Akashdeep is currently better than Siraj..he is a sidekick at the most..so I am looking at Boom and the #3 bowler to be agressive for wkts..

also these are not the order of priority..

Boom qualifies as #1 but  #2 is not 2nd most effective bowler or #4 Reddy is not 4th most effective bowler..they are just slots..

 

so a spinner can also be you 2nd or 3rd effective bowler...

 

I will agree with you on  that they have not found our slot #3 bowler..this affects the penetration of our bowling unit..

akashdeep's not convincing to me, neither is siraj.

even trundler king may have kept it on a consistent line and length. even the "great" undercutter

Mukesh is much better than Siraj and would've performed way better.

I reckon he would have done better in this particular test

He would have. He was taking wkts in A matches against Aus as well.

Mukesh will drop catches left right and center and contribute zero with bat.
Siraj atleast pretends to run fast, Mukesh is slow there as well.

we need him to do well at his primary skill, i.e., bowling. batting and even fielding (to an extent) are a bonus.

I read "bails" as "balls".

We hear it Bumrah

Am grateful for the 3.5 hrs. of cricket we got to watch yesterday. No words can describe the emotions watching those spells from 93. And how ably he was backed up by the other two pacers. Unreal!!

it's a pity he was vastly overbowled and mismanaged. totally ran out of gas after his first 14 overs. last 10 overs, especially last 2-3, were painful

Rohit has no idea how to manage Bumrah and that's why Bumrah should be the captain. At the very least he would be able to save his body as captain fatman has no clue other than to throw the ball to Bumrah.

went from 4 wkts in 12 overs - to 11 more overs of tight, but unpenetrative bowling (zero wkts) - to getting smashed in last over. all because of overbowling.

And with SCG Test starting right after, if we lose the toss and have to bowl first, we're done for. Never seen one player carry a team so much.
