***Official*** India's Tour of Australia 2020/21 - General discussion

[Burgey]

Thanks babe

How about Devdutt Paddikkal ? I know most of his performances have been in white ball cricket but Dravid thinks he has the chops for the longer format as well.

What I like about Devdutt is he is clinical in putting away bad balls without risk. Improving his strike rotation is the next step for him.

Only doubt is if he has the concentration to play long innings. 10 FC 50's without a century so far.

The second para is the danger signal. We will see more of his ilk.

Yeah after 13 years, ****ing IPL has taken the toll.

I just hope some of the best players can pick themselves up after such a draining tour and be ready for the England series. A daunting task though.

Playing at home and having Virat back makes a huge difference IMO.

Never thought we will see the day. Also tells you our fielding sucks.

That Rahane drop really hurt. He's been so good in that region otherwise but dropped a sitter at the worst time possible. To have had Smith and Labia back in the hut under 100

Nothing.

 

[Burgey]

That’s not especially helpful

 

[trundler]

It's probably a prediction of what they were likely to average but.. that's not how sport works so it's pointless

 

[Starfighter]

That’s not especially helpful

It's a model that claims to show what the bowlers would be expected to average, presumably through the probability of taking wickets with the deliveries bowled (not that CricViz would actually tell you how their models work).

Considering Cummins, who averages 21 in the real world, is conspicuously absent, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

And no, I don't think it's a 'if catches had been taken model'.

 

[silentstriker]

So any news on Saini?

How dare you throw doubt upon CricViz's modelling by referring to reality.

I wondered what it meant, because I thought Bumrah’s average was lower than what was posted anyway?

Pravda getting its facts wrong?

Tallish, RFM. Apparently no good according to everyone on here but seemed to bowl ok imo. Worth a look.

RFM? A slight stretch.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Bowls at 140. For tailenders can push it to 145.

 

[silentstriker]

Didn’t see any 140. Saw him mostly at 135. Will have to pay close attention.
