Lord Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 19 minutes ago, vvvslaxman said: 1 or 2 cameos over 3 seasons cannot be the reason you pick someone. Why couldn't he replicate at a lower level in the domestic? Atleast guys like Iyer/Ruturaj had mega domestic season in some formats. If you are going to back someone for cameos DK is your guy. Not this guy. Pant himself is already a cameo guy. We cannot have another cameo guy with limited hitting range. He outbowled Chahal in SMAT and scored at 150 SR. Domestics dont mean anything SRK also did well there. Clueless in IPL Link to comment
Majestic Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I would have liked if Shaw was picked ahead of Ruturaj. Also, Samson should have been picked too. Lord 1 Link to comment

Clueless in IPL It is a specialist batsman position. You have to be better than producing occasional cameos on certain grounds against certain type of bowlers. Tons of batsmen have done that in IPL over the years. 1 fifty over the period of 8 years in the IPL. He will be found out at the top level. This year Rashid khan is batting like Maxwell/Andre Russell on those same pitches. Link to comment

He failed yoyo test only less than 2 months back. India's cut off limit is 16.5 in yoyo test which by all accounts is low compared to say NZ yoyo test limit. Shaw couldn't even hit 15. This was the statement made 2 months back. “If Prithvi is not being repeatedly considered, then perhaps his fitness standards aren’t up to the mark, as in what is expected of a Team India player,” the source told PTI.

zen Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Most players will have a case but there are too many similar type of players … Samson, Tripathi, & Moshin should have been there. KL and Pant as C & VC respectively probably signals at SA winning the series Anyways, appears as if BCCI wants fans to support the more exciting team - SA Link to comment

But Shaw is one of the absolute worst. Even Ashwin who is supposedly a slow mover has passed it. Shaw has to focus on fitness as well also work on his weaknesses.

Mesky99 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hooda frauding his way through only because he bowls a bit but a different yardstick for selection for abhisekh, what's the use of venky iyer when Hardik is now fit and bowling? Dube would fit in better in the late order then venky. Happy for axar but no way should Kuldeep be ahead of Ashwin. Flawed selection and it's clear the selectors are a bunch of buffon's who I doubt look into wider aspects of play when it comes to selection. Gaikwad, kl and iyer would be a decent odi top order but not t20. Kl, abhisekh, tripathi, sky, pant etc would be formidable. Suhaan, Lord and rollingstoned 3 Link to comment

He has made 5 fifties this season. Scored over 400 runs. Abhishek sharma works in SRH set up with a tuk tuk williamson as partner. Abishek is not going to open for India. His role will be different where he often has to bat outside power play. Venky Iyer most likely got included to this batting for India in recent series. He and SKY added like 80 runs in the last 5 overs. Link to comment

Texan Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 So selectors feel that Rohit and Kohli need a break, but Rahul and Pant don't? Didn't Kohli and Rohit already get plenty of rest during the IPL? Norman, express bowling and Vk1 3 Link to comment

Texan Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 On the T20 squad, yet again, they have picked a "safe" squad. They should have picked Mohsin. Also, for the opener slot, we need someone who can give quick starts like Shaw or Jaiswal. I would have also liked to see Padikkal picked. Shouldn't Rahul also get some rest? Link to comment

I don't think so, when Rohit is back there is no place for hooda in the team, what India needs now is a dynamic opener or number three, we already have a packed middle and late order plus DK is back.

Simple observation , The regular top 3 generally wastes 6-10 deliveries in the very beginning of their respective innings That amounts to 24-30 deliveries,that is huge loss of deliveries in this age of t20 cricket Their standbys are no different,which means selectors aren't putting their heads in this simple and most important aspect of the game Infact it has inspired most of the gen next to play anchor like innings in t20s Everyone wants to be an anchor Kl had huge potential,but he turned into a sissy consolidator, Gaikwad is no different Worst if this lot is Iyer,he should have been kept miles away from iur loi side and only restricted to home tests matches express bowling and Mesky99 1 1 Link to comment
