Texan Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Pandya is becoming yet another allrounder who can't bat and can't bowl. Is it time we replaced him and another batsman with Dube and Nitish Reddy? Between Reddy and Dube, the expectation would be to deliver 4 overs and batting-wise, it would give our line-up some much needed firepower.

Nitish seems decent. Dube had been bowling well in Ranjis, but yes, his pace is a little slow. That dunb impact player rule means that we will likely not see Dube bowl much in the IPL if at all. The way Pandu is bowling, you can't even trust him with one over. So, either way we are going to go for lots of runs from his overs. At least batting wise, these two guys are able to hit out better than Pandu. Lone Wolf, raki05 and cowboysfan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Pandu was okay before the last over. But batting has completely gone off. Dunno who advised him to change approach to anchoring. Now neither does anchoring nor hitting Sgattick10 and cricspirit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As captain, he has had the luxury to bowl himself whenever he wants. He tried opening, was sh!t, then tried middle overs, still sh!t, now tried last over, and he was bullcr@p!! cricspirit and Lord 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikhil_cric Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If there is no fast allrounder of requisite quality available , then don't play a combination which requires one. Just develop batting allrounders who can bowl spin and play the extra proper fast bowler. cricspirit, Lord and New guy 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use them only when they can afford it. THey will use Maxwell. England uses Livingstone to fill the 6th bowling quota. Nikhil_cric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 One of the thing about NZ/Australia/England by default they are good in one supplement area which is fielding. That is where we are so far behind. Warner at this age is quicker than any Indian on the field. Then few guys have second skill like bowling. CUmmins with his batting alone won both tests and ODIs in recent times. THat is the luxury they have. India is a proper one-dimensional team. Only good in one department. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on the money. Dravid with his pathetic conservative mindset is clueless. T20s demands multi skilled players who can adapt to the match. Dravid and Sharma bring nothing to the table in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 By now we know the celing of all the players who have been playing 6 or 7 years. We clearly know who can do what in what situation.So f8**ing predictable. If they don't do a shake up in this pyjama format where else they will do. Every country has a separate white ball team. We don't see Zak Crawley, DUckett opening for England. rollingstoned and Texan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricspirit Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Dube should get into the squad. Has the power that is necessary to hit a six on slow balls, sluggish pitches etc. Plus looks like he has matured a bit from 3 years ago when we all agreed he was crap. His bowling if needed will give 5-6 extra runs over Pandya in 2 overs if needed to bowl. Even Venky Iyer is more useful as he is a tall left hander. Pandya just wastes a spot, throws the balance off in middle of a match by walking out, promises he will bowl and then does not, walks to bat like he is the second coming of Richards but extremely unreliable in any role. He is literally the worst all rounder to get. All of the other ones including Krunal, Jadeja, Axar are better than him in the sense that they will perform some games and deliver some utility. Not suggesting any of those ones must play but just saying how bad of a choice Hardik is if he cant even be better than Krunal. Hardik is the last on my name list of any list.
