Though he should hv never been selected. Vada pav should be held accountable for picking such sh!t players. singhvivek141 and rollingstoned 2 Link to comment
New guy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 14 hours ago, deepdynamo said: KL is the current villain among fans but I still prefer him as a middle order candidate esp on a tough tour of Aus. Atleast he has a solid technique and no harm having him among the pool of batsman. Miles better than Iyer and Patidar. He has been averaging around 30s always, thats his ceiling. And it doest make him much better than Iyer Link to comment
express bowling Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 13 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: I think there must be a few more like him who is yet to be unearthed because he doesn't have "stats". Selection should be a combination of stats and ability. If someone is likely to do well in overseas conditions he should be backed even if he doesn't have great record in India. I agree with your sentiment fully. But in case of Akashdeep, he has the numbers too. Averages 23 in FC after all of 30 games. Averages 24 in List A and 22 in T20s. Plus he is pacy, tall, bouncy and accurate. To choose Unadkat and Mukesh ahead of him was a travesty. SRT100, tweaker, Forever Indian and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

How could anyone pick Mukesh over Akash when you observe them in the nets? Its unbelievable. express bowling 1 Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Did we judge Sarfaraz too quickly? Couldn't bat under pressure. Just froze on crease. G_B_ 1 Link to comment

Some players perform better in nets than actual games. Some players just do bare mininim in practice and do extremely well in the actual game. In football there are many such cases express bowling 1 Link to comment

Anyway, happy that he is flushed out quicker than he arrived at the intl arena. LOL At least his presence hasn't cost us a match. express bowling 1 Link to comment

That credit goes to Jurel who had to bat out of his skins in both the innings to ensure that we don't lose. Today we were 120/5. (1 more wicket at that time would hv been curtains for us) rollingstoned 1 Link to comment

Forever Indian Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 3 hours ago, deepdynamo said: Did we judge Sarfaraz too quickly? Couldn't bat under pressure. Just froze on crease. Just one test. Also there is a difference that in first test there was no expectation on him, whereas in his 2nd test he had the burden of living up to the expectation. He seems to have the temperament, should give him a bit more time to do any judgement. Atleast he seems to have earned it based on his FC exploits. deepdynamo, Sandz and express bowling 3 Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 (edited) Patidar and Bharath are still carrying central contracts but only because they fulfilled the minimum crietiera. Mukesh is not going anywhere though, will haunt us in some way or other in upcoming matches. Iyer is a curious case. He still is a gun ODI player and should prioritize ODI as his best format.

kruiser Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Jurel will inevitably fail in 1-2 series.. then fans will start hankering for the next flavor of the season. Or go back to KL/ Ishan/ Bharat Link to comment

Or go back to KL/ Ishan/ Bharat I doubt Bhara will be discussed anymore. Remember Iyer was toast of the nation when he was new. But after his weakness was found he was called out. Same with Gill. It is going to continue. Fans will react to what they see currently. Nobody is an exception. Even Bumrah receives criticism. Jaiswal until does well overseas reserve your judgement He will also be under the pump when he fails one more series. Link to comment
kosingh Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Not sure how Patidar ever made it through. His record in all formats domestic cricket is unspectacular. Selectors probably just confused Patidar with Padikkal. Link to comment

Selectors probably just confused Patidar with Padikkal. Patidar & Padikkal have identical FC records. Both have unspectacular records. Patidar is older and has maintained that record for longer than Padikkal, that's the only difference. Don't confuse formats as Padikkal is way ahead in LOI but in FC both are similar. Both made it to the Test squad based on recent Ranji performances other than that there is nothing to separate them besides their age. Link to comment

Need4Speed Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Patidar also scored hundred against Eng Lions so got the nod ahead of Sarfaraz..Test doesnt look is format..may be he is more suited for LOIs.. there is also a possibility his strokepkay is more suited to pace as compared to spin.. But you dont have luxury of so many chances..should have scored..when opportunity was there.. Link to comment

Years ago I predicted he was one of the worst batsmen to get the hype he was getting He didn't have the high SR game against decent attacks ,all we had the perception of being one of the best strikers of ball against spin That final was played on slowest of pitches yet he failed(alongwith others) He is so perplexed about the length of the ball that he looses confidence in him and forgets about the nature of the pitch He tends to go back and play accordingly even on slow low surfaces Edited March 6 by Suhaan Kron 1 Link to comment

Or go back to KL/ Ishan/ Bharat Fans impact on selections is 0.5%-1/2% Favouristism,PR company,IPL franchise lobbying has more impact Kela has huge backing from above sections plus Coach Thanos Edited March 6 by Suhaan express bowling 1 Link to comment
