If Akash Deep plays, I would like to see him used as a floater, particularly if the pitch takes spin. he can go out there and smash a quick 20 or 30. Link to comment

Peterson is best batsman ever to wear English Cap. He would walk in to any side t20, Odi or Tests. Lets not compare him with current set of English Bats. To me, Swann is classiest Spinners I have seen in English Caps. It was sheer coincidence that both played in same English playing 11 and we were kissing dust Edited February 21 by mishra express bowling and Need4Speed 2 Link to comment
srgadjon Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Rested Bumrah. Allowed Joe Root to get back to form and score a century. About to concede a huge first innings lead and also will allow England get back into the series and go into final test with momentum. RGS and Dravid are so damn predictable. Have seen enough to see this as a pattern. Frustrated, express bowling and nevada 3 Link to comment

Have seen enough to see this as a pattern. we are likely to lose this series just because of "preserving" boomer, who bowled 80 overs in 3 tests, whereas 41-yr-old Andie bowled about 40 overs last test alone. nevada 1 Link to comment
The Realist Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bumrah bowled just 23 overs in the last match and that was after a 10 day break between tests. He is getting a handsome contract to play for his country. Broadcasters have also paid top dollar to see the major players on the pitch. This was the key test of the whole series, win it and series is wrapped up and then rest all you want. Dravid and Sharma truly are the dumb and dumber of international sport.

Frustrated Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Should hv rested Buffet Man Sharma instead. We will be better off not having a captain at all. Why continue with a useless non-performing lethargic tondu kaptain who spends more time in the air conditioned dressing room than on the field? Link to comment

tapandrun Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Ind is down to 2 bowlers (Bhumrah and Siraj) so if one of those gets injured then Ind would be a bowlers short in T20I Wc. Link to comment

Nikhil_cric Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If we keep playing only Bumrah, Siraj and Shami, how will we develop pace bench strength? Glad that Akash Deep took his chance to perform. Anyway with Bumrah's action , he shouldn't be playing that much cricket at any rate. Need to use him in a carefully managed way to ensure his longevity. Link to comment

WTC points are important and series wins are not as significant these days. Top tier test bowlers need to be bowling regularly to retain and improve their skills. You cannot predict injuries or form and if a top player is going to spend the games for which they are otherwise fit and firing "resting", neither the team nor the player will get the best use of their skills before their career finishes. Ultimately it comes down to the player and how strong his desire to excel in this format is. Kron and express bowling 2 Link to comment
