Ultimate_Game Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 10 hours ago, zen said: If the stars perform in IPL, IPl form counts. If they don’t, “we look at other things besides IPL” Agarkar, basically, undid the move to field youngsters in T20s. Essentially, they have the team selected before hand and simply make up reasons to justify selections. In case of Abhishek, he's not experienced despite scoring 400+ as an opener at a SR of 200+. In case of Rinku, his IPL form isn't great despite averaging 89 at a SR of 176 in T20Is. So which is it? And in case of Rohit it's neither IPL form or performances in T20Is. Same with Siraj, Jadeja and most of Indian squad. Absolutely no accountability. express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowl_out Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 20 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: You see the pattern right. Can't miss. I remember Rohit randomly started using Kishan as opener consistently in every single international match right before IPL. He was using international match to give practice to Kishan as opener. Then SKY got introduced in ODIs/Tests. If you look at carefully KKR players are consistently sidelined. Most recent victim is Rinku. Venky iyer was dropped cold moment Pandya was back. Never given another look. Rana was never given a run either. This has been a pattern. Dhoni was Team India captain. CSK players were preferred over others. Remember Murali Vijay getting picked in the T20 side ahead of Uthappa. Manpreet Gony was selected for India. Virat was Team India captain. KL and a bunch of RCB players made merry. Rohit is captain. Now SKY, Ishan, Tilak etc get picked in many formats that aren't even pertinent to their skill. It might be Gill next. Expect Mohit to make a comeback.

This year in IPL he has 168 runs in 8 matches at 21.00 ave SR 134 Last year in IPL he had 516 in `14 matches at 36.85 SR 131 2022 in IPL he had 432 in 12 matches/3 no at 48 SR 150 2021 in IPL he was as bad as this year and he was removed as captain by Hyd and then in the WC had a point to prove. Then he was 34 but now he is 37 ..... but Warner having a point to prove is never a good thing for opposition. Still father time is father time.

I would've gone with McGurk to partner with Head. But Aussie selectors deserve benefit of doubt. After all their decisions - be it backing Cummins as captain across all formats, or backing Head, Marsh & Maxwell - have paid handsomely and they've won 4 ICC tourneys over the last 8 years. So you can't really argue with their method. Good thing with them is that if Warner fails this tourney, he's gone. Head of Cricket Australia won't name Warner as the opener for next tourney. There's a reason they've been so consistent. Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When nepo-baby Jay Shah runs cricket in the country, can't really expect anything else. It's such a sad state of affair being an Indian cricket fan The root cause of all this angst? IPL just before WCT20. Different conditions, different tactics, some different rules - so performances here may not predict WCT20 performances. But you can't look away. There is an easy solution here. Hold the WCT20 tourney before the IPL. Given that the IPL is the bigger deal financially for the players, their WCT20 performance can be the IPL audition. OR Have a multi-month gap between IPL and WC T20. Schedule a bunch of T20 series/tourneys (bilaterals, triangulars, quadrangulars ...). That way, every national team has an opportunity to try out their IPL performers and see who can sustain their form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
