Next ODI WC is in SA where we are likely to see tennis ball bounce.  Iyer won't last 10 balls against top teams. 

SA loi pitches are mostly very flat now,and in ICC events pitches are quite flat and are not extremes (seaming )

But problem with Iyer is ,he is below to belowest average against bounce

Even Ganguly who had problems against short pitched deliveries had a terrific record in SA

I have not seen a badder batsmen than him against those deliveries

SA wickets are still pretty tough at times, depending on where they play.

Among left armer let's be honest Dayal was the best 

Tough luck Harshit.... Idk what's to say at this point.

 

GG wants to keep him uncapped till Retentions at all costs looks like.

[Number]

No Khaleel, Mukesh, Avesh.

Joburg is usually flat... Watched some of that SA v Aus ODI series before WC where Klassen was on a rampage 

Durban Joburg CT look pristine for batting... Ultra fast outfields.

 

Paarl Benoni Bloem Poestchfroom are tougher

Dayal bas been rewarded for his bowling today. Still don't expect him to play. 

He is backup pacer at best.  Not bad selection if options are Asdeep or Zaleel.

 

Harshit though robbed.

Yeah that's what I meant.  Joburg is a tough Test wicket with lateral movement and uneven bounce. 

 

But in ODIs(post 2001) , it has been much  much more consistent and allows  to score rapidly. 

 

Those latter 4 venues are wgre 300 is still a huge score

KL the phattu selected again

In a way good for Harshit as he will at least play Duleep Trophy games rather than sitting on Bench.

Exactly, it might inspire him to be better version of what he already is.
Ban series is of 2 tests, where I doubt pacers will be needed much. Australia series is the real prize where you have to play 3 to 4 quicks.

There is a Shadow A tour as well in November before Aus Test series

No medium pacer Mukesh

 

Harshit should have been selected and groomed for Australian tour.

Harshit >>> yash dayal from whatever I've seen.

Good decision to play Bumrah. No need to wrap him up in cotton for his entire career. Guy hasnt event played much test or odis.

IF he keeps resting, he will end with less than 220 wickets in career.

He doest play bilateral LOIs anyway. He has to play TESTS for India. 
 

Also, it is a test series. Not gully cricket. We need to win everything in front of us

. KL is better than his stats

 

Nobody is BETTER than their STATS

Stats show exactly what a player is.

Rest is all BS. 
Talent, charisma, bla bla bla 
KL is exactly what he is a 34 average batter who plays well once or twice in 10 tests.

This is the SAME BS that made RAHANE play well past his sell by date

[express bowling]

Harshit playing the next 2 Duleep games is good for him.

 

Looked really good in the first innings but lost accuracy in thd 2nd innings. Classic case of lack of FC match practice. 

 

Want him picked after Duleep Trophy is over. If it doesn't happen then it's bad.

[ungboysj]

Shami?

 

 

[express bowling]

Good squad apart from Dayal.

Wondering the same.  The guy has been out of action almost for a year now.   Still not match fit?

Yes,once he reaches his quota he hibernates

Infact they should even try to accommodate Jurel

I'm worried about even Gill,he's actually become 'the other kela'

He already turn into kl. 2.0
