Surprised that Bishop didn't mention Harshit's pace. He is one of the few ones who talks about it.

Insecurity. 

 

 

Shastri is a fake aggressive guy. He used to bat very very very slowly and bowled slow darters without much spin. This despite being 6'4" and having lots of hitting power. 

 

It is very clear to me now that our 2016 to 2022 pace revolution was almost purely due to Kohli and Arun. Shastri had very little to do with it.

 

It is probably a generation thing too. Most of the older Indians have a defensive mindset. A younger Rohit, in his 30s, who does not come across as an aggressive person, still prefers quick, deck hitting pacers in tests and ODIs. He preferred an all quick attack ... Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Prasidh and Hardik in the 2023 WC. @maniac  :winky:.  And he is preferring Harshit over Arshdeep now. Kohli and Bumrah like quicks as captains too.

Bishop raving about Harshit... But jaantu Indian fans will call for his head.

on the other hand Indian fans look at speedgun readings only.

 

Bishop also bigs up Arshdeep and other so called 'trundlers'

 

Man has more knowledge on young Indian players than most Indian commentators

ex-wi pacers are supportive of all talent quicks.

Exceptional death bowling by Harshit

He did good, but won't call exceptional. Khushdil was swinging blindly and mindlessly.
Need Harshit to bowl bodyline bumpers and yorkers as well. Wickets matter in this format.

Bhogle talking about 140 k+ by Shaheen.

 

Won't do so for Indian quicks. 

Sometimes I feel these guys are too awed by the opposition and 90's Pakistan as if they're an alien.

 

Was watching a discussion on cricinfo where Manju was harping about Pakistan and Imran Khan...Kumble just pointed out saying I know you are obsessed with Imran. Manjrekar had no answer but to give a sheepish smile.

Manju tries to trash talk Indian players in a bid to appear neutral

Manju always looks severely underconfident.
Not sure how he survived as a player, must have been a negative impact on all his team mates mentality wise.
You have to believe you're the best, if you're representing your country.
