Indian bowlers comparison by bowling position (last 3 years)

[vvvslaxman]

This is against regular Test sides. I know bowling position can vary.  Top image India. Bottom image world.

 

Opening Bowlers. 

 

Mohammad Siraj is hansdown is one of the best new ball bowler in ODIs. He just needs a partner. I think India might once again fall back on Shami or worse case Bhuvi.

Jadeja not shockingly didn't top in any group. In the last 3 years Jaddu played only 12 games. But he averages 56.14. ER is 5.24.  12 matches 7 wickets. Sundar who is lesser bowler than Jaddu has 15 wickets in 15 matches with 24.66 avge and 4.86 ER.  This is also the reason why collar chewer manages to stay relevant. Jaddu should be playing t he role of Shakib. Axar averages 32 in last 3 years 13 wickets in 14 games with an ER of 4.82.

how is Pandu doing?

We can go with Boom and Siraj as opening bowlers and keep Shami on bench. Play Shardul as 1st change bowler. 

Pure 3 pacers then Pandya is an overkill imo.

 

From no. 6

--------

Pandya

Jadeja

Shardul

kuldeep

Bumrah

Siraj

--------

 

[vvvslaxman]

In Tests We have no.1/no.2 all rounders in the world.

 

1) Jaddu

2) Ashwin

 

Look at ODIs.  Shakib is world.3 Test AR, world no.1 ODI AR, world no.1 T20 AR.

Just needs to last important games of WC and Asia cup. Then we can wrap him in cotton wool.

Sundar does not bat fast enough to be played at 7.  Also, he flopped with both bat and ball against NZ in the recent ODI series.

 

His batting has to improve a lot. Otherwise specialist off spinners are obsolete in white ball.

He can only bat at 8.

If they want big hitting down the order India's only option is Hangarkekar and Harshit Rana. Spinners are not hitters

Shami will offer far more value than Thakur. Thakur won't get much batting in most games, if he is batting lot of overs at 8, the game is already gone.

 

Shami is genuine wicket taker in ODIs. Did well in both WCs.Just don't use him in death and he's fine.

I think it is too late for him to get a serious consideration in WC or Asia cup unless he does something exceptional in Ireland. But after he did well in NZ they could have pushed him to bat at no. 5 and SKY at no. 6 which is a natural position for a T20 striker. A leftie in Middle order would have been really good. Jaddu has become totally useless with the ball and nor has he ever been a good striker down the order.

Axar is better than both.

They way Axar is used as a bowler is not showing any encouraging signs. Any time a side is playing a  left hander they don't bowl him at all. It is almost like they want to keep him away from left handers. India has no spinner to bowl to left handers except Kuldeep who can spin both ways

Horses for the courses is the way to go in terms of bowling department. Pitch condition. Opposition have to be a consideration while choosing bowling combo.
