vvvslaxman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Winners Jaiswal Gill Jurel Sarfraz Kuldeep Padikkal(albeit small sample) all these guys can consolidate their position Losers Bharat may have seen the last of him Patidar no way in again Shreyas Iyer his window has narrowed down significantly. There are guys like Siraj, Axar that will receive some scrutiny. Axar in particular as his role is currently ambiguous. His average n Australian series was 62/Current series 41.20. Although his batting improved. Can India afford to play him for his 30s and 40s at the risk of diminished bowling potency. Edited March 9 by vvvslaxman Vijy 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Biggest plus for me is Akashdeep. We badly need a couple of pacers who can bowl accurately at 140 k+ with the red ball. Hit the deck hard and get seam movement with bounce. Preferably tall too. Akashdeep ticks all the boxes. Edited March 9 by express bowling Vijy, cricspirit, Lone Wolf and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

express bowling Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Jurel is the best find as far as batters are concerned. That too a keeper batsman. We need temperamentally strong batters like him. P.S .. We already knew about Jaiswal. Vijy, cricspirit and Lone Wolf 3 Link to comment
tapandrun Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) IND Winner : Jurel - V.good wkt. keeper, Not that bad with DRS - Yes not Dhoni/ Kl level good but for 1st series he was good. Akashdeep- As noted by other as well Skiddy at and around 140 kmph, nice bounce , wanted to see him in the last test too if he is actually that skiddy or not Sarfarz - Good to see a domestic top run-getter getting into the team after, they nearly overlooked him for years, need to see him in SENA but has technique for Ind pitches and be the difference. Both were not supposed to be in Ind plans atleast not for couple of years, but in between a lot of chaos and picking low potential player Loser : Siraj - A part from 1 innings he was below average, mostly bowling under 130 kmph and if a debutant making him look like they are bowling of different surfaces ..... Hopefully TM fixes this no need to convert him to all format bowler let me play Test. ENG: Winner : Bashir - Classic old style off spinner, but need to see if he is longterm or not but a good series fr him. Loser: Bairstow : Think Eng's Bazball was mostly started by him and was to be revolved around him with Root/Oliver being their anchor Edited March 9 by tapandrun express bowling 1 Link to comment
Vijy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 for me, the biggest gain will be an unorthodox choice: it was kuldeep demonstrating the lost/dying art of wrist spin. even shane warney would have been proud of this display. let's not forget that he was bowling to a highly experienced batting lineup (3 with 100 tests in top 6, and 2 more with about 40 tests) and he was not bowling on dustbowls.

Bumrah, Ashwin, Jadeja. disagree with lumping kuldeep with this bunch. before this series, he had not played more than 2 tests in a series IIRC, and his previous test was 1.5 yr ago. these facts are very diff than boom-ash-jaddu, and one can almost consider kuldeep a "new" player. he entered with 8 tests. express bowling 1 Link to comment

He trolled and got trolled. how many of them are actually Eng? the few times Pak did well, we saw Pak fans emerge from the woodwork, some of whom were pretending to be from Aus, Eng, etc Link to comment

This is kuldep v2.0 . Deifnitely this is not the same Kuldeep we saw 2 or 3 years back. He himself admitted that he has made some changes. Link to comment
