srgadjon Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 You cant judge a bowler based on T20 and that too on a patta wicket, where even 210 was chased. The average run rate was 10 RPO in both innings, how do you expect a bowler to do miracles on such pitches ? T20s are basically for batsmen to score boundaries, cant be too harsh on bowlers.

G_B_ Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 How does the pitch being batsman friendly take away the fact that he is a terrible fielder , cant bat and has poor situational awareness? See in key games you cant have a weak link. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Was watching highlights of the 2007 t20 wc. We fielded like animals. Not a weak link in the side. See i dont expect pacers to bat. But atleast field well? You might not bat every game but you will field no matter what. Where is the fielding coach in all of this. You are only as good as your weskest link.

G_B_ Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 India need 8 batters. We can afford to carry 3 bowlers or number 11s. Atm we dont have batsman who cant turn their arm like a sehwag or raina. Bowlers who can bat like a Agarkar or Irfan pathan. Where is the Indian travis head? Link to comment

Same with 2011 WC finals we killed the game in the first few overs with some awesome fielding effort, this time it was Australia killing it on the field. its kind a of a precursor to what is to come.

Aim should be in this decade to produce lots of ARs. Tilak, Sundar etc should be heavily invested in. Raj Bawa too. Link to comment

Don't want too many allrounders,they make everything mediocre.Maybe 2 all-rounders at 7 and 8.That too ,they have to be in good form. Ideally want 2 high quality bowlers who can bat at 8 or 9. The other thing in our conditions top order batting is too easy ,so lower order middle order doesn't get much exposure. express bowling 1 Link to comment

We need high quality bowlers who can bat somewhat at 8 and 9 .. like Cummins, Warne, Marshall etc. And top order batters who can bowl somewhat .. like Sehwag, Ganguly etc. Make the proper bowlers practice batting. And proper batters practice bowling singhvivek141 and MediumPacer 2 Link to comment

It depends on what's our expectation for an "allrounder"...our judgment often gets clouded due to the bits & pieces players we have in our team. For ex. Jadeja who is not a no 6 in ODI/T20..but can easily play at no 8. Someone who is batting at no 7..I would atleast expect him to be a 6-8 over bowler and give me 30-40 runs with bat. Shaun Pollock, Darren Sammy, Chris Harris, Washington Sundar etc. Hardik is also a no. 7 but for some reason he sees himself more as a batter, while his stronger suit is bowling. For a no8, criteria is he should be a 8-10 over bowler and score atleast 20-30 runs with bat. Chris Woakes, Philander, Bhajji, Jadeja, Ashwin are ideal no 8. No 9-11 should be pure bowlers...but if my 9 jas ability to make 10-20 runs and tonk few hits as well...any score of 15(10) or 17(12) is fine with me. Akram, Swann, Brett Lee, Southee etc are the ideal no 9...pure bowlers who can bat decently. No 10 & 11, frankly no expectations..but they atleast should be able to rotate the strike. Our current crop of Bumrah, Shami, Kuldeep, Bhuvi etc are all no 10..while likes of Prasidh, Siraj, Arshdeep, Mukesh etc are hopeless no 11's. Link to comment

I would rather go for starc and Cummins at 8 and 9 ,than woakes ,Willey ,Curran or hardik. Maybe in t20s you can pick more all-rounders down the order, but not in odis. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Both are better bat than Shardul who we play as our allrounder. If we get guys like them in India...Cummins will bat at no 7 & Starc at no 8. rollingstoned and express bowling 2 Link to comment

Don't want to burden them too much,I would first sort out the 5 batsmen and 4 bowlers , because they have to be the core of the team,and then improve their out cricket but the difficult part is to find the no 8 and 9. The all rounder if found can then fit in. Link to comment
