NZ has mentally scarred our star spinner Kuldeep, while our batters have treated Santner as some sort of legend.

This *ing darter would have been assassinated on the cricket pitch by the likes of Sehwag, Gambhir....our current batting crop is treating such bowlers like Murali.

 

Shame.

What scarred? He took 2 wickets, bowled decently in the second half of his spell. This is an overreaction. This happens to the best of the best.

he had no answer to Mitchell stepping out at will and hammering him. 

 

The problem in his bowling is pretty simple ---- we was bowling outside offstump line when he bowled well against Pak and Aus.

 

Here he was bowling almost a legstump line,  ease to make room and hammer him.

 

My anger is against our batters..who just allowed Santner to bowl how he wanted. 

[cowboysfan]

cmon ,you cant expect every bowler to be impeccable every match.he has been outstanding for a long time.

[helperononline]

Not only santner even rachin was bowling well. We are missing left hander in the middle order. I feel shreyas should be replaced with ishan.

[Sooda]

Two totally different types of bowlers. Santner darting it into RHBs, and Virat especially has limited stroke options vs SLAs... Kuldeep relies on flight and on a pitch with little turn and so slow,  this was always going to be difficultfor him. He was always going to be targeted as one of 5 bowlers 

 

Kuldeep did well towards the back end with his bowling wide of off stump tactic

Santner is a tried and tested winning mentality player trained under MSD and CSK for years.

 

It's not fair to compare Kuldeep who has been in bad losing setups under bad captians to Santner

Then lets send MSD  a SOS to help Kuldeep

There wasn't any bounce on this track so getting down was easy for Daryl Mitchell.

Santner is not that easy to put away, always in the stumps, delivers the ball at the last moment after checking feet movements, the *cker can dart one over 100 kmph and loop the next one at 30 kmph.

Kuldeep came back very nicely.He showed lot of  resilience.

[Vijy]

Kuldeep got a hammering at the start; did well later. Klaasen is waiting for him, much like Rohit waiting for his vada paavs

[Frustrated]

Bumrah dropped a sitter. Otherwise Kuldeep would hv taken 3 wickets.

Boomer should field only when he is needed to bowl.

[ShanS]

Anybody can get tonked. Last 5 overs he got 2/25,should've had mitchell caught but boomer dropped the catch. 

[vvvslaxman]

Not an issue. He created a chance. Mitchell was put down by Bumrah. Still 2 wickets. They also paid respect to Jadeja even though he was not turning. Their attack against Kuldeep was preplanned as we have only 5 specialist bowlers. Any other ground he would have bundled them out.

[vvvslaxman]

 Let us not forget in a bilteral Kuldeep trapped Mitchell for 9. That doesn't mean Mitchell was mentally scarred. HE took chance. It came off as the ball did not even turn.

[Texan]

Kuldeep is mentally stronger than that to get scarred by a few shots hit. On Santner, he had the advantage of having Indian batsmen playing with the intent of conserving wickets after the openers got out and he bowled a good line. Occasionally bowlers like Santner will also have a good day.

We should just surrender the world cup to Klaasen and Mitchel - and let them fight for it.

 

We are too weak and puny of cricketing  country to have a chance against these  devastating hitting giants.

[bsriharsha]

Santner is one of the best spinners for limited overs cricket right now and so is Kuldeep. 

 

The only difference is one had an off game and came back well later and the Indians didn't want to take undue risks with Santner and allowed him to finish his overs (similar to how Jadeja was treated by the Kiwis)

We have to distinguish the difference. Santner is a fantastic possibly the best defensive spinner in the world. Kuldeep yadav on the other hand can leave you bamboozled. Fantastic offensive bowler.  This was probably the toughest track he had to bowl with no turn on offer and up against a proactive tall guy who used his long levers to good effect. Still almost got him.
