Why didn't Iyer play today?

Test match prep. I don't mind him not playing. But they should have played Patidar to see how he handles it. Win or lose doesnt matter here.

I remember either lanka or saf he dropped a dolly. In one of the bilat series

1-2 catches everyone will drop. I don't think he consistently drops.

Nice 100

Zorzi a massive upgrade over Opposition Ace Bavuma in the White Ball Formats ? No. 

 

Good SA can now play Zorzi instead of Bavuma and still meet the race quota requirements without compromising on the quality of the side. 

[Lord]

Raja Rinku Singh comes on and strikes immediately

[nitinbwj]

Gaikwad turned out to be a real fraud.

Which catches?

watch the games bishnoi played last 2-3. He *ed up 3 times atleast

[Frustrated]

Lots of questions being asked on why Iyer didn't play today.  The answer is obvious.  He is "preparing" for test matches.    "Preparing" implies his preparation for getting dismissed cheapy on short balls in all 4 innings of the test series.  Bookmark this.

Rinku looks like a capable part timer, using his body to generate the spin...why wasn't he used in T20's earlier.

[Austin 3:!6]

Oh Mookesh

[rageaddict]

Finished it with a Six Zorzi

I cant wait for pant to be back. Lord stop it already with bishnoi, he is another idiot who cant spin a ball. He is soooooo predictable with googlies n a terrible fielder. Kuldeep is improving which is great. We just sucked in finals, i can name 10 players who effed up that night

Bishnoi is perhaps the best fielder amongst bowlers...very agile and athletic.

Sure he has dropped few dollies, but he also has taken some stunners by moving quick in the field.

Team Ind getting humiliated badly.    Meanwhile all sports news channels in india are busy discussing only IPeeL auction.  Lage raho.......

Temperament over technique, remember Samaraweera scoring 2 back to back 100s there against peak Steyn/Morkel/Philander/de Lange?

Even if he gets to play 100 more test matches, his ability to tackle short ball won't change one bit.   Useless player who should NEVER be picked for any tests in SENA.

Yea seems like once you are a pro, it's so hard to improve against short ball if you were bad at it from the very beginning although not always the case. Some have improved. But with shreyas iyer I feel like I have been waiting for 10 years already.
