They've picked him as a replacement for Ishu ma but that *er was easily the worst player to play 100+ tests, outside of Perth 2008 or Lord's 2014 what did he win us in his illustrious 14 year career

Compared to Prasidh Krishna, Ishant is Marshall and Ambrose rolled in one.

Ishant was very good in the latter part of his career - once he learnt how to pitch the full and get bounce... And that is in fact exactly what Krishna can benefit from learning

Prasidh has one of the most awkward bowling action. Ishan had a smooth run up.

Test match version of A Dinda.

 

Apart from his height literally has no upside.

 

Zero skills 

Zero talent 

Zero brains

Zero IQ

I would make him bend with his pants down in tohfa kabool karo position, then i would hire Roberto Carlos to run in from far off to give him a free kick on his back side, which will straightaway land him back to which ever third world corner he has been picked from.

 

Absolute waste of a position. I haven't seen such a hopeless selection in past decade or so.

Ishant was picked at 19. Prasidh is already 29. By the time he will become good, he will be 35.

Both Thakur and Krishna should be sent back with new replacements.

They should be niggled out.

[Gollum]

It shows 135-140 kph, but feels like 120 kph to the naked eye. And no swing, seam, bounce, variation, intelligence/setup......proper teletubby bowler. 

[lemsip]

I wonder which strategic genius is coming up with this masterplan of using Prasidh Krishna to operate a bumper strategy ? He has neither the pace, the accuracy or the discipline to be anything other than complete cannon fodder. If they have to carry him in this match, he can still be serviceable if he sticks to bowling wide outside the offstump and pick up wickets by boring them out.

[cowboysfan]

I am done with him,even Karnataka should kick him out too since he has never won them anything.

It is quite clear that Prasidh does not want to play for India. He is happy with 2 months of IPL. 

 

He is bowling 10 kph slower in England compared to the IPL, with less accuracy, less bounce and zip and way less enthusiasm. [ Compare this with Bumrah who is 2 or 3 kph quicker in tests in England compared to 4 over IPL ]. 

 

Prasidh has done this earlier too. Used to get "injured" during our domestic seasons  and "recover" miraculously before the IPL.

 

No point in picking such disinterested players. And this trend is being seen in lots of pacers these days. Khaleel gives similar vibes. Avesh too. And many others. 

 

Bumrah, Shami, Arshdeep and Harshit are the only current day pacers who give it their all while playing for India. It is better to pick them whenever fit.

His athleticism, pace and action won't improve with time.

We can only hope his bowling skills and consistency of line and length improve. 

[Gollum]

If @express bowling @Suhaan lose faith in an Indian fast bowler despite backing/supporting him earlier, better release him, no hope.

Can't exclude Siraj on giving 100% effort during the game though his fitness discipline is in doubt and hence struggles at times in matches.

There can be no remedy to disinterest while playing for India.

 

Sad part is that this part becomes fully clear only after someone plays a few games for India in his best suited format. 

 

Bad performance in the first couple of games could be due to nerves or teething problems. So a little bit of time should be given just after debut.

 

But no slack should be cut for lack of effort from the 3rd test onwards. He should be out even if he performs in the 4th innings.
