Some folks have the capacity to concede gracefully, or walk away, others keep taking passive aggressive potshots and make repeated attempts to "re-frame" the argument to tilt the discussion in their favor. Its a free forum - to each his own. Is that what you are doing above? This thread is only discussing bowlers not posters.

zen Posted October 9, 2022 Author Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) This is funny. Some of the posters were hyping up or whatever Bhuvi on some other thread based on whatever their goal was. I read that (participating a bit as well for fun) and felt that this would be a good (and funny) topic to discuss esp. from a spearhead opening bowlers PoV (much like how I would if I come across something somewhere or something crosses my mind). How is it my fault that Bhuvi does not measure up in people's opinion? Strange events but funny! Edited October 9, 2022 by zen
Norman Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 I really don't understand how Bhuvneshwar Kumar still has these many supporters left in 2022. He is a nothing bowler right noe, who is lucky that a trundler loving selection committee and eggsperience loving coach/TM are at the helm of the affairs. Or else he would have been playing domestic cricket with UP for the past 3-4 years.. Coming to this thread.. Even if Rabada concedes 80 runs in his 4 overs for 10 games in a row and Bhuvi is picking fifers upon fifers, I would still pick Rabada in my team if I have to pick between the two. The latter is just a better bowler with a proper fast bowler mindset of getting batsmen out (and not some "i look to contain" nonsense) and also a supreme athlete. It's a no brainer. One of the primary objective of a fast bowler is to induce fear in batsmen's minds in his run up. Bübi won't induce any fear in the mind of a no.11 batsman of Papua New Guinea U12 blind women's team.

What if we win the WC with a Bhuvi Michelle? Tab bhi?

Was he not instrumental in helping DC play the final? If I am not wrong, he bowled a super over as well! This yr, helped PK win a game here and there. In the recent series against Ind, he had a good spell making India work to chase a low total (got the wicket of Rohit) … In the 2nd game, he was expensive … In the 3rd game, he only gave 24 runs in a high scoring game and picked up Rohit again iirc. PS Bhuvi has become infamous for 19th overs! Edited October 9, 2022 by zen

You deliberately shifted the goalposts into "who's a spearhead". A very different question than who is a 'better' or more 'effective' T20 bowler. And for obvious reasons. The bottomline facts of the matter are that Rabada isn't even the "spearhead" for his own national team. 20 hours ago, zen said: yes, the discussion is for the spearhead, which is what "opening" bowlers are expected to be duh! Rabada (in t20s) is a spearhead all right. The only thing is, that spearhead is up his own team's ass.

Not surprisingly too childish a response! First, hilariously you talk about the poll which is optional and when the votes change w/ time (its 6 to Rabada now for e.g.; Btw, if you voted, note that your vote counts for nothing) Second, disturbingly to feel good if someone replies to even say "not interested"! ... I just got a sales call where I said "not interested", hope it was not you based out of one of the call centers thinking you got a sale mental issues Edited October 10, 2022 by zen Adamant 1
zen Posted October 19, 2022 Author Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Bhuvi not picked by Fox in its predicted team of the tournament ... Rabada picked Link Kagiso Rabada (SOUTH AFRICA) The South African quick edged out Australia’s Hazlewood. Rabada is quick, gets bounce and has been a star in the IPL in recent years. The fast bowler is made for Australian conditions. Edited October 19, 2022 by zen
