Ultimate_Game Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Barring an odd occasion our tail barely does anything of note. They can't spend time at the crease like Jimmy Anderson and neither can score something of note like other nations. It's as if we are still stuck in 80s. Worst part is that these guys are not even good at bowling or fielding. Now I understand why Jaddu or Ashwin are preferred - coz they can either field or bat better.
Ultimate_Game Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Our team is shyte Would hurt if India loses this Test with just a few mins left for the end of 5th day. If the tail had spent some time and tired the Aussie bowlers this could have been an easy draw.
Texan Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Without Ashwin/Jadeja and Bhuvanaeshwar, tail starts at 7.
fineleg Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Unfortunate that while Ash/Jadj are shyte bowlers and Bhuvi is accurate but trundler - we are forced to pick them for 'batting' :((
Ultimate_Game Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Without Ashwin/Jadeja and Bhuvanaeshwar' date=' tail starts at 7.[/quote'] In this day and age it's unacceptable. At least spend some time at the crease and tire out the bowlers. This innings was right out of 80s - 400/5 to 444 with a few runs due to slogging.
