Should have just stuck with Kuldeep rather than wasting an international cap. Yes they have wasted a cap on a guy who is at the fag end of his career. There are so many under-19 talents that have come through in the last 8 years.

I don't think they have to pick off spinner for the sack of picking. If there is no one good , go with left arm spinners or wrist spinners. I say 19 out of 20 decent spinners are left arm spin.

putrevus Posted August 26 Posted August 26 (edited) 33 year old should look more ready than he has looked in both innings. This test like all other tests in recent past has again exposed the flaw in having bits and pieces players playing test cricket. If Jadeja is playing, he has to be supported by two full time wicket taking spinners.Jadeja has no ability to run thru sides anymore. Sundar with his 50 plus bowling avg in 9 tests played in 2025 is not the answer either.Imagine if Suthar was also inept like these guys. Edited August 26 by putrevus tweaker and Vk1 1 1

I actually wanted Gurnoor to play in his place. He has taken 3 wickets already and make take 1 or 2 tomorrow, which is not bad for debutant. The problem is we expect debutant to run through side but there is no expectation from seniors Jadeja and Siraj. 3 test old Suthar is expected to take another 10 wicket haul putrevus and express bowling 2

Number Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) How are Ranji level batsmen even getting out to this guy ? He looks so innocuous. Have levels of Ranji batting fallen so low ? Edited August 27 by Number Frustrated 1
Frustrated Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) Looked ineffective with the ball in both innings. With the bat, got out cheaply to a nothing ball on a flat pitch. Mostly, won't be getting another chance. Edited August 27 by Frustrated

Gambhir has strong likes and dislikes,ie Sarfaraz, Tanush,Eashwaran. Tanush Kotian to be fair played A game in Australia. Wasn't impressive with ball. He is feisty batsman. But he cannot bat above 8. He is not in the class of Sundar with bat. Definitely a fighter. Younger. SHould have gone with him if they were dead set on playing an offie
