express bowling Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Pitching looking slower in the 2nd session. Some variable bounce too. Mosher 1 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Indian batsmen are making the bowling look so tough. They have only themselves to blame if they choose an opener who's not performing. A run rate of 2 is funny, given that the bowling isnt looking so deadly. Mosher 1 Link to comment

This shows complete lack of mental aggression. Starc has bowled quoted a few floaty deliveries in the 2nd session but they have not been put away.

Just makes you wonder what the team management, what the coach has been doing all this while. This accumulation of run is no strategy. You dont need a coach to tell you how to do this. Indian cricket to me seems to be going back to the 90's. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Now, they only need to pray Umesh Yadav bowls well. Or this should be the nail in the coffin for Shastri and Kohli duo. Link to comment

This is something which we have lacked traditionally and have been overly kind to their rookies but its reverse other way around Our debutants or rookies are shattered with the onslaught and are made to look mediocre,look how people look down to Saini and others Why don't we do same to their rookies? express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Virat kohli used to be a good test match captain till 18/19. Not anymore. His theatrics dont work anymore. His team selection is bizarre and clearly shows personal biases. He is not mentally stable to lead. Suhaan 1 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Green looks very nervous. One good thing he is doing is he is pitching the ball up, not scared to do it. Not much happening otherwise though. Can easily be tamed. He reminds me vaguely of Bruce Reid. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Indian cricket to me seems to be going back to the 90's. This team has lacked strategy and planning for a long time. Look at how we have packed the batting line-up with consolidators against pace bowling. Only Kohli and Shaw can play fast when they want. This is why we needed Pant to up the ante during easier batting periods in the game. Rahane, Vihari, Saha and Ashwin won't attack the bowlers either, with any consistency.

Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Love the lengths Lyon is hitting. Great consistency. Our spinners just keep on trying too many variations. express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment

Not having Pant is a disaster. For me, Gill's omission is also a big mistake. Mosher, Indwin, Suhaan and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Saha's batting approach is too meek. He maybe ok if we are 80 for 5 or something. He grinds and hangs on. But in Australia, he will most probably come in at 200+. We badly needed Pant to score a quickfire 50 or 100 and put pressure back on Australia. If Gill in not included when Kohli leaves, we will know that there is something personal going on. sandsaims, Rightarmfast, Mosher and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Indian team is just going through the motions. Such poor planning. I have not found any bowler bowling particularly threatening. Very laid back attitude towards the test match. Link to comment
