Is Logan Van Beek better finisher than Hardik Pandya???

[raki05]

Van Beek has played this blinder against  2 time world champion and took his team to super six with a bonus . I don’t remember Bhandya in his 8 years of long career played an inning like this and won his team a crucial match in world event.

Kuch bhi.

Aisa kya ukhada hai Pandya ne icc events me apney 8 years career me. He doesnt have single match winning inning like this in ICC events.

[Majestic]

Yes

[vvvslaxman]

He has modelled himself on Shane Watson as per cricinfo.  Shane watson is known for great performance in finals/semi finals.

Aren't these Afrikaners (Boers) basically Dutch? They may get a good team in 5 or 10 years.

And who has Pandya modelled himself on since we are now considering the model?

He's born to Dutch parents in Nzl. Not an Afrikaner like Roelof van der Merwe who also now plays for Ned.

That was a freak performance that forget Bandya, no one would have achieved it. He smashed windies twice with the bat and then with the ball.He had an avg of 25 and strike rate of 80 before this.... Nope.. Bandya ain't doing ****. 

[cricketfan28]

May be,  time will tell.

[Adamant]

No, he can't bowl 145 kph like Pandya.

Then likes of Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Sen and Kartik Tyagi won't even get a single game.

All the trundleuddin's will be preferred.

It's not as simple.

Sandeep Sharma was preferred over Kuldeep Sen consistently...do you consider Sandeep a long time prospect ? Harshit Rana kept on warming bench and only got a chance when Umesh Yadav got injured (after taking 1 wkt in 8 games).

IPL glorifies "defensive" bowlers, as most of our pitches are slow and low bounce they don't offer any support to hit the deck pacers. Last season was an anomaly when we got supportive pitches of Wankhede to play along.

 

Same IPL is used as a metric these days to even judge Test performers, hence likes of Mukesh Kumar, Chetan Sakariya and Jaydev Unadkut get preference over the new pacers courtesy of they "experience" and defensive skillsets.

 

I know it's a private league and franchise select players for their own benefit. But there is no doubt our selectors consider IPL performance heavily.
