G_B_ Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Amla' date='ABD,kallis and Smith are totally different compared elgar, duminy who have poor skills. They can smash our faster bowlers. Also we don't have fast bowlers who do containment job.Rohit may have gotten wickets of A side which is fairly inexperienced or poor at playing spin compared to players I mentioned.[/quote'] Ofcourse nobody is expecting Rohit to take lots of wickets v the people you mentioned. But IMO he can nick a wicket or two. Duminy from what i now is a decent player of spin.
Old guy Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I think we need to realistic as to what a spinner can do. Somebody like Ajmal averages 33 with the ball on the last tour of SA. Sir and Ashwin are not at the same level of Ajmal as they currently are. Swann averages 32 with the ball. Pick a guy who can keeps things tight in the overs after after the new ball gets old and force the batsman to make mistakes. Sir is the better pick for that. The only way a spinner will pick up wickets in SA if he chokes the batsman into making mistakes. Ashwin in Australia just could not make an impact and averaged 62 with the ball and most importantly kept being smashed out of the attack. Ajmal averaged 33 but bhajji did well in last tour and so did swann . In Australia all off spinners have bad record so it's no big deal Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
vijay50 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Most people forget Raina.Based on his batting and bowling performance against SA A team, Raina is a strong contender for the first test at number 6.Wait and watch.
