There is whole section on ICF praising about  fast bowling prospects who all bowl express. I have not seen many to comment on them.

 

So you are saying Dravid is not wrong in selecting these trundlers?

No. As I said Arshdeep is highest wicket taker in the world since 2023. Much better wicket taker than phaast bowlers who bowl express.

 

Express bowlers are needed in longer format where we can afford to concede few runs.

What happens if Dube had a brilliant series here and in IPL? We still drop him as soon as Pandya makes himself available? 

 

Both aren't happening anytime soon.

[putrevus]

Hitting odd 4 or 6 in any over does not make any batsman into thumper.

 

Can they legitmately hit 20 or 25 runs in any given over is what t20 hitting is all about. They should be able to hit 25 to 30 ball 50.

 

Other than SKY , I have not seen anyone do it consistently.But he is another guy who buckles under pressure.

IPL is not international t20s. They are many soft landing spots for both bowlers and batsmen in IPL.

Arsheep is not answer to anything.I don't care how many wickets he has taken. he will not do anything worthy in world cup.

 

Pace does not mean you have to be wayward.pace plus accuracy is possible. this notion that pace is only wayward is wrong.

You don't need more than 7 bowling options anyway

Then they have to prove it by being accurate. Haven't done so in chances they got. Arshdeep has taken his chances. 

 

Only guy worth trying is Kartik Tyagi. But even needs to prove by playing a full IPL season.

Won't be needed I guess

[The Realist]

Shiv Dube the new saviour?

 

Only 30 so a youngster in the eyes of Dravid

 

[coffee_rules]

Is that fog or smog (from paroli burning) in the stadium? 

[The Realist]

Damn Jitesh Sharma is also 30

 

The Old Farts really do keep a lock on their spots so players deemed young are closer to the end of the careers when they do get to play

[putrevus]

Who is better batsman Rinku or Jitesh.

I will take wicket taking ability over accuracy any day in t20s.

[Sgattick10]

Jitesh gone 31 of 20. Ok not bad
