express bowling Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) I guess Siraj, Shami and Shardul are the first choice pacers for WC 23 assuming Bumrah and Prasidh won't be match fit. But pacers are always injury prone and one or even two of the above may get niggles snd injuries. So, according to Dravid, who are the back up pacers who can actually win us matches in the World Cup 23 ?? Are we going to have a T20 WC 22 type scenario again, when Bumrah was injured in July but they did not choose any backup for him !! Suddenly Shami was brought in a few days before the WC without playing any T20 after IPL 22. Surely they don't think that a pace attack of Mukesh, Shardul and Unadkat can win us the World Cup !! But then again floaty swing bowlers filled the team for a WC in Australia under Dravid. So, anything is possible Edited July 31, 2023 by express bowling rollingstoned, Suhaan, Vijy and 1 other 4 Link to comment

putrevus Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The main problem with Dravid in his tenure as a coach. He has not laid down his vision and brand of cricket he wants his teams to play in all the three formats . He has not shown any coaching where he has improved performances of his struggling batsmen. He says he wants players to express themselves but players are becoming timid and afraid to fail.For some reason he hates fast bowlers . cowboysfan 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Despite the loss i woudl take Baz as a coach over inept Rahul Dravid. Even it is a crazy methodology there is a methodology and goal is there unlike with Dravid whose coaching is all about taking things as it comes. Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Rahul has been the worst coach to coach India in terms of results. Link to comment
tapandrun Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 In my opinion Rahul Dravid had no roadmap or the vision for the team, he focused on solving the internal issue with the team-Rohit & kolhi's rift , players not getting enough chances, players not being treated properly. As the results the focus has not been on cricket but all the arbitrary things. Rohit sharma wants to consolidate his place as captain who looks like already past his prime also heard they wanted KL to captain t20i side. They have to get Dhoni to the TM mix not sure for what role and then Selectors asking Dhoni for players inclusion. This is all chaos. They clearly do not know what thet want for the team putrevus 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 BCCI will rue the day when that idiot Ganguly hired this bozo as the coach. They could not wait to kickout a perfect coaching setup with Shastri and co. Link to comment
Frustrated Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Disastrous results and bizzare team selections/tactics under Dravid is making Shastri & Co look better than they actually were. Lord, express bowling and Suhaan 3 Link to comment

Rahul, Paras and the good for nothing Rathour that won't happen even with 1st round exit. instead, what will happen is that more eggsperience will be brought in to the team (to supposedly "fix" it), and Dravidiot will consolidate his power until he gets to play his favorite LOI@srt10 XI: dhawan vada pav brat rahane kela (wk) pandu jaddu shardul undercutter mukesh chahal @express bowling@wazza@Gollum@SRT100 express bowling, wazza and Sgattick10 1 2 Link to comment
Vijy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 On 7/30/2023 at 11:54 PM, express bowling said: Dravid's choice of new players is usually poor too. Does not seem to have an eye for new talent Moreover, his choice of bowlers have often been disastrous. Does not want multi-condition bowlers and usually chooses bowlers based on their batting ability or ability to bowl with the new ball. Overall, he is not reading the game that well these days. he has brain damage from all the knocks he took. never did play pace+bounce well. real clutch players in this regard were Amarnath, Sunny, SRT, and VVS. express bowling 1 Link to comment

We'll mostly play 2 pacers + Pandya. So Bumrah,Siraj,Shami,Umran are enough options. Link to comment
