they badly want to fit axar into the team for some reason.

flawed logic of trying to make an allrounder out of him and groom his batting "talent".  I blame Dravid.

India u19 team has now outpaced the Pakistani one for three world cups on the trot, shami, Siraj at their worse were bowling 140kph in the recent test, the Brits have always had a soft corner for the paks

It's just their jealousy about ipl comes out by hyping up PSL. If anyone ask to name 5 bowlers from PSL they can't name them.

it's because stereotypes are baked in. there's nothing malevolent about that

 

when they think about indian cricket they think about good batsman, and spinners, whether it's true or not

when they think about pakistan cricket they think about pace bowlers

dont get too worked up over PR 'coverage'.  'pace bowling' is a clear and concerted marketing effort by PSL.  Every interview they intentionally ask leading questions like "can you share your thoughts on the pace bowling quality in PSL?"  I mean these sort of press interactions are set up for the players, coaches etc to say "nice" things about the league etc.  So thats what they will do.  And then the quotes will be pumped out as marketing.  I mean its fine, nothing wrong with it.  But no need for fans like you to get unnecessarily worked up over it...

Nahh guys like Hussain and artherton still believe in this theory of Pak producing better and faster bowlers than India, what ever marketing the psl does it's fine, artherton obviously ain't stupid, watching some U19 games plus ipl games it would be obvious whose got more pacers but they enjoy playing the rhetoric.

really? you got inside their heads to find out what they 'believe'? 


And lets say they do, who cares?  why are you worked over other folks perceptions, flawed or whatever.  There's always a time lag in changing stereotypes that have held for long.  And let the poor greenbros have some positive stereotypes for a change.  What else do they have.

If you want to play Hooda in the best Indian XI, then atleast try bowling him when left handers are in. What's the point of playing him as specialist bat?

That's Pandu's 4th wicket dropped. That's a legit drop. Come on now.

Should have had a 5fer by now ,had axar made some effort for that Roy's mistimed shot.

As I type, he gets his 4th (what could have been a 6th)
