Yeah that's probably true, but they're also not conditions you can rely on 20 overs of spin. Perhaps Rishi Dhawan in for a batsman might make some sense; Jadeja is probably a better fit than Pandey for the situation Pandey is likely to come in at anyway.
Pretty sure it is the bowler's fault when they chase 300 down so comfortably.
Yeah but maybe 5 overs of Dhawan and 5 overs of Jadeja, or some other breakdown like that depending on the conditions on the day and who's bowling well would be.
If Melbourne has bigger boundaries, then I'll definitely keep both Ashwin and Jadeja. I'll also not change the batting lineup - you can't assume everyday Rohit, Kohli and Rahane will play well. If we lose the 3rd wicket in 25th or 30th over, Pandey may need to play a bigger role.
Big boundaries doesn't necessarily help the spinners. The straight hits at the MCG are still very achievable and you can really milk the spinners into big gaps for 2s all day,
Problem is we've got **** all back up options. Bhuvi in for Jadeja maybe but then we lose even more finishing power.
Don't disagree. Just saying that Melbourne's big boundaries shouldn't really be a factor and you should be playing both spinners regardless because they're almost certainly both in your top 4-5 bowlers even in these conditions.
Might as well hang a 2009 calendar on the wall.
Definitely more than one bowler at fault itbt..
Can't expect bowlers to perform on these roads that Australia are producing recently..thoroughly boring to watch..
