Barf(i)

[daryl1985]

Jaiswal - outstanding at home

 

Jurel - good with gloves, excellent

with bat. Very good temperament.

 

Kuldeep - excellent bowling, proved value with bat.

 

Gill - had some luck but fought back well after many (including myself) thought he perhaps could have been dropped.

 

Sarfaraz - showed promise that he can be good at home, maybe should have scored more runs.

 

Zak Crawley - Very good series, looks like the English persistence with him is  paying off.

 

Shoaib Bashir - promising spinner.

 

 

——

 

KS Bharat - sadly don’t understand how it ever got to a point where he started for India.

 

Iyer - poor shots to get himself out and may not get a chance for a while.

 

Siraj - very underwhelming, expect more.

 

Patidar - done in tests for a while, kept getting out the in horrible fashion.

 

Stokes - captaincy fine but horrible with bat.
 

Ollie Pope - one fantastic innings but in hindsight very lucky and terrible for the rest of the series. 
 

Wood/Robinson - did not offer enough.

manju apparently got "excited on commentary". he must have been squealing and shrieking in pleasure like the women were in the fabled 60s concerts of the beatles.

Pope was terrible

 

[Laaloo]

Loser: Dravid

 

Kept backing the wrong horses until his hands were forced and the new selections proved their worth as soon as they got a game.

One off final is rubbish for tests but yes he needs to show up In the final.

Yea it sucks we need to fix it. 

What we have to do is pick players who play well under pressure for ko games. Which means we should even drop bumrah if he struggles in ko

Bumrah went missing in many key matches both in tests and white ball cricket.
