Why is Washington Sundar an automatic selection in all 3 formats?

Disagree with this in tests, especially batting. He has played multiple match-saving/match-winning/face-saving knocks when the rest of the line-up was stinking up the joint.

 

 

He has also shown glimpses of good test bowling when the rest of the team folded meekly against NZ.

 

But in LOIs, he has no place. 

 

Formate illiteracy is running rampant under GG. Prasidh in T20, Sai sudarshan in Tests not ODIs.  Tilak varma in ODIs.

yes, agree about his test knocks. However I feel the other current spin allrounders might also contribute like him with bat ( kumble/bhajji partially ashwin n jadeja majorly did this ). He definitely doesn't deserve a place in odis n t20s

If they have left him just for tests he would not have recieved this much hate. Fact that he is part of the GT set up obviously raises doubt about credibility of this team management. They definitely favor guys like them not guys like Jaiswal.

Thing is all these setbacks will also ruin his test game, and finish his career. I thought he bowled well in England but excess white ball has made him a darter even in that format. What exactly is GG's plan?

Perhaps the biggest point in SENA which we keep missing year after year is never to go with two spinners. We did that blunder in 2019 semis in overcast conditions. We keep doing that mindlessly

Gambhir will bring back Jadeja saying there are no options.

 

He will back Sundar,who will block the place of Suthar, Harsh etc

Freaking Sundar is worse than out of date Jadeja. It is sad that he is just an automatic selection to do nothing. After long wait Jadeja is finally gone and we get this.

 

Contribution today-

 

1 over 19 runs given.

 

Time to bat 9 runs in 12 balls.

 

When Axar plays why we need this sorry faced good for nothing player in Ireland. 

 

When he is not even expected to bowl, why does he play and waste a batting spot. Literally anyone will be better. Bring a batter or bowler.

 

Scared chickens as management bat him at no.8 and lose to Ireland.:wall:

Please no.. we do not need these test players.

 

Dont support Parag that much but he can bowl a few, and play some solid innings from time to time.

Who the F cares! 
 

He doesn’t deserve to be in the test team either. Tanush Kotian is a much better player to invest in.

 

Just compare both their FC stats on cricinfo!

If selectors knew how to do so they wouldn't have pushed Tilak in ODIs over Padikkal, Rinku or Sai when Tilak averages 40 in List A while Padikkal averages 81! And Sai and Rinku average 60 & 55 in that format!

 

When they can't see a difference between a batting average of 40 and 81 across similar no. of matches, it shows where the selectors stand

This guy shouldn't be playing in any format.

 

Can't take wickets in Tests like a frontline spinner should.

 

Can't bat quickly in LOI's as a decent lower order bat should.
