Why malnourished Axar Patel above Hardik Pandya in batting order?

[fineleg]

MSD lahori logic? or fond of Axar Patel?

[WC2011INDIA]

Bumrah is a total munaf patel with the bat.

hmm you dont know what happens behind the scenes. If Pandya was asked and he said he wants to bat deep in the batting order as a young player MSD and Kumble have to ensure that he is comfortable.

 You are never satisfied do you. 

 

Hardik is the fav player of MSD now that Ashwin/Jadeja are not in the team.

I haven't seen MS back any fast bowler like he does for hardik. 

Last match i was shocked to see the field MS had for him.

^ We are talking abt MSD's support for his batting, not about his support for bowling.

Axar isn't bad and he was doing pretty well before he mistimed that shot.

Left right combo maybe

2 left arm spinners that's why he was sent on top.. Stop complaining about everything 

Didn't work so people have right to complain. If it had worked you would have been the first one to say, amazing captaincy move

What are you talking about...so far at international level never showed anything with the bat and even today looked pretty ordinary

Dhoni has always had a thing for young malnourished left-handers. Promoted Jadeja in 2009 T20 WC but got knocked out v Eng.

 

Axar Patel is continuing the losing tradition of Dhoni fetishes.

Dhoni loves malnourished left handers. Maybe it's how they grip the ball in their left hands which Dhoni,likes...

I don't think he looked ordinary today, played according to the situation. Took an odd risk. He is still very young. I have seen his potential in domestic cricket and also on Aus A tour with the bat. He might look malnourished but generates some amazing power in his shots. He is going to be better than Jadeja with the bat.

and i will be the second one to praise msd if we might  have won

 

but people like you do yagas for our loss, and then you guys can come and take a dig at our captain

What OP wants to hear is, Dhoni sux etc etc. 

 

So what if Axar has shown batting ability in his career, and has the ability to hit the big shot.  So what a left-handed batsman would have better odds with 2 left-arm spinners playing.  Bottomline is Dhoni sux.  Happy?

With the two left arm spinners, it made sense. Probably was looking for some quick runs as Axar is capable of slogging the spinners and Pandya to be kept for the end overs. I don't see that the other way round may have impacted the result much.
