putrevus Posted May 11 Posted May 11 14 minutes ago, Lord said: Bumrah was young boy when Malinga was at his peak. Boult joined later but was always unreliable in death. Those days pitches were far better for bowlers too. But I never saw Pandya or Pollard bowling last overs with Malinga, Bumrah bowled out Or not using spinner at all. CSK always had mid attack still won. Even someone like Bollinger turned into a hero Yes Malinga was there, , Pollard was also there, You need allround team.Boult was dynamite with new ball. CSK had very good allround teams.

vvvslaxman Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) 2 hours ago, cricketfan28 said: Who is the best captain in ipl tactically ? Sharma? IT is not the captains make the calls for many teams. It is the think tank. Example Nehra for GT. But Shreyas Iyer makes the calls on his own. He doesn't depend on instructions from think tank. But this match up BS has gone way out of proportion. They are overthinking. THey are not using the best bowlers. Chahal was not used mainly because of this match up theory. That is just one thing. But T20 skills of punjab bowles are appalling. Arshdepe is good. But he apparently had world cup hang over. But others are poor. Execution skills are poor. Can't land yorkers consistently. Dharamsala pitch is a perfect pitch for Janswen where he can exploit the bounce and send the ball whiz past the year. He allowed out of fomr Axar patel walk down the wicket and whack him for six. T20 bowling skill is poor for Punjab team. Also they don't have a clue about what ball to bowl to which batsmen. Edited May 12 by vvvslaxman
crictime Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Yuzvendra Chahal not bowling even 1 ball against Delhi was totally a bamboozling decision. The bowling part in the scorecard was shocking. Anyone who knows Chahal is a specialist bowler and does not bowls him has choked in captaincy in that particular match. Truly a brainfade moment. PBKS only had 4 specialist bowlers in Arshdeep, Yash Thakur,Dwarshuis and Chahal as specialist bowlers and yet he blundered. Chahal was the only specialist spinner they had. New guy and Stan AF 2

What is Ponting doing then.Tactics also come from coach.When guy like Ponting tells you something you tend to do it as a captain. Edited May 12 by putrevus

Just said his bad captaincy contributed among other things. Even the games he won this year he consistently conceded 200+ In game its mostly captain not coach

Every captain makes mistakes, this guy has won IPL before and took another team to final.So he knows how to win matches.

The PBKs attack is way better than SRH attack having all newbies except Cummins. See how they are doing. Good attacks make the attack look better not worse There are no bowling plans Shreyas has.

No it is not and the two guys Hinge and Sakib have given them a new lease.PBK's leading bowler Arshdeep has economy of nearly 10. They have no wicket takers. Out of desperation they found them.They were playing Jaidev and useless Harshal and getting battered by everyone.They took off once they added those two.

Suhaan Posted May 14 Posted May 14 First of all he has never been a proper T20 batsman,yet to see him taking apart proper pacers across formats
zen Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Poor move to bowl Chahal to two set left handers when they are looking for a good over. Chahal had done his job and should have been used only if required. Chalal was not even bowled in the previous game iirc.
putrevus Posted May 14 Posted May 14 (edited) What was he supposed to do today, it is Iyer the batsman the bigger problem than Iyer the captain. Ponting needs to stop backing all useless Aussies, where ever he goes he brings his chelas like Stoinis and other useless Aussies with him. Edited May 14 by putrevus
cowboysfan Posted May 14 Posted May 14 why are you guys blaming Iyer. the PBJ bowlers on paper look very strong,all have played interntional cricket and some are top rated International bowlers right now.If your bowlers suck in every freaking game then its on them. putrevus 1
