diga Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I atleast never wrote him off. But he shouldn't be in the team as a all rounder tbh. Maybe a bowler who can bat at 8. that means dropping Ashwin on seaming tracks..& dropping one of the 3 seamers on spin tracks
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Ashwin has done better than him bowling wise so far overseas, tbf.
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Nah, can't afford it. Having extra good batsman is more important than having extra good bowlers in ODI's. Dhoni won't bowl Yuvraj much when Jadeja plays anyway, as both are LAS. no,with our bowling,we need 6 bowling options.most teams have that too n they better bowling attacks
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Which team has 6/7 bowling options and sacrifices batting for it ?
King Tendulkar Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Nah, can't afford it. Having extra good batsman is more important than having extra good bowlers in ODI's. Dhoni won't bowl Yuvraj much when Jadeja plays anyway, as both are LAS. In match thread you are bemoaning Ishants bowling Now do you understand why need jadeja and balance of team. As need more then 5 bowling options. Now captain does have to bowl Ishants quote and give some of them to yuvi. But if only 5 bowlers with Yuvi as 5th , all your eggs in one basket and Ishant has to bowl all 10.
King Tendulkar Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Which team has 6/7 bowling options and sacrifices batting for it ? England just bowled 6 bowlers. Samit Patel is there version of jadeja
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Which team has 6/7 bowling options and sacrifices batting for it ? England have Samit at 7,Root,KP can bowl too Pak have Hafeez,Malik who can bowl SA have Duminy,Kallis,Faf who can bowl SL have Mendis,Dlishan n Mathews in addition to main bowlers
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 England just bowled 6 bowlers. Samit Patel is there version of jadeja UV is better in ODI's than Patel. And their 6th bowler was Root. Raina and Kohli in seaming conditions can easily equal him. Plus they have Dernbach playing regularly who is **** and still are winning ODI regularly.
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 England have Samit at 7,Root,KP can bowl too Pak have Hafeez,Malik who can bowl SA have Duminy,Kallis,Faf who can bowl SL have Mendis,Dlishan n Mathews in addition to main bowlers If you are gonna include Samit, Root, Mendis, Duminy and KP type bowlers then what crime have Raina and Kohli done ? Then if Tiwary comes into the team can bowl leggies too. Sehwag if he ever makes a comeback.
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 If you are gonna include Samit, Root, Mendis, Duminy and KP type bowlers then what crime have Raina and Kohli done ? Then if Tiwary comes into the team can bowl leggies too. Sehwag if he ever makes a comeback. except KP,all these consistently bowl n do decently.we dont such an option
King Tendulkar Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Raina and Kohli are not good bowlers. Very Very part time. Samit and co are much better, they are jadeja standard
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 except KP' date='all these consistently bowl n do decently.we dont such an option[/quote']
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Also, none of those teams has sacrificed batting to get in a slight bowling improvement except maybe England with Samit who is a Yuvi level of bowler anyway. Probably worse even.
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Samit is much better ? :giggle: And even if he is the others mentioned are of Raina standard. (except Hafeez, Kallis and Mathews who are 5th bowlers anyway.) Raina can keep it tight pretty well. Did it last match too and has a good RPO of 5 despite bowling in about 60 matches. Then there is Kohli in seaming conditions too. Also others. 6 options is usually enough in ODI's anyway and we have more. Samit does decently against non SC teams Kallis,Mathews rarely bowl full quota,Mendis,Dilshan,Duminy are needed. and you are forgetting our is a pathetic attack.one bowler gets thrashed regularly. Raina is okay,but wont bowl 10 overs ever.Kohli is pathetic
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Also' date=' none of those teams has sacrificed batting to get in a slight bowling improvement except maybe England with Samit who is a Yuvi level of bowler anyway. Probably worse even.[/quote'] they play 7 specialist bats?
Sidhoni Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 He might get the MOTM today if he also picks one or two wickets.
Cevno Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 they play 7 specialist bats? Batting all rounders or Batsman who can ball. Not Bowling all rounders when they had better batting options on top of 5 bowling options + 2 part timers already.
