The 140 clicks ball sums to remove no.9 sums up why we need Krishna. Better to

hope he keeps improving instead of line and length trundlers 

 

Summed up perfectly.

Skills are there, execution is what he need to improve.

2 wickets of Root and Bethell on D4 was the turning point of the match.

Execution also there now and then. Consistency was a problem. And for whatever reason, he seemed to bowl faster in this match. Maybe TM defined his role to be more of a strike-bowler here but to just try and keep it tight in the other matches (which he didn't, of course).

He does get steep bounce and has a a devastating Yorker, he just needs to keep it tight when things are not going his way ,need to control his lengths as well ,bowls some trash in between .

But still has all the ingredients to be a good pacer

Hello Mr. Trump.

[Bigg Brother]

5th highest wicket taker with 14 wickets. I still think ODIs will be his best format.

He is not in the same league as Bumrah, Siraj or Shami. But is good for an away tour as a backup. On flat pitches , everybody failed including Suraj. But gets singled out. 

People don't understand experience. Experience is gold in test cricket. He was just 3 test old before this series, not much FC experience too.

But you give experience to young bowlers based on promise and age. Right now, for Red-ball cricket:|

Prasidh, Akash, Harshit (pace)

Arshadeep , Mukesh,  (trundler pace)

 

Counting out Siraj as he has been promoted to top tier after the Eng series.

Yes, for Indian bowlers, you have to pick them young because they take their time to learn the bowling of test cricket.

Not when they are like Kamboj. A young Prasidh should have been groomed earlier when he still had pace and bounce. Now it’s too late for him to learn but still one of the best red ball options we have

Regarding Siraj, he was disappointing in Australia series. Pace barely crossing 135. Big reason, we lost that series. He did pick wickets but not at the right time. Those were more bowling friendly tracks than this series. Bumrah averaged 15ish. Siraj 30+. Bumrah alone was taking the burden.  If he hadn't done well in this series too, he would have been dropped. He is anyway poor at home.

I am not saying pick bowlers like Kamboj. I am saying pick bowlers like Harshit who has good pace and young. Not picking Harshit for this series was a blunder. He would have learnt a lot here.

Half the seasons he was injured. 

[The Dark Horse]

He needs some training/tweeks may be? Better to invest in him and hope he turns around..

How can a 29 year old don’t have much FC experience ?

People come up with weird excuses... nearly 30 and can't bowl good line & length consistently. Tired of seeing his short & wide or down the leg tripe.

Because he hasn't played much FC cricket due to injuries. Josh tongue at 24 years of age has played 60 FC matches. Carse has 58. 

 

Prasidh has played just 20 Ranji matches in 7-8 years.

Age has nothing to do with it. It's the bowling itself that leads to consistency. If you haven't bowled a lot in yous career, you are not going to develop accuracy.  Bowling itself develops control, not age.
