How are these pitches? I am not sure scores like 350 plus can be taken seriously. I am more curious about bowlers here.

Its similar to any other season in last 3/4 yrs now. Some mismatched sides, some v.good batting wkts and some bad bowling.

Saw mah vs pjb highlight, pnjb bowler were unable to get Arshin he scored a 100 they did not try to bounce him or not had the pace.

 

raj vs vdb khaleel and aniket kept bowling shot to nair who had no issues tucking them around the corner or play some well timed pull/hook.

K.Sharma (raj) wkt-keeper batter looked good but can he play the intnl level pace ??? The issue is unable to gauge a batter as most bowlers are sub 135 kmph and these days most batter can club 4/6 if its in their zone

Arshin scoring 100 is a big read flag. That guy is a pure tennis ball hack.

Padikkal another karnataka batsmen who is too good for indian cricket but he may never make it in International cricket.

Padikkal's problem is high pace.

Plus his lack of footwork and all hands approach will cause similar issues that we see with Kohli.

I was reading his name as Simran (DDLJ hangover). Kept wondering why does a guy have such a name. TIL it is Smaran.

You need to "smaran" the name of Smaran.

Kar loses 2 quick wickets - small hiccup. 4 down

You mean too much smaran of the name of Simran. Need to un-smaran. Another Simran in cricket is Prabsimran Singh

Karnataka has always been a very strong domestic side. Not surprised there. 

 

But this is the issue with domestic. Padikkal played a slow 70 odd knock against an attack with Kamboj as their best seamer. And even Kamboj is nowhere close to elite international bowlers like Rabada or Cummins. 

 

Rest of the trundlers are not even worth mentioning.

Not winning any major tournament in last 10 years, always losing in KOs, they are the mirror of the Indian side who loses key ICC KO moments.  Phattu team compared to 2013-15 era of Vinay Kumar.

 His first class average is 42, not 60 to be called too good. Has a extraordinary list A average.
