Popular Post express bowling Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) What are the reasons / logic behind these strange decisions by the TM and Selectors ? 1. Wanting a pace bowling combination of 2 medium paced swing bowlers + 1 Slower Cutter bowler and just 1 Fast bowler for a T20 tournament in Australia ? No tall, hit the deck pacers were chosen for these bouncy pitches. 2. Bumrah was injured atleast a couple of months before the WC, but the replacements / backups were not played in a single preparatory T20I before the WC. ( Shami was Bumrah's replacement and Siraj a backup to Shami ) Even if Bumrah were not injured, backups should always be kept ready. 3. Harshal was projected as a first choice regular and ate up preparatory games when fit, but did not get a single match in the WC. I don't like him but if the TM did then why this sudden turnaround ? And if they don't like him then why did he get preparatory games ? 4. Why wasn't any new pinch hitter opener even an option to up the ante if Rohit / Rahul failed in this aspect ? Why weren't that many tried in this role and kept ready as backup to Rahul atleast, if not the first choice ? 5. Why was Avesh the sole candidate for tall, hit the deck pacer during preparation ? Why weren't one or two among Khaleel, Sen, Prasidh, Dayal, Mohsin ( If fit ) were tried ? And we went to the WC without this type of essential pacer while many teams had multiple. 6. DK is a known choker in big events. Why was he brought in and then dropped at the end when he could not deliver ? Wasn't that the most expected outcome anyway ? 7. Why was Bishnoi totally out of the picture after a really good game against Pakistan in the Asia Cup ? On the face of it, it seems like lack of clarity of thought, lack of planning, disregard for playing conditions in Australia and disregard for types of players needed to win big LOI tournaments. Please discuss and add to these points if you deem fit. Edited November 10, 2022 by express bowling coffee_rules, AKane, Sgattick10 and 21 others 1 13 1 9 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 to put it short- they see T20 cricket with eyes from their playing years.. true for fab 5 as well.. we need professional t20 selectors/TM.. we need someone like Andrew Strauss who backed Morgan and gave him freehand to build his own explosive team.. Pandya needs that support now Suhaan, express bowling, SRT100 and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Or if our openers weren’t inept and could give us 60 in 6 overs of power play. Is that so much to ask? raki05 and express bowling 2 Link to comment

Indian batsmen have become poorer against spin. If our international players played some Domestic cricket from time to time, they could have kept this aspect sharper.

chewy Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 come on...let's be serious...like @zen has been moaning, there is no T20 talent within India at elite level. The top Indian cricketers are overhyped prima donnas. Selection is secondary issue in T20 for India, after over decade of IPL...we still struggle find a bunch of 145-150kph bowlers and big hitting batsmen. It was just embarrassing watching KL, Rohit and Kohli batting 1,2 and 3...these guys are not T20 material yet must have played 70% of balls India faced. India isn't a bad T20 team but they will not win a T20 world cup with these physically limited type players. raki05, Laaloo, Vk1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment

We need one fast bowler who can bowl 145+ just to disturb the rhythm of the batsmen.... Edited November 10, 2022 by AKane express bowling, SRT100 and raki05 1 2 Link to comment

The questions here are regarding strange planning and preparation. Like playing a bowler in the WC without any preparatory games or not preparing a backup for an injured guy or ignoring the primary bowler type needed in Australia.or not playing a guy after wasting lots of prep games on him.

And more than release speeds, Shami of 2022 lacks the fire and hostility of Shami of 2013 to 2020. 8 minutes ago, AKane said: We need one fast bowler who can bowl 145+ just to disturb the rhythm of the batsmen.... Totally agree. And atlesst 2 such pacers will be even better, to bowl in tandem when the ball is not moving and firing in 145 k+ yorkers at the death. SRT100, raki05 and Mosher 1 2 Link to comment

The deeper issue is the brand of cricket that the Indian Cricket Fraternity has usually wanted and promoted for decades. .. Humble players and good boys .. Trundlers .. Short pacers .. Finger spinners .. Spinners who can't turn the ball much .. Economical bowlers over wicket takers .. Consolidating batsmen .. Batters who play for individual milestones .. Inner coterie players who are undroppable even if they don't perform Just listen to the commentary of Indian domestic matches and these strong preferences becomes clearer. Such types of players are promoted from Club Level to State Level to Internationsl Level. It's not lack of talent but preference for wrong type of talent at every level.
