Axar is a number 7 at best. He's probably the best all format spinner in India right now. He's been brilliant the last 2 IPLs and if he has an encore this IPL, he should be a complete lock.

 

His batting is not the most reliable and has regressed a little too. But he can hit long sixes and generally play at a SR higher than Jaddu, Sundar etc.

 

Yes Axar is much better white ball spinner than both Jadeja and Sundar, but he is only a Harbhajan/Bhuvi level batsman. Can smack boundaries but not good enough to bat in top 7. He's competing for a spinner's spot not AR.

every single bowler trundled today including avesh khan. we are back to those old days of trundler kingdom. while we won against arrogant single-declining Windies, it will be much harder in Oz against likes of Eng.

 

India's best bowler in Australia in recent times was  rank trundler Natrajan.  Against England raw pace means zilch. They will devour anyone on flat tracks no matter how fast you bowl as we saw how Buttler massacred Starc/Hazlewood/Cummins. Swing is deifnitely going to be their weakness. Most important aspect in T20 these days is the spin. They play the most important roles.

Bumrah + Harshal + Shardul/Siraj will do good in Australia. Nothing to worry about. Deepak would not be good, nor Bhuvi, that's for sure.

 

Siraj is yet to prove in T20 internationals. So far not done that yet. So i won't pin my hopes on him.  When he was picked for T20 we all told he was picked for the wrong format. He proved it in 3 matches he played. Then last year also he did barely okay. Wasn't exactly a stand out bowler.

Nattu was bowling mid-130s allied to left-arm angle and yorker ability. since his injury, does not seem to be the same bowler. besides, there won't be much swing on Oz pitches. bounce is the way to go.

Depends on where you play. If you bowl half tracker thinking you can bounce batsman out they will punish you. 

 

Like this. Back of the length ball travelled lol Nissanka smoked Starc

Starc has not done much in T20s for a while. I would not use him as an example. Someone like Nortje is a better example of how pace can always help. ER of < 7 in T20Is

Jadeja is a bowling AR. Sundar not a good enough T20 bat. Sundar will be a brilliant test player. T20, not so sure as a batsman.
Jadeja can give the ball a tonk. He is a better batsman than bowler in T20s and ODIs. In tests, he can do both equally. Only, in tests, he is left with the tail and they get out, leaving him stranded on 50 something score. I remember so many of his 40s and 50s in the past 3 years.

remembering our 2011 and 1983 and to some extent 2007, I feel we are winning this.

 

back your team. #respect the trundler.

 

that’s our only option :giggle:

 

 

1985 :)  That too in Australia.  India bowled out every single team under 200 except final where pakistan reached under 200 for 9 down. We had skinny L Siva weaving magic back then. Now  @velu will be weaving magic.

A billion people and we cant find even one. Thats really bad.

 

Australia and NZ churn these guys out like out of a factory.

When the ones that are capable of 140+ aren't even considered for bi-laterals at home what can we expect?

It almost seems as though management doesn't want to give them opportunities even when there is a void in the bowling lineup. Lest, heaven forbid they perform somewhat better than an established out of form bowler.

Or the management is privy to a guarded secret which we aren't as fans, that all the 140+ bowling options we have are IPL smoke and mirrors propaganda for revenue generation.
