Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Times like this makes you realize the importance of Bhuvi I guess. Yes, he has no pace, but at least he Can swing it both ways and bowl good line and length and be economical. Rubbish bowling from our bowlers so far.
maniac Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Yep on Indian Pitches(Dry and Spinning),Green Tracks and Flat Pattas...Bhuvi is a must....SO only on Bouncy and Quick pitches(which are too far in between) there is a case for not having him but having said that his lower order batting might cover up for it...so yes missing Bhuvi
kosingh Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Bhuvi is just average on tracks like this. But average is better than poor. So yes we miss him.
sweetaskandy Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 You guys change your minds each hour. You hype a guy - he does badly, then you say "oh should have played x or y". :hysterical:
tweaker Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 You guys change your minds each hour. You hype a guy - he does badly, then you say "oh should have played x or y". :hysterical: typical Indian Fans
FischerTal Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Relax. Even South Africa and England went for runs on this pitch
BlueBee Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 ^ +1 Still bad bowling. If we had bowled better line and length this could have been better
FischerTal Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 ^ +1 Still bad bowling. If we had bowled better line and length this could have been better The South Africans with their immaculate line and length still gave up 550 runs on this pitch.
BlueBee Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 TBH I'm missing Umesh more than Bhuvi. He looked in good control in recent SL series
bharat297 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I love how the justification for us bowling like crap is that a team better than us bowled worse! Great stuff!
Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 You guys change your minds each hour. You hype a guy - he does badly, then you say "oh should have played x or y". :hysterical: He was our no.1 bowler in England. Aussies always struggle against swing rather than pace or bounce. Kulasekara did pretty well in Australia.
Crookbond Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 You guys change your minds each hour. You hype a guy - he does badly, then you say "oh should have played x or y". :hysterical: One of those "sweet" moments when I agree with you. The player who doesn't play becomes a world changing player.
express bowling Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 If Bhuvi goes without many wickets for even 1 test match then people will ask for Vinay Kumar, x, y, or z. :cantstop:
Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 One of those "sweet" moments when I agree with you. The player who doesn't play becomes a world changing player. So, no counter argument to Aussies struggle against swing rather than pace and bounce? Wasn't kulasekera their no.1 bowler for Lankans in Australia Last time they toured?
rkt.india Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 He would certainly have done better than Shami and Aaron in terms of ER, but doubt score would have been any better. Remember he played those England tests too where they had scored big. Him being there did not make much of a difference.

express bowling Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I strongly get this feeling that the young Indian cricketers don't really have that passion for test matches.... most probably because of far easier and more lucrative forms of cricket opening up. Perhaps even the players are not fully aware of this consciously. But the tough preparation required, both physical and mental, for difficult away tours is not taken. Test matches, especially if they are played in away conditions, can be very tough. Anything short of a tremendous will to succeed will not bring success. For the last few years .... this is missing. No matter which player we pick .... unless this mindset changes ..... there won't be much change. We still have a better chance in short series where the timespan of such mental application is short.

We never had great fast bowlers. Our bowlers were always like that. I dont agree that they do not the passion to play.
Lord Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 The South Africans with their immaculate line and length still gave up 550 runs on this pitch. Tahir gave 180 of those:giggle:
Cricket_Hacker Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 bhuvi would have made no difference.Would have been cannon fodder
