Shouted at Shami for not taking a catch that wasn't quite there. Screamed at Sai who was hurtling from the deep to grab the ball and save a 2. Pandya is not just a West Indian but also a Tillakratne Dilshan lite. The captain has high expectations from the wolf pack: Wanted Miller to go for a 6 on the last ball of the previous over, where the ball was in the slot. There was no need to take a single as a set Batman would be in strike the next over. Because Miller took that single, the Wolves had to take unnecessary risk on that single (so he did not shout for his own fault but for creating an unnecessary situation) With Shami, the need of the hour was to go for a catch. He expected to a wolf to go for a catch versus stopping a boundary where possible. And so on. Wolves play with passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thread for Wolves fans. Also not everyone judges cricketer without actual facts and as if every captain is supposed to act same and for the camera.

zen Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Versus RR, a strong team ... lost toss, batted first, had a slow start, but still came back hitting 120/1 in the last 10 overs ... Terrific bowling in dew as well even survived the Buttler storm ... Whatever weakness GT has, it more than makes up with the energy, enthusiasm, passion, & fighting spirit of its captain -> Sir Don Pandya: Mariyam and Adamant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamant Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Finally a good batting performance by Pandya. But let's look at the fast bowling lineup shall we - 1.Neesham 2.Prasidh 3.Sen This pace lineup was right up his alley, won't get a weak attack like this in international matches especially world t20. Won't be convinced with him as long as he doesn't perform at International level. Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
