Popular Post express bowling Posted October 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Why are consolidators picked in white ball cricket ? 1) So that they can stop wickets from falling in favourable bowling conditions where T20 hacks won't survive. 2) So that one batter can hold the innings together and allow the hitters to go berserk around him without pressure. We have 3 consolidators in the top 3. Batters who usually take time to build their innings in big matches and reach high SRs only if they play past the 15th over. But we see that ... 1) Barring Kohli on certain occasions ( success percentage not too high ) , they usually fail when the seam bowling is challenging upfront. 2) If there are 3 consolidators batting in succession then how will the Stroke players play around them unless 2 are dismissed ? Let's say we picked Shaw in place of Rahul. ( or any other high SR opener who is in form ) what will happen ? Both will most likely fail in seam friendly conditions. But Shaw etc. will definite score at a higher SR in easier batting conditions. So, what is the purpose of having 3 consolidators at the top ????

Vk1 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Orange cap has a higher reward than strike rate in Indian cricket .. Prithvi Shaw will never get a long run.. Rahul/Rohit will be replaced by next Orange caps like Gaikwad but not by 150+ SR players express bowling, rollingstoned, Stan AF and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment

SinNombre Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Consolidators are picked so that they can inflate their averages by playing selfish innings on flat tracks. That gives them the fat IPL contracts and ad money. Is this a rhetorical question? India has always valued selfish consolidators - outside of Yuvi and SKY, who has not been a consolidator in the past 15 years? express bowling, diehardpacer, Rightarmfast and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Do you think Samson, or Shaw, or Kishan can be trusted here? Only Kohli did it in the past. Rohit did, but mostly in inconsequential matches. Link to comment

Atleast if they come off,we'll have better advantage express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment

I do understand where the OP is coming from based on our current team. no they tuk tuk on flat decks and fail to do even that when there is swing/seam. Recurring theme. Rahul comes with a premeditated mindset to tuk tuk whatever the situation express bowling 1 Link to comment

I do understand where the OP is coming from based on our current team. Most of Rahul's dismissals are from defensive shots or tentative pokes in big matches. One can still excuse Rohit as he was trying to hit a 6 and that is ok in T20s. Rahul should be removed from the top 3. Frustrated, SRT100, Mosher and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment

RajBan Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 We have proper quota based selection in this team. Senior Citizen quota - Ashwin Handicapped quota - Chahal Differently abled - Pandya LGBT - KL Rahul Not able to figure on which quota Bhuvaneswar plays. The guy is trying to bounce Miller without having any awareness of his own abilities. rollingstoned, Norman, adi B and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment
