Let’s see if Rat can make it 3/3 golden ducks. No better bowler than Boult to help him do that

Great inns by Parag.  Needed it big time.  Talent is there. If he stays focused he can play these inns more frequently.  Power toh hai bhai

I have given up understanding what makes Harshal so good. Whatever is working is working. Having said that will lose a crucial game with his bowling in the Wt20. Might run through some minnows though.

 

He bowled really well in the Middle phase. Choked them. That's his strength.

This is a perfect target for the king to reclaim his throne :)

I remember Parag playing a clutch inning few season back for RR. Guy is clutch not like fattu kl and smuggler pandya. On this tough pitch he played one of the better inning as a finisher.

Wow.

That six between deep point and cover was very thala-esque. Pure wrist and went almost 90m.

Shouldn’t bowl at the death. Some hack will get hold of him. Is one of those bowlers who can easily go for 20+ overs.

Piyush Chawla looks more fit in that studio than he ever did on the ground.

[raki05]

Looks like Piyush Chawla has lost weight after leaving cricket. Did he join healthify??

learnt from the most legendary leggie. Didn't lose any weight when playing but became a health freak after retiring.

Cricket involves both batting and bowling. Some teams have only 1-2 good bowlers so if they do not bowl well, they will struggle 

 

Talking about 1-2 batsmen - DC is Warner, LSG is KL, PK is Livingston, KKR is Russell, and so on 

RR don't have batting depth. They have got four tailenders( genuine 11) and that is a major problem in T20s.

wait even samad will prove u wrong like abhishek n parag

Debacle............konsa career khatam ho gaya uska

Samad is extremely talented. Power hitter too. I am certain he will succeed barring injuries. 

Samad

Umran

Sarfraz if he loses weight

 

All have good future in any format tbh.

Sorry Samad talent wise is way behind Abhishek and Parag. I followed these guys from u-19 days and they managed to stand out even among stars like Gill, Shaw, Mavi etc.

 

Samad apart from some 6’s in IPL has shown nothing.

All are very diff players. Abhishek cant bat down the order samad

Those some sixes were hit against world class bowlers also since is hitting sixes a bad thing in cricket. Ek taraf we say we need players who hit sixes against high class bowling then we say ohh whats so great in him he can just hit sixes

True but depth depends on form too (not just by scribbling names on paper) and not all teams are formed based on standard formulas ... RR has compensated its batting depth through bowling depth (dynamics of 90 cr budget where teams have to make choices)

Getting to 145 with every big gun in their lineup failing doesn't happen without depth.

Umran is a couple of notches ahead. All format prospect.

 

Sarfaraz will do well in ODIs and May be tests at home. Plays spin well. Rotates strike.

doesn’t have power game for T20s or technique for fast bowling/ overseas tests.

 

Samad is a t20 utility player but so far hasn’t shown that even in IPl. Won’t write him off but seems very hackish and average with both bat and ball and even cricket awareness.

Starc

Hazelwood

Cummins

Zampa

Stoinis

Maxwell

Marsh

 

7 bowling options for Aussies in odi and t20. Batting is a bit weak though with warnee getting old. Cummins sucks in loi. Starc is 50 50. Hazelwood, zampa, Marsh, stoinis are all quality.
