Not being able to put up 300 against the West Indies at home is not a good sign

Call it a gut feeling, or call it bias.  But I feel Sundar is a guy to invest in.  I think he's already a comparable or maybe even better option with the bat (and ball) than Jadeja.  And has potential to improve on the batting side for sure.  He should get a long audition in the leadup to the WC, because he would add a lot of balance and flexibility to the team in the local conditions ODI WC 2023.  

As of now his power hitting abilities aren't comparable with Jaddu and less said about fielding the better. 

[Adamant]

The mental patient really needs some sort of treatment now. 

 

Surya, Iyer, Hooda are near 27-30 years old, they should be at their peak, the fact that they are playing their 7th or 8th odi is their own fault.  They were mediocre during their ealoer days and hence were not picked. 

 

Secondly who cares how many odis they have played, WC is next year, no one would care for these excuses if we lose this world cup in home conditions. 

 

 

Also this guy is totally shameless, he can compare any noob with legends of the game, criticising top 3 by saying they made runs on flat tracks and when gave Sa as an example start using inexperience excuse. 

 

This same top 3 won us a CT in 2013 in England in difficult conditions, and they were in their mid 20s during that time, now go find an excuse for that too.

Jadeja's fielding will tip scales in his favor.  But he is no spring chicken. He is like 33 years. Next he will be 34. Already picking up injuries. Sundar is 14 years younger than him.  He is a long term prospect undoubtedly. At the age of 20 he was handling Starc, Cummins like a pro. Jadeja hardly had that ability at that age. It took so  many years to develop himself into a decent batsman.  So keeping him as his back up is not a bad idea.

Sundar is a generational talent. I know a good player when I see one.

Look at Kohli's paid PR pimp run in circles like a headless chicken. All because I defended the middle order and criticised the top 3. Unemployment can cause such serious mental derangement. Add to it the scary lack of jobs in India and the situation does look grim for this now jobless PIMP.

 

Just to make him/her/it burn a little more

 

This is the 1st time India have whitewashed WI in a home ODI series 

 

Full credit to our young middle order for rescuing the team from a hopeless top 3 and to our young bowlers for stepping up.

Key is openers. Trend indicates that most teams rely on front 3 to deliver or atleast set the match up. 

 

Get 2 wickets early and the team chasing usually wins. Unless it's a tough used pitch like in KO stages. Like semis and finals. 

 

Aussies rely on Warner and finch. Get them early and it's over for them. 

 

Pommies rely massively on roy and bairstow. Their performances have never been good when those 2 go early. 

 

Kiwis too. Latham is key. And guptill. 

 

For india no different. 

 

S Africa rely on de kock to set the pace.

It was boring series.. Unwatchable.. Can't believe Indian team is playing such brand of cricket. Thanks to incompetent WI, otherwise India would have lost 0-3. All their batsmen had to do was take them to 200 and rely on Smith-Hossein kind of LO batter. Idiots were reeling around 80/7 In every other match..India will build this reputation of favourites for T20 wc again by smashing incompetent teams just to get thrashed by Better teams. Although liked some changes like India's bowling changes,Bhuvi Is gone, Siraj-Prasidh-Sundar and showing faith on Kuldeep. But Chahal is still there. 2 out of Rohit-Kohli-Dhawan need to be booted out..

In this top 3, only Rohit gets in due to his captaincy. Dhawan and Kohli bring absolutely nothing to the team. Earlier Dravid realises this better it is for our cricket. Most likely he also knows this but doesn't want to upset the applecart so soon in his tenure.

 

If we play with this old top 3, we may even get knocked out in the group stages in the WC.

exactly problem has always been batting. forget about bowling. no bowling is safe in LOI with even 300 totals. in Ko stages, we need 250 plus to be safe. anything under is an easy chase. hell we chased 272 vs lanka in 2011. 

 

i would actually say 280 is safe in flat wickets for a KO game in semis and finals. generally speaking.

perhaps in seaming tracks 250 would be safe. turners possibly 250 as well. otherwise 280 should be a winning total on pattas for Ko games. 

we couldnt *ing chase 238 ffs. *ing useless top 3. fire them all.

exactly. batting is ****. batting is weak. our bowling has always been good. even in LOI. in tests our bowling is the best and most well rounded. Only now they are ageing but guess what, prasidh, siraj, porel, saini are all waiting in line. we are still probably the best in tests despite shami declining and ishant being finished. 

 

In LOi you need big totals to be safe. minimum 260 plus on pattas for Ko stages.

Swing has nothing to do with the type of the pitches as the swing of the ball is due to air pressure not the pitch conditions.

That's BS, you think pitches with moisture doesn't aid swing? Lay off the booze will ya!

[nevada]

The opponent is WI but still, winning is better than losing. Remember how bad it hurt to lose 0-3 to SA even though it was just another bilateral series? And the bowlers won the game for us. Test match style field placements, slip catches, WI batsmen getting bossed around with bouncy balls - it was exciting to watch. I would have preferred Bishnoi and some other spinner being tried out.

It was a very below average series. In fact if India came up against decent competition, we would have lost this series.

 

I did think however, our bowlers bowled well. I liked Prasidh and Sundar back in. Kishan and Pant opening was refreshing.

First time India whitewashed West Indies 

Lol desperation at its best. 

 

This is a third grade Windies ranked no. 10 in odis. 

 

If you wanna deal in bilateral wins, then remember who won first bilateral series in Sa and Aus against their top teams. 

 

Do kaudi ke middle order ko defend kar raha, iq level 100 ke niche hai.

we never beat aussies full strenght team in their home under kohli. they missed starc and hazlewood for that 2018 series. we lost 2 -1 to their full strength team away although we missed our best bowlers for that series. 

[SRT100]

Ive seen the SL T20 side play in Australia, I think they can genuinely beat us.

 

I do hope they do, if we insist on playing the wrong players, then Im all for SL smashing us.

 

Hitman needs to get the message that the team needs to be reconstructed.

[ShoonyaSifar]

Kohli's paid PR PIMP still pimping for Kohli desperately. WI have been ranked outside top 8 for some years but this clown used to shag to Kohli's 100s vs the same opposition. But when a young middle order whitewashes achieves a unique feat, he's to run it down just to show how great his ex-paymaster is.

 

BTW if you want to discount lower ranked teams, then that's 35-40% of your ex-paymaster's career, hundreds and runs (WI and SL)

 

Stick to PR and pimping and find some gainful employment. I feel pity for him. Here's my offer. DM me , I can help you enrol into a course for improving your local reasoning and analytical skills, will help in getting  better employment than pimp for some new rising star.
