Need to see him against pace and bounce, like the ROI attack had. Sarfaraz was our best bat in SA for India A and pitches were good for bowling. SA had good pacers. Vk1 and nevada 2

With 2 slots opening up in the middle order in tests, why is he not getting chances then ? " Higher in the pecking order batters" are filling the slots irrespective of their qualities, namely Shreyas snd Vihari. Lord, Mosher and Vk1 1 2
Need4Speed Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Vihari is just ok..I appreciate what he did with Ashwin vs Australia but he is not that supremely talented.. Iyer..we all know he is good but to be a reliable bat you need to be comfortable against short pitch stuff..which he is not.. Better to give chances to new talents..

Iyer is reliable everywhere except Aus and SA.
Nikhil_cric Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Sarfaraz Khan needs to be given a go in tests. Does he play pace well ?

In Indian conditions, yes, absolutely. He does have problems against hard lengths though, but can cover up with his range and unorthodox shots. Nikhil_cric 1
tweaker Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the ODI series against New Zealand due to a back injury. Rajat Patidar has been named as his replacement.
vvvslaxman Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 If Patidar does well here he will put himself above Sarfraz.
BacktoCricaddict Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Patidar ahead of Sarfaraz for ODIs. Sarfaraz ahead of Patidar for Tests?

I say it will help him with Test selections as well. That is where sarfraz is handicapped. He is not a bad ODI selection either. But he has to have some kind of X factor like SKy to break into the LOI set up.
maniac Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Sarfaraz Khan for me. Earned it. He might slap the face of selectors in tests as well like SKY and to a smaller extent Iyer have done. Dont rate Patidar…….Yet. I put him in the Rituraj category. Need more. Even though Ritu has done enough to be part of B teams or 3rd X1

While I agree sky should be in ODIs but Iyer has scored the most odi runs last year and has been the best bat in that format. How can you drop him unless the “eye test” excuse which outside of ICF doesn’t really work.

Need4Speed Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Patidar wont be a chance..Kishan and SKY will bat in MO..in KLs and Iyer's absence.. I wanted Patidar to be given a try but they would like to keep a limited set for odi wcup.. unless Patidar has a breathtaking IPL season..it will be difficult for him to pip any one else from odi team..
