Regardless of everything else, it is great to see Natarajan bowling well again!

He is already 33, regained fitness/form/confidence, 2nd best Indian pacer behind Bumrah this season. What are selectors waiting for? For him to turn 37 and bowl 120 kph knuckleballs and wide outside off BS?

A few years ago nattu was bowling 135 to 140 in first class. Then he remodelled his action. Got slower to about 131 to 137 now.

He has courage, even at 130 clicks he goes for yorkers in death overs, that's the kind of aggressive mindset we need.

I like him but this is a classic case of over hyping players that dont get selected. He is a medium fast bowler in his mid 30s with a history of injuries and has never hit a single 6 in his cricketing career. He rarely bowls with the new ball meaning you have a another non batsman in the playing 11 that can only bowl in the middle overs and at the death. Carrying him gives you a lot less flexibility in how you select the rest of the playing 11. He his basically bowling the same overs Harshal Patel bowls in and both are getting the same results.
