Loving Hardik Pandya's captaincy!

[Trichromatic]

On the bowling friendly which is assisting spin more, Chahal has bowled 2 overs for 4 runs and 1 wicket while Pandya bowled full quota of overs for 25 runs.

 

Captain ensuring his economy rate is improved.

He wanted to challenge the team to bat in difficult conditions.

As long as you don't expect him to be a tactical genius,  you're good. They should just let him be his own man.

One doesn't need to a tactical genius to understand that an economical spinner needs to complete quota on tuner.

 

It seemed purely selfish that he completed his quota.

 

Hiding in difficult conditions will not considered as tactical failure in long run.

He is an Idiot, period. Not saying Idiots can't hold these positions for period of time.

The unfinisher strikes back.

Looks like due to his marvellous captaincy even a curator got sacked. What a captain!!

[gattaca]

Blaming the curator for the pitch was not ok. It was team India’s request to change wicket at first on short notice. Someone lost their job because of pandya. Dhoni handled these kind of things well.

* Bindas cricket - check 

* motivator and big picture thinker - check 

 

Ind’s best captain since Dhoni

MoS against NZ for runs, wkts, & CAPTAINCY!! 

 

 

Hardik Pandya is the Player of the Series: To be honest, my Man of the Series goes to the whole support staff. I have always played the game like this, tried to read the situation and what's required at that moment, and not have pre-conceived ideas. A lot of time I back my guts. I have got a very simple rule about my life and captaincy: if I go down, I go down on my decisions. When I played the IPL final, I felt the second innings was more spicier. We want to normalise these pressure games, and hopefully we can do better at bigger stages.

* Supported fast bowlers - He didnt try Umran enough. Umran should bowl in PP.

* Gave honest opinions (even when he was not the captain he is said to have raised the issue of Ind batting slowly in PP in team meetings) - check 

* Non formulaic captaincy (that confuses opponents) - He has his own formula. He bowls in PP. Once others know, they will plan accordingly. 

* Bindas cricket - Last T20 was not bindas. he was stressed.

* motivator and big picture thinker - check

Note that Umran is usually not bowled in PP where swing bowlers are mainly preferred esp. for the first 3-4 overs. In a couple of games, the pitches were also spin focused. 

 

Umran (much like a Lockie) is used more in the middle phase.

I am fine with the approach to play him in middle orders. But when the score is high, atleast he could have use him for 3 over to see if he has any swing or something.

Umran is not a swing bowler like Sir Don and Arshdeep. On occasions, he has also found it difficult to control new ball. Even in IPL, he rarely opened the bowling.

Whether the team played in Ireland or NZ away, or now SL in India, we can feel a positive energy and enthusiasm, along with fearlessness. 

 

After a long time, India has a street smart captain, who does not go by formulas but plays the situation at hand, backs the players, and s not afraid to lose! 

 

Refreshing, revolutionary, & rewarding captaincy!  

 

And with time, Sir Don is expected to get even better as a captain

 

 

Thank you Sir Don for bringing Excitement, Energy, & Enjoyment back to Indian cricket

 

 

Thank you

Did it happen again?

[express bowling]

Why is he playing with 2 medium pacers and no fast bowlers ? 

 

 

[express bowling]

Samson is unlikely to work if he bats at 5 to 7. He has low SR batting in these positions. 

 

Hardik needs to understand this.
