SRT100 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 1 hour ago, express bowling said: Very good decision. No point persisting with an unfit player, no matter how valuable. And Prasidh is a very good pick. Prasidh should have been in the original squad in place of pseudo allrounder Shardul. Great decision going with Prasidh, provides great cover for our three pace bowlers, we already have Ash covering the two spinners. Kishan there to cover any batsman and or the keeper role. Thakur sticks out really badly as a poor decision, I guess the thinking was that he was probably cover for Pandya. I would rather have Ash come in for Pandya than Thakur. Link to comment
SRT100 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 1 hour ago, express bowling said: Exactly. Prasidh should play vs Netherlands. I would play him vs SA and maybe not expose Shami to them? In case we play them in the finals. I would even play Ash and Kishan too. Kohli, Iyer and Sky maybe combine as the 6th bowler. India must not overplay their hand here and expose their bowlers in "practice game" vs SA. Frustrated 1 Link to comment

In domestic it should be mandatory that all batsmen have to bowl few overs and bowlers have to contribute with bat, what else domestic tournaments are there for?? BCCI seems to be going in opposite direction by introducing rules like Impact player. When we have rules like this batsmen will never develop bowling skills raki05 and AuxiliA 1 1 Link to comment

I don't think any other bowler can challenge siraj shammi today. Umesh yadav is close too but now he is not at his best. Kaveraapa is improving fast, avesh is improving, selectors consider Mukesh kumar also good. Some left arm quicks are also good . We are fond of umran and tyagi too. Link to comment

wanted_desi Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Bumrah,Shami and Kuldeep should rest against Ned. Link to comment

Lord Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 8 hours ago, Frustrated said: Most disappointing thing is Kuldeep's batting which has regressed a lot. 4 yrs ago, he used to be a sort of handy batter at no 8 or 9. Not any more. No he was never handy in LOIs. Could hang around in Tests which he still can. Link to comment

Lord Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 7 hours ago, express bowling said: Because, in the absence of Hardik, India has to play 3 specislist quicks and cannot play Shardul. We need a backup for the 3 existing specislist quicks. We already have a backup batter in the form of Kishan. Moreover, Axar cannot bat in the top 6 or even at 7 if Jadeja is the 6. And Tilak hasn't played a single ODI and is an unknown entity for this format. We already have 3 quicks. What we don't have is a 6th bowler if one of the main ones get injured on the day. Thakur should be niggled out too. Link to comment

Gym fitness/six pack abs dont equate to match fitness. Even Sundar isn't fit despite looking fit. Link to comment

What player can control is their fitness levels.Pandya has done everything to remain fit and athletic. Pandya is live wire on the field and can field almost anywhere.He is not getting injured because he is doing gym. Link to comment
urbestfriend Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have a feeling that not having a backup bowler will hurt us in the semi or final..It's too risky to go with just 5 bowlers, if one of them is injured at the beginning of the match, the match is gone for good. We should still have a 6th batsman who can bowl a bit and tilak varma should've been replacing Pandya and he should play instead of Surya at 6. Link to comment

That injury didn't look serious upfront but he's still to recover. Rohit OTOH hardly gets injured. Even Shami is very fit for a pacer. Link to comment
Lord Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 We had a great chance to bowl Kohli,SKY,Iyer etc for 3-4 overs each v SL. Dumb not to utilise it. Link to comment
Chaos Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Geez. Should have added rinku singh. Him v sky. Also a left hander!!!. What did jaiswal do wrong also not getting squad. Krishna is a buffet bowler for sa with his line Link to comment
