Big hitters to watchout for in this World Cup


Serpico

Recommended Posts

How many of them can do it on the big stage? 

 

England

 

Buttler - 3rd WC. Career sr 117; WC sr 126

Livingston - 1st WC. Career sr 116

Brook - 1st WC.

 

JB has the most experience and is the captain as well this time. It'll be interesting to see how explosive he'll be with the added responsibility

 

Australia

 

Maxwell - 3rd WC. Career sr 124; WC sr 169

Marsh - 2nd WC. Career sr 94 (125 as opener)

 

Marsh has barely played in 2015, looks like a different player since he's being used as a pinch hitter in LOIs. Maxwell has been doing tho forever and another opportunity for him to give us the big show.

 

Newzealand

 

Bracewell: 1st WC. Career sr 118

Chapman: 1st WC. Career sr 107

Phillips: 1st WC. Career sr 90

 

Most inexperienced bunch of hitters among the big teams. However none of them are young, so this is a case of hungry veterans finally getting an opportunity to shine in the big boys club. Exciting prospect for NZ fans

 

South Africa:

 

Klassen: 1st WC. Career sr 111

Miller: 3rd WC. Career sr 103. WC sr 117

Jensen: 1st WC. Career sr 116

 

Some scary names, two of them playing their first world cup. Can Jensen fill the shoes of legendary Klusener? Can Miller use his experience to get rid of the choker tag?

 

India

 

SKY: 1st WC. Career sr 105

Pandya: 2nd WC. Career sr 110. WC sr 112

Iyer: 1st WC. Career sr 97

Kishan: 1st WC. Career sr 102

 

One big disadvantage is only one among sky/iyer/kishan will be in final xi. So big task for Rohit's Gut in the next 45 days. Iyer is the spinner killer with 'clutch' cred, kishan is the lefty and sky is the.. mr. 360 for some and mr.0 for others. Unfortunately none of them can bowl so they must compete with each other. May the best man win

 

Pakistan

 

Iftikhar: 1st WC. Career sr 104 

 

 

Who else? Salman? Shakeel?? Pakistan has the weakest power hitting this time. Long way from the boom boom era. Can chacha do it for the boys?

This is why I believe India's best XI for WC includes both Iyer and SKY, with Jadeja being benched in favor of Ashwin as 2nd spinner.  Pandya can be asked to bowl full 10 - not for entire tournament, but for a couple of crucial games.

SKY is not a big hitter technically. Just a smart hitter who uses angles albeit with so much risk. Almost every Indians are capable of Big hits. Gill, Rohit, Kohli, Rahul. Just that they have to switch to different gear to do that.

Almost every modern odi batsman is capable of going big after getting settled. However the above mentioned players have the reputation of being super fast even by modern standards

For NZ you have Jimmy Neesham as well

For Straya...Stoinis & Green can be explosive

SA... Markram will start slow..but is a powerful hitter

India...Gill May not be a "power hitter", but packs a punch and can score at a berserk strike rate

Pakistan...Fakhar is their motor engine for 300+ scores. It's malfunctioning now is a different problem

SL..Dasun Shanaka ?? Kushal Perera should have been their powerhitter.

I think we're missing Aiden Makram.

 

He's a very clean striker.  

He starts slow, hence people often ignore it.

But once set he has power to clear any boundaries. Has good experience in India playing for SRH, was their crisis man last year (this year it was Klassen show all the way).

I think we had Haris but he isnt in 15. 

 

I would say Shaheen is our best hitter LOL. 

 

We really needed Saim.

Rizwan can hit at the death( 110 SR) but even then he is no match for the best.

 

If Pakistan loses 2 wickets in the Powerplay, they will be beaten almost every time by a top 6 side. Unless Saud is an exceptional batter, I don't see this changing.
