Indian spearhead - Bhuvi v SA spearhead - Nortje (T20WC22)

[zen]

Both are expected to lead the bowling attacks for their respective teams in T20WC22. Who would you pick to lead your attack (free feel to consider other benefits as well such as batting and/or fielding) considering various performance in T20s including IPL?

An advantage w/  Bhuvi is that the WK can stand up in the first over, making the batsman glued to his feet (and left confused). 

 

While for Rabada, the WK has to stand way back where the batsman can step out to smash him.

Is there something I am missing? is this some kind of trick question?

I'd give you ek peh ek free offer, take Bhuvi & Harshal in exchange for Rabada leading our attack.

Rabada, Shami & Siraj instead of Bhuvi, Harshal and Shami is infinitely better.

Rabada is a spearhead.. 

 

 

Bübi is a sewing needle..

Let's make a case for Bhuvi 

 

• Keeper can stand up in the first over (so the WK is already primed for spinners too)
• Can swing the ball in PP
• Knuckle specialist 
• Yorker master 
• Decent bat (in fact a thinking/calculating batsman who does not throw his bat around)

Chetan Sharma's list on Bhuvi has 200 such points.

 

Don't supply him with more.

 

Otherwise we may see Bhuvi play WC 2042 too, as Chetan passes his list to his successors and so on. 

 

P.S ... He is such a yorker master these days that he does not want to try a single one in the 19th over.

More like pearhead, batsmen ready to pounce on.

Bhuvi is some sort of a head all right. 

 

Can't mention it here. 

[Swag]

If the game was being played on Excel i.e. stats, Bhuvi would lead the World XI, no doubt.

Ek pe ek? They can take Avesh, Mukesh and dozen other trundlers lol. We have no shortage of them.

Points against Rabada

 

• Bowls fast, which means easier for batsmen to score. Even top edges can go for a 6 
• His run up could impact the team's overrate where it may be forced to keep more players in the circle at the death 
• Swings his bat ... a brainless moron who does not understand cricket is cricket whether Tests, ODIs, or T20s
• Clueless in PP 

[zen]

Talking about stats (without accounting for conditions, opposition, etc.), Rabada goes at a 9 RPO at death (taking it at face value based on what was posted somewhere) 

 

Btw, what does the supposedly questionable 9 RPO equate to? -> 1 boundary & 5 singles, which teams will happily give at the death in lieu of boundaries

If this is just about t20s then I will take Bhuvi. 

 

Rabada isn't a good t20i bowler. 

[Adamant]

It looks like posters here haven't really seen Rabada in t20is, the guys gets hit even more than Shami. 

I remember Pant giving the last over in ipl to some noob instead of Rabada.

Whole thread is created purely to insult Bhuvi more. Some people have a sense of entitlement if a random person on the interest shares the same feeling as them. Maybe that's what gives Zen a good night's sleep. You broke the rules by stating the obvious.
