Yes, Pandya has opened the bowling for India in ODIs.  This is first class cricket and I would see Pandya as a 3rd/4th seamer.  Plus this was a practice match and would have preferred someone like Mhd Siraj or some of the other upcoming pacers opening the bowling.

why would you see Pandya as 3rd/4th option? He has all the attributes of becoming a good fast bowler. He is for sure atm is better than Siraj who is too raw. I am looking that selectors giving Pandya all the experience and bowling so that he could become our 2nd or 3rd seam bowling option, which we will need overseas. This is how you develop players.

350 comes up for Aussies. They will probably declare after this session

Australia's batsmen take advantage of India A's surprise decision to bowl first on sweltering day in Mumbai

Smith got two lives. Iyer looked okay with his leg spin, should start bowling more. Delivery to get Handscomb was good.

Australia 389/3

Pandya has bowled 22 overs against Australia. He will learn a lot by bowling to these batsman who have hammered good bowlers of international teams

Fifty for M Marsh. I am starting to believe that he will play in the first match

Aussies are 436/4 during lunch break. Glen Maxwell has come to bat after Wade was dismissed by Herwadkar. Interesting

[Cricketics]

Pant had taken gloves from Ishan Kishan, I guess to give him rest.

 

Good move that.

Eye test. Hahaha. so, you want him to bat at 7 showing all the right technique? Would Kapil Dev have passed that eye test if that is the case?

are you kidding? ,this guy is touted as the next big all rounder for us and i dont see it all .he is not even 1/100 of the player Kapil was.I will happily be proved wrong and the proof will be to see how long he plays international cricket.

I doubt Kapil Dev as a batsman would have passed your eye test?

WTF Pandya allowing Aus to bat first and get batting practice! :WTF: lol

[Pollack]

It was common sense to bat first in this match.Australia has good confidence boosting practise here now. No wonder Smith was surprised when Hardik decided to bowl first as posted by some poster here.

Dinda proved to be the most ineffective pacer in the game.
