Rahul continuing his spending knock from WC final

 

[rollingstoned]

Patidar doesn't look like an opener, certainly not one for SENA. Why didnt Rahul open?

That saf tail and lo is going to frustrate us even if we manage to get them 5-6 down cheaply. 

And out tail will combine to score 15 runs. This will be the difference in the end. Either our batsmen need to learn how to bowl medium pace or spin. 

Or our bowlers need to learn to score 15 to 25 runs. 8 and 9 need to score.

I can digest the call ups for lot of people but why select the superstar Mukesh? Wouldn't his ranji side miss him? We shouldn't let him play international as his ranji team needs him if they want to make finals.

Actually he was good. He took bowling apart before succumbing to same adventurous shot. He probably can be good in the middle or he has to be a bit selective.

Yo yo. Check this out. Undauntterour superstar on new rule

The way Kela bats nowadays, he ensures we don't miss Dhoni's batting 

[ash]

Happy to see Sai in the mix, but he is very very boring to watch tbh. More like the other boring lefties from his state like Abhinav Mukund, Hemant Badani, Sriram. Maybe a long term number 3 in tests. 

[adi B]

Wtf ? Mukesh is in our Test squad? 

I'd rather take a Half legged Umesh or Ishant

Look at this G@ndu kela, inspite of wc chutiyapa this guy is not just in xi he is captaining. He make Rahane looks like viv richard. Rahane play faster than this in test cricket.

Haters gon hate. 

And gone. Tame af dismissal.

What a pathetic meek knock by Kela ,as always ,he's just a momentum destroyer 

[Number]

Kela gone. I so wish this was his last in white ball formats.

[raki05]

Kaun is bh***waley ko captain banaya hai. Look at this * head shaking as if he was wrongly given out. 

[rollingstoned]

Bad luck tbh. 

[raki05]

Ghatiya team, only Patidar today and Rinku have shown some fight, i will pick Samson 10000 times before this meek kela. Kelawa and dravidwa needs to be kicjed out. Bloddy leaches.

[raki05]

Kela reminds me of fixer Azhar who ised to suck momentum in mo and inspite of loosing so many matches still captained for long time.

Who will they pick him over though? 

Jansen?no

Rabada ? Definitely no

Ngidi? Yes I can see him replace him easy although ngidi is one of the main reason why we lost last time. 

Nortje  ? Injured as usual

Olivier? Gone to county and is slow

So I can see him play as the 4th bowler. Burger that is. 

 

Coetze vs burger is what it comes to. I would pick coetze over burger for now. 

 

Jansen wrecked us last time...  His higher release & movement & bounce at good pace was too hard to deal with. 

Think Burger will sit out of first game. 

Coetzee will likely debut in Centurion.  Iyer probably may retire after this series lol. 

 

Rabada may get fit as well.  He was in nice rhythm in WC.  Always gets lift in highveld. 

[Lone Wolf]

Should be end of Kela's LOI career...  Lodu meek pathetic player.
