Just realized that Dinesh Karthik is actually slightly younger than Saha. And he just played a great FC knock as well. He should be the first choice backup keeper for a while if he is in good touch imo.

I think Dhoni pissed around with Bumrah too early on and for too long despite having plenty of middle over options. We've got no death bowling for the eventual hit out at the tail end of the innings, he should've prepared for the worst. Very much a hindsight criticism of course, but nonetheless one to think about in future games.
Wait you criticised him for bringing the part-timer on early after wickets
Now you want him to have done more of that

We selected 5 bowlers. I didn't mean the part timer.

ftr I'm very much in favour of the MSD tactic of squeezing out cheap overs in the middle from lesser bowlers when a couple of wickets fall, but at 48/5 I didn't think it was the right decision. Happily admit I was wrong on this occasion.

As Doull told you all so authoritatively in the first over, we'd do well to omit Tom Latham from our 50-over sides.

Devcich's bowling assists the balance more. You don't argue with the Northern Districts men about the balance. Now you've got Guptill's filthy bowling to look forward to, all series.

India has been searching for a serviceable seam bowling all rounder for a while now. To the Indian fans, how does Pandya go in FC cricket? More specifically with the ball.

Binny got a gig as recently as last year and he was only ever okay when the ball was new.

You gotta respect daemon for getting it wrong, admitting it but then criticising Dhoni again for something else. He calls it like it is and is willing to propose ideas, and if they're wrong so be it. Good stuff

Everything was so random except Latham's inning.

Hardik getting wickets with the new ball, Jadhav getting wickets, Southee scoring 55 after 65/7

It's funny you should say this because I think finding something to complain about even if it completely contradicts a falsified complaint you made ten minutes earlier is really the essence of the kiwaahing you rail against so hard.
