Project Patidar cancelled?

Ok, its over for Patidar. 

Thanks for your services, have no hopes in 2nd inns.

Please go back to domestics and retire now, international cricket isn't your cup of tea.

could be. his lack of fitness will also hurt overseas.

 

good thing is that musheer is shaping up well. he is supposed to be more technically sound than Sarf at the same age,

It's too early to say, I have always thought the swing & movement is the biggest nemesis of Sarfaraz, he can play spin well.

But today he was bogged down just with careful field setting. These are the small things which you won't find in domestic tournaments.

 

Need to see how strong he is mentally.

I think situation looked grim when he walked in. He should have been sent ahead before even spinners settling in. It was bonkers to send Patidar again at no.4  vital batting position.

[vvvslaxman]

 I personally think India should have more lefties than these right handers who struggle against both left arm spinners and off spinners.

[vvvslaxman]

England should have never crossed 250. If they were bowled out for 250. India would have had slightly better batting conditions for longer period. We could have surpassed the total as well. India  allowed their lower order to add 240 plus runs. Robinson scoring 58 here is  acrime.

Sarfaraz was the same way at that age and he was very fit too. Something happened in-between and hope he corrects it and hope Musheer learns from it.

I hope he doesn't need to bat, but knowing our batting, he will definitely do so... and will probably fail again

[Kron]

Sometimes its a fail. Sometimes its a win. Sorry patidar

I think TM will not drop him even in 5th test. I don't know why, but I feel like he has some powerful backers

Pradosh is 10 times better. Sai too
