Ultimate_Game Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 How come he bowled 3.4 overs and Rohit had to bowl the last 2 deliveries of his spell? Was he injured?
J P K Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Could well become the specialist spinner ahead of Ashwin by the middle of the CB series. very impressive today and deserves more chances regularly. not happening who will attend press conference then :giggle:
Number Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 How come he bowled 3.4 overs and Rohit had to bowl the last 2 deliveries of his spell? Was he injured? He got hit on his bowling hand after 0.4 overs so Rohit completed that over. After that he came back and bowled 3 overs.
CG Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 How come he bowled 3.4 overs and Rohit had to bowl the last 2 deliveries of his spell? Was he injured? Yes, Got hit in the hand and had a cut in his webbing, while attempting a caught and bowled from wade.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 ^^^ Ok thanks. Didn't watch the game as it was starting at 3 AM and am glad I missed it
rkt.india Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Could well become the specialist spinner ahead of Ashwin by the middle of the CB series. very impressive today and deserves more chances regularly. Problem with Ashwin was he was bowling like he does in SC where he can get turn by flighting the ball and bowling slow. This is not going to happen here untill you can turn the ball both ways like Hogg or Ajmal and batsmen find you tough to read, look at Aussies Hussey and Doherty. They mixes their pace and bowl quicker through the air. Varying you pace and is the most important thing to success here for a finger spinner, cannot delivery flighted dollies which do not turn on these pitches. Ashwin needs to adjust to the conditions. He did the same mistake in test series as well. He needs to try to beat the batsmen through pace and length variations, cannot be predictable.
saneindian Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Ashwin's problem is the extra kilos he has put on the tour.
rkt.india Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Ashwin's problem is the extra kilos he has put on the tour. but he always had those extra kilos.
Cricket Tragic Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 And he can't field or run. You'd think he is 40 years old.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Sad day for us that Aussie spinners are outbowling our spinners (barring Rahul Sharma)
NeutralCat Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 He did bowl better than any of our other spinners.
Number Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Quite a few lucky boundaries off his deliveries but looked very good today.
saneindian Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Said it the other day, could be playing ahead of Ashwin in the ODIs.
asterix Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Good prospect. Bowled better than that fulltoss chucking overhyped Ashwin.
Old guy Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 its hard to hit him..he still has lot to learn for him getting wickets in tests is problem for odis he is perfect
Ultimate_Game Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Pretty soon he will be our best odi/T20 spinner. Indian team for T20 should be good on spinning tracks with Ashwin, Jadeja and Rahul Sharma in there. Wish Yuvi was fit as well as his all-round abilities would have made us pretty strong contenders.
daryl1985 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 We could win the next T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka. We have 3 good spinners + Yuvi and should have a batting line-up that will excel in S/C conditions.

We don't have Yuvi which IMO would be the biggest loss as he's an amazing power hitter and a decent spinner in sub-continent. Yuvi is out of cricket for 6 months at least, and then will need some time to regain match fitness and form :sniffle:

The main thing is that he will hardly get batsmen room to play shots or will be quick enough through the air to allow batsmen to use their feet effectively.
