but has lost out on some 4-5kph of pace this year, bowls one short ball to many and has no plan B, well saini has regressed so much it's unbelievable, by now he should have been bowling 150kph consistently with his action, he has great abs but sadly not bowling fit, shardul has gone from 136-140kpb to 130kph within a year and that is due to his waist line, he has put on a lot of fat since the ipl covid break, we are basically left with Siraj who has improved leaps and bounds but the rest are just not good enough, we sae how average porel was in the ipl, bharat Arun will soon leave and am afraid trundler brigade will may get a look in.

Kartik's action is much better now. Has bowled much faster than what he did in u19 when he used to try to emulate Bhuvi. He has become a genuine fast bowler now which he wasn't back then.

As per the other thread opened by @vvvslaxman, we didn’t score a boundary for 71 balls in the middle overs, that has Thala the mentor written  all over it

[Ajju]

That 71 balls without Boundary pure Thala Zone

[Number]

That is the as best a mentor as you can get for no fee.

[zubinpepsi]

im glad this all came crashing down..

 

dhongi should be kept out of the indian team as far as possible.. its enough we have to endure this moron in the IPL..

It's not like they didn't try to hit in that period.
