Another 5-fer for Awana. Suyal is injured it seems.

[Old guy]

awana is better bet then dinda but imo not a wicket taking option can he reverse old ball ? Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD

can he reverse old ball ?

Don't really know but it's not a very high arm action so I think he can. Low arm actions are good for reverse swing.

Mumbai Ranji Squad is pitiful, Sandhu bowls at 115 to 120 k lol, Waigankar is very mediocre, why are more talented players not picked up on merit , sides like Punjab, and other less stronger teams in the past have their priorities right and teams for Mumbai, and Gujarat are pathetic, where is the rookie fast bowler Amir, Rahil bowled very well this season leading upto Ranji why isn't he in the team.

yes' date='numbers can be so decieving[/quote'] Our first class cricket is deceiving, rarely give a right idea about a player.

Our first class cricket is deceiving' date=' rarely give a right idea about a player.[/quote'] Ashwin to me is a more proper test batsmen then Yuvi, seeing his batting average you wouldn't say he is better then Badrinath who is useless, stats are deceiving, for bowlers it is turn, pace as primary factors, for batters temperament and time and ease to play fast and spin bowling, clearly some have it some don't. There might be quite a few Ashwin's out there batters who might be averaging around 35 but have the game to be successful test batters , more then our domestic flat track bullies same for fast bowlers and spinners, any team doing well pick up players based on their potential and groom them.

Hence plz do not expect any 'genuine' talent to emerge from these centres any more. It's impossible to believe that these 2 teams can't field international class ranji sides like a new south wales but it is highly unlikely due to the politics

He trundles but gets a bit of movement. Agarkar, Kulkarni, Salvi is a decent attack. In terms of spinners, Ankeet Chavan may shape up as a decent bowler after this season. Got a fiver against Bengal, and had two-three catches dropped. Had catches dropped off him today as well. Mumbai is one of the worst fielding sides in Ranji and their fielders hardly ever care to chase a ball that's running towards the boundary.

yes' date='n to make matters worse,selectors often just rely on numbers[/quote'] National selectors do not JUST rely on numbers. Numbers help pushing through a case because they are finally accountable to a few people. If you are selecting a national team, you'll have to show some numbers eventually to state why you want someone in the team.

No evidence to say that Awana is a better bet than Dinda. The guy on the bench always looks like a better prospect hypothetically. Both Awana and Dinda played against England in the tour game, and Dinda got Cook and Compton and Awana got none. Awana was underbowled though, and did bowl a decent last spell.

Dinda is a kangaroo and Awana maybe a roadrunner. So?

i have never seen dinda itch kt up and swing the bowl he does swing kt when conditions are good but always bit short ..imo international batsmen will play him easily on the other hand i have seen awana swing ball both ways..i just feel he has better chance to get people out.

They can both take 5-fers and demolish Ranji sides on their day. That's it. Neither will be exceptional against an international team probably. On Indian pitches, all of them will more or less produce the same result.

thts wht im saying they might perform similarly at ranji but i feel awana has more class to succeed at higher level...thts just my opinion..im probably wrong lol:cantstop:
