Swag Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I am willing for us to be knocked out if it raises a hue and cry concerning selections, senior quota in the team etc. But who am I fooling? nothing's gonna change nitinbwj 1 Link to comment
jusarrived Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I think our batting is solid for Aus conditions, most of these guys play short ball well . Only concern wrt batting is, barring sharma every other batsmen has shown tendency to choke under pressure. As for bowling, Bumrah missing out is a big blow as he's the only world class T20 bowler we have. Him and Arshadeep would have made a sold pace attack, since that's not happening we should just build on or strength and pick bowling all rounders at 7-8-9. Link to comment

This is why it is always good to have a "sacrificable" wicket at the top. In 2011 world cup, Umar Gul was the best bowler. Sehwag imposed himself against Gul hitting him for 4 boundaries. We need someone to take on their bowler upfront and throw their plans off. Gilly time and again did that in crunch games for Australia. He always considered his runs as bonus for his side.

Atleast someone who can bowl fast yorkers. If not specialist batsman it will be handy against lower order. Did anybody stop Bumrah from bowling those yorkers on Oct 24 .What did he do then. I am not saying he is not a big loss but it is not catastrophic as people are makig it out to be. Link to comment

He performed well, excellent fielder and miles ahead of Chahal in batting ability. He is even better bowler than Chahal. I still don't know why he is not playing in this series. Link to comment

Siraj also did well there in the boxing day test. You need bowlers who can make the ball zip off the surface. Floaty bowlers can also do well. But it purely depends on conditions.

You feel like if you do your skill well, you can have a big impact on the game.” Thankfully, MCG curator Matt Page has since taken action. Page and his team removed cement from the bottom of the drop-in pitch’s tray and tinkered with the make-up of the clay content. Subsequently, the past two Boxing Day encounters have been considerably more enjoyable for fans, with the MCG wicket providing early movement off the deck.

For that he has to be dependent upon to bowl 4 full overs in the enforcer period. We know what happens if India is solely dependent on Pandya in either batting or bowling Edited October 1, 2022 by coffee_rules vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment

Why would someone drop bishnoi after his performance ? He has no choice but to accommodate Kohli and Rahul. That's two spots gone right there, which would have gone to couple of youngsters That being said, his trundler love and steadfast support to collar chewer is unforgivable. He didn't make any bold bet like Umran or Bishnoi. SRT100 and Mosher 1 1 Link to comment

kubrickian Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Indian team problem has always been the bowling and this time, its not too different. With Bumrah more or less out of the picture, bowling look even weaker. But I think there is enough firepower in batting. Only hope India have is to chase and have the bowlers minimize the damage in first innings and then batsmen can try to make up for it. If India bat first, chances are the current bowling will not defend the total (unless there is swing which is very unlikely). For me, the favorites are Aus, NZ, Eng and SA. India have an outside chance. Link to comment

Agree somewhat, here there are people elevating the awful Hooda I mean hadd hai yaar, look at his game against anything over 140 kph, against bounce. This is what happens when you take IPL too seriously. Hooda isn't worthy of an India A pick, and his bowling is utterly useless. Lord 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Won't miss Bumrah against Pakistan, that's for sure. Mental midget, loses his head in pressure games, zero wicket taking ability with new ball (all the more important against Pak who rely heavily on their top 2/3), and check how those mediocre poyzzz (even 40+ uncles like Hafeez and Malik ) have manhandled him time and again. No way was he ever going to take out Babar/Rizwan at MCG, maybe on a good day he would have ended with 35/1 in his 4 overs, hardly a game changer. That's his ceiling in high pressure matches, can only laugh at people comparing him with the likes of Hazlewood, Starc, Archer, Shaheen, Boult in white ball cricket....those guys are killers who can end the contest in their first 2 overs. For all the hate our top 3 have got for failures in big games, Bumrah has gone unnoticed. He has failed every single time in pressure games, at least with Kohli/Ro there is some odd KO situation where they have done well (Rohit in 2007 WT20 or against BD in couple of KOs, Kohli in the 2013 CT final and WT20s overall). Bumrah turned into bheegi billi against a rampant Liton in the 2018 Asia Cup final and the captain had to hide him till the tailenders came, last year in his favorite format in seam/swing friendly conditions he delivered the worst bowling display ever by an Indian quick (considering the occasion)....even Unadkat would have done better in that WTC F, at least picked up a wicket in 2 innings and not gone at 5 rpo!!!! He may end up as our GOAT quick, but hardly an achievement considering our fast bowling legacy. Granted he has been a champ in some marquee SENA tests, but he isn't someone we will miss in big games/tournaments. Forget ATGs, even trundlers like Nehra, Irfan Pathan, Munaf, RP Singh have better resume in KOs. And what the much maligned Ishant Sharma did with that double blow (Morgan, Bopara) in 2013 CT F, Bumrah has never come close to having such an impact even at Asia Cup level. High time people start noticing Bumrah's impact outside useless bilaterals and IPLs, talking about white ball cricket. He still is a gun test bowler. But in ODIs/T20Is, better we explore other options....Mohsin, Tyagi, Umran, Sen etc. Edited October 2, 2022 by Gollum Norman, Lord and rollingstoned 3 Link to comment
