maniac Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 I mean I can understand if this was a close game and one of the 5 bowlers had an off day or Pandya was bowling all these days and was in great rhythm but It felt like a face saving effort giving him the ball. Pandya was too injured to bowl all these days. didn’t bowl in the split IPL seasons (spread over 6 months), didn’t bowl in the England series. Was injured and not available for the first game. Now if he is being saved so much what was the point making him bowl when the opposition needed 20 odd runs with 9 wickets in hand and 8 overs left? Did anyone even notice that SKY wasn’t playing today? The fact that we didn’t even make a fuss about or miss him speaks about how much impact he has had so far but that’s a debate for another day, however how many adjustments do we have to keep making for accommodating Pandya?

zen Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 First let the team play well with both the bat and the ball, then discuss about balance Let's get rid of Rohit & Kohli first Suhaan 1
maniac Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 Just now, helperononline said: Sky in injured pandya bowl kiya tho be problem nahi bowl kiya tho be problem its not about Pandya. A guy who is fragile and injured and hasn’t bowled in over an year and is still undergoing rehab suddenly starts bowling the next game after 1) he is heavily trolled and criticized and potentially dropped and 2) starts bowling after a game has become meaningless. Would he have bowled had this been a dead rubber game? I don’t think so
zen Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 India fields tried and tested failures in pressure games like Rohit and Kohli, and here we are talking about balance, and that too when the guy came in at 48-4 (not 48-1 or 2) and took Ind to 94.

Are you for real? Kohli has won two Man of the tournaments awards in t20s and has performed in almost all t20 knockout matches in the world cup. In which fantasy land are you living? Pandyas OTOH again flopped today when we needed him to finally play a consequential knock. Cricspin, kirkutfan, New guy and 1 other 1 3
R!TTER Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Lekin wo karke aaya na? He bowled to show he's fit so as to justify his inclusion in the 11 - simple as that!

How else would Kohli justify keeping Pandya in the team if he didn't bowl. Once the game was lost - Pandya was given the ball for Dibbly Dobbly to justify being an "all rounder" maniac, SRT100 and ShoonyaSifar 2 1
Sgattick10 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Yeah he bowled at 125 kph, we don't need that. A fit Pandya bowls at 135-140, he is not fit and it's evident. Today he was bowled to prove a point ShoonyaSifar 1
Clarke Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Wouldn't Botham/Hadlee bowl for their sides ? Wouldn't Imran/Kapil give it their all ? Pandya is in the same league, only slightly better if you use some colored glasses. maniac 1
cricketfan28 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 The Pandya experiment is a failure, I don't think we will see him again in t20s.

Would he have bowled had this been a dead rubber game? I don’t think so That just shows that the team leadership is rattled. They bowled Pandya to show the public that keeping him in the team was not a mistake. They opened with Ishan Kishan and bumped up Rohit because the media was clamoring for him. I just think these guys were in a bad spot mentally. South_Paw, Cricspin, Vijy and 2 others 2 3
Vijy Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 it was mostly to show that pandya still counts as an AR. instead, it may have set back his recovery even more.
Rantzz Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 As practice for the real games against Namibia and Scotland when he can take some cheap wickets and this fraud all rounder will be guaranteed a spot for next 5 years
rkt.india Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) If you heard Kohli in the last game, he said Pandya is getting better and may bowl later in the tournament. I believe he isn't completely fit and should not have been picked. Edited November 1, 2021 by rkt.india Vijy 1
