Is Ravindra Jadeja Really Back To Form Or Rank Turners Are Fooling Us?


Recommended Posts

Till today, I was thinking Jaddu may be back in form (even if he isn't the old Jaddu...atleast better than the Jadddu who was dropped).

But now I have my doubts.

After coming back from the Bangladesh ODI tour, Jaddu played in the India A vs Bangladesh A in Bangalore and then 3 tests in Rajkot (which produced rank turners this time where he got 6 5fers consecutively).

Let's leave Rajkot for now.

See the India A vs Bangladesh A scorecard - http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/918033.html

First innings: Bangladesh A bundled out for 228.

Aaron - 4 wickets
Jayant Yadav (offie) - 4 wickets
Jaddu - 0 wickets (bowling a bit more overs)

Third innings: Bangladesh A bundled out for 151.

Pandey - 3
Mithun - 2
Jayant Yadav (offie) - 2

Jaddu - 1 (tailender)

After this he played on rank turners, got the wickets, got selected and now in squad. I just hope he actually improved which allowed him to get the wickets cos the only test where he played outside of Rajkot, the results haven't been good at all.

He bowls well ONLY when its a turner. Always been that way.

Unless the Test pitch is a spin-pitch, no point selecting him in 11

World of difference between turner and a rank turner.

Mohali, Nagpur won't be rank turners guaranteed. There is a chance they could be very high scoring grounds. :facepalm:

Delhi would be rank turner.

Bangalore - I dunno.

Pitches in India will always turn.

hows Mohali...

I had heard its a pacers delight .. IS it?

 

 

Mohali is gonna b a flat flat flat deck

but the match btw punjab n gujrat 

Bumrah xtracted smething out of it n did trouble yuvraj a bit

also they knw how to maintain the ball for reverse

he has only wkts against poor ranji sides n also on dustbowls 

but hving so many wkts does give u confidence

n his line n length have always been gud.

wat works in india for him is he gets turn n wkt do stay up n down which makes him potent

also add his fielding n batting. 

Gud thing was he scored runs on those dusbowls were pujara even struggled

n we cnt cribb much as he is not blocking some gud spinners place , there arent many in domestic 

 

He is more than a decent bowler , n quite dangerous in Indian conditions

The guy is an asset in many ways n is better than most of our spinners

Why would you drop him when he was one of the best bowler in the last home Test series he played? Should be in the XI.

well he got 6 wkts in durban against Sa in 1st innings

i doubt how many spinner have done that

HE is not that bad a bowler as we think of him .

That was a turner then just like Cape Town was a turner when Pak visited.

In SA, you get that 1 turner a series.

In form Jaddu is a very good bowler but that particular Durban pitch aided spin.

He knows how to bowl on spinning tracks and that alone should be enough for him to find a place in Indian 11.
