Vijy Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 4 minutes ago, Jay said: Yes it always shocked me how unfit Merv looked yet he could maintain intensity for the whole test match without getting tired. Aussie generally eat a nice clean diet but they do drink VB beer alot. Post 90s Aussies became really strict with regards to fitness and the results reflected it albeit in a non drs, no no ball umpiring plus no unbiased umpiring era. I do see a few guys like that here actually. Some eat like crap yet they can run all day without getting tired. Do bear in mind, these guys have been running since childhood. I guess once it's ingrained in your brain and you have good muscle memory of your past, it's hard to lose your talents. yes, porky merv always delivered. limited bowler, but great temperament. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Needs to increase his pace a bit and he will be deadly in lois. yes we need bowlers who can bowl hard length at good pace, once u have it all hitters of the world will find it tough- pandya, pollard, pooran, maxwell, marsh, russell, moeen ali (apart from livingstone) everyone has problem hitting hard length at high pace. We lacked that this Wc- most teams has it now . We need prasidh, avesh to com good in LOIs Edited February 6, 2022 by Ankit_sharma03 tweaker and Adamant 2 Link to comment

And should get opportunities. I was surprised when we played 3 medium pacers in the last 2 T20Is vs NZ ... and Avesh did not get in despite being in the squad. Mosher and Adamant 2 Link to comment

He still bowls a heavy ball but it used to be really heavy in 2018 and 2019. BacktoCricaddict, Adamant, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to comment

We unfortunately suffer from one dimensional players which is making it hard to get right the balance in t20s Almost every player brings in a problem of his , i was reading a stat we have hardly picked any wkts in PP in last 2 yrs ODIs . Yet this has gone unnoticed ... Its sad that with all the money we havent hired services of cricviz n pakistan has, need string data to use players acc to conditions . Here we are playing players in wrong format till date . Their a lot of issues in think tank when it comes to LOI and it only gets worse coz of one skilled players. Coming back to last series its baffling to see harshal getting chances , not that he has done anything wrong but TM shud ask themselves wud his bowling suit for next t20 WC thats in australia ??? No, absolutely no. HAd it been SL, Bangladesh or WI ..then yes but no Not in Australia.

Sooda Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Makes a come back in T20 squad BUT Is he a better red ball bowler then a white ball one? Good FC record, and good season last year in Ranji Not great in List A and T20s nevada 1 Link to comment

Good FC record, and good season last year in Ranji Not great in List A and T20s He wont even be considered for test cricket if he bowls poorly in T20. Selectors need to learn to separate formats and give weightage to the right format. Link to comment
