Gollum Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Patidar is worse than Unadkat the batsman...at least Unadkat scored some precious runs in that 4th innings chase in BD. That pitch was 10x worse than this one and BD spinners were better. cricspirit 1 Link to comment

This is curtains for Patidar and his international career.. 3 tests and not a single decent inns on home ground. No debutant will escape from this. cricspirit, velu and express bowling 3 Link to comment
srgadjon Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Is there any reason why he played so meekly ? At least could have gone all guns blazing in his last test. Never seen any batsmen with so much self doubt and low confidence in recent years. Even a 19 year old Sai Sudarshan looked more confident in his first tour of South Africa. Anyway he got his chance and blew it. Link to comment

Rohit is a certified moron. So, he may continue with Patidar who will score golden ducks. But Team Ind will again find a way to win the test. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He should not have played this game,some guys dont have the mental strength to play Test cricket. Link to comment
daryl1985 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Feels harsh to drop someone so soon. However, he has not looked good and him being in the XI and getting a score would do more harm than good in the long run. Time for someone new. Link to comment
Chaos Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Damn what a disastrous series for him. Dont think he will ever be back in indian team again. Journey is done for him. Link to comment

I can't remember anyone looking this bad at international level. If i may say so he looked worse than KS BHarat. Kron 1 Link to comment

Seems like Dravid and Rohit rate him very high. But at some point he has to fire at home even if they are looking at him for Australia. He stays leg side of the ball like Gill so perhaps his technique demands pace and bounce. He should be better off playing ultra aggressive cricket at this point imo. He is made to look like KS Bharat & DK at this point... Link to comment
Adamant Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Both of them are not good enough for international cricket. I have seen Paddikal and I know a squealer when i see one. Also, selectors should look more towards mumbai/Gujarat and North India, modern South Indian cricketers often flatter to deceive and are usually very timid. There are no upcoming talented youngsters from the south, all of them are pretty mediocre, good enough just for that phony league IPL. Link to comment

Indian cricketers, Ashwin is the best, but even he goes missing very often. Link to comment
Vijy Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 we should have tried someone who has a game for tests. most players who came through the ranks and became successful had 60+ Ranji avg: SRT around 90, dravid around 80, VVS around 70; moving to modern era, Gill had around 70 at some point, sarfaraz was 70-80, jaiswal around 80, etc. Link to comment

Apart from KL Rahul i can't think of a specialist batsman playing Tests from South in recent times. Last one was M Vijay. We saw lohli sucking balls for 3 yeasr Then Gujara and Khanae averaging in mid 20s for 3 years. You sitll have to back the right player. North or South or West or East or Central. You have to let go of players at the right time. Link to comment

We have karnataka, andhra, hyderabad, Kerala as well. We can't summarily discard players based on region. Link to comment
