Lord Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 6 minutes ago, express bowling said: Prasidh's steep bounce at pace adds a different dimension to the Indian bowling. It would be a big mistake if we leave out Prasidh from the Asia Cup and WC sides. We need this extra bounce. Infact we need more such pacers once the WC is over. Mayank Y, Harshit, Sen, Tyagi, Hangargekar. Prasidh is needed more in SA tour later this year. Need to save him for that as he tends to get injured easily.

Shardul / Axar 9. Bumrah 10. Kuldeep / Prasidh 11. Siraj / Prasidh My only slight concern is death bowling. If we play Prasidh, Bumrah and rest Siraj...death bowling may go for a toss as Prasidh isn't known for his death bowling skills..neither does Pandya and Shardul. On grounds like Dharamshala..I would be tempted to go for all 3 quicks but that means I will have to drop Kuldeep to have batting till 8. It's going to be a jigsaw puzzle...our lack of batting ability at the tail can hurt us big. express bowling 1
Vk1 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 What sort of pitches are these.. Dube goes for 4 when Ireland should have probably targeted him.

Need to save him for that as he tends to get injured easily. During the 2014 to 2016 period, the same was said about Shami. Let's rest him most of the time and use him in big matches. But I have always advocated playing regularly for better match fitness. Shami has become fitter once he has started playing lots of matches. Wrapping bowlers in cotton wool is a recipe for disaster. tapandrun and Mosher 2

We just cant afford anymore It seems like it's a 3 place fight amongst Bumrah, Siraj, Prasidh and Kuldeep for no 9-11. While for 7-8 we will have fight between Axar, Jaddu and Shardul. Vk1 1

Yup, but I think that's how it's going to be. Jaddu will bat at 7, Shardul at 8. Axar will rotate based on pitch and conditions and who is rested. 6 is going to be Pandya's (unless he injures himself)..and then 5 batters. express bowling 1

express bowling Posted August 20, 2023 Author Posted August 20, 2023 Prasidh bowling just slower balls at the death. Needs to mix it up with quick yorkers. Mosher 1
