OTOH, watching Pujara bat is the equivalent of dragging your balls on hot sand. He has this delightful turn your shoulder technique against short ball raki05, Lord and Norman 3 Link to comment

Most of his tons were when someone else has done equal or even better. Rahane still has Lords 2014,MCG 2021. Link to comment

Adamant Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I will take Pujara over Bell bcoz Bell was a support act and Pujara was one of the main men. But Pujara is done and dusted now, especially in this era of high strike rates Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Bell was also the highest scorer for England in ODI (5K runs) at one point before post- 2015 wc revolution happened. Link to comment

putrevus Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Ian Bell all the way, Pujara has no business of playing 100 tests. Link to comment

To be honest i don't reacll seeing much of Bell. Jonathan Trott comes to my mind because Padosis used to celebrate him to put down Tendulkar. There was a time he was averaging 66. Since i have seen only Pujara i share the sentiment. Undeservingly he played 100 tests. raki05 1 Link to comment
raki05 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Budhara is the most mediocre player to play 100 test for India him and Bhuvi kumar are same kind of cricketer they both played Test and limited over cricket more than they deserved just because of good behavioural feature. Both are junks who have been carried on and on on the name of experience. Edited June 18, 2023 by raki05 sage and vvvslaxman 2 Link to comment
