He was shocked to see himself bowling at 138 kph. He himself has said it. He considers 138 kph is some what an express pace.

Pant 26(15).. Good but Kishan can play such knocks too.

 

He is a spin basher. Against pace he misses more than he connects. They are trying to force him in this format.

Pant has way higher ceiling though. 

 

Kishan is a ftb.

About form. In SC once someone is 30+ tough to make a debut. Guys like DK etc are exceptions but they are TTF’s getting a 2nd life and not debutants.

Why not try this?

 

Dhawan

Pant

Rohit

Kohli

Dhoni

Pandya

Dk

 

Brought back dk. Let's get Dhoni as well. 

 

 

While we are at it, let's drop Pandya and get back the true all-rounder Kedar Jadav as well.

A ball at 138 with perfect seam and moment is difficult to hit than a straight 145+ ball unless it is 155+ obviously.

A ball at 145+ with perfect seam and movement is difficult than same at 138

[vvvslaxman]

This format needs a bit of luck too. But India needs a lot of luck not bit of luck with the Xi we will field.

[Nikhil_cric]

This pitch has a bit for bowlers but will ease out in the 2and innings

Obviously banana swing at 170 is impossible to play. The point is very difficult to get control at 145+ unless it’s a straight short ball it yorker.

[vvvslaxman]

If that bowler bowls that hard length to Pandya he will struggle too. Last match he smashed LIvingstone/parkinson vast majority of the runs.

Same issue with Willow Tv.

[kubrickian]

This is a lot better batting approach from openers in T20s than the tuk tuk style we saw earlier. But not sure Kohli knows how to bat like this.

Good. Hopefully Kohli is kicked out the white ball squad permanently.

all formats. guys listed below should be booted out permanently across all formats

 

1) number one kohli chewtiya. no point beating a dead horse. this horse is now ashes

2) duo - pujara from tests

3) 

 

players that should be moved to a different position :

3) tre - gill from tests should be in middle order

4) rahul only in middle order in all formats

yea why not., even rayudu

 

[maniac]

This Parkinson has some talent. Why isn’t he playing test cricket? Will be much better than Bess and Leach (who is not as bad as we think he is)

[Jay]

also drop sirja from tests if he is unwilling to work hard.

Scored in South Africa on tough wickets where others failed.

That is not the point here. Point is he surprised at his own speed of 138 kph. Basically that is his ceiling. Not average speed.
