Agreed on this. He can actually bat at 10 below Thakur and still be valuable with his captaincy and keeping. But should either open or should not bat at all.

Gavaskar, Styris react to MS Dhoni's 'dry ball will turn' prediction after Ravindra Jadeja dismisses Buttler

MS Dhoni-led CSK defeated RR by 45 runs in match 12 of IPL 14. During the match, Sunil Gavaskar, Scott Styris, etc. were in awe of MS Dhoni after his prediction came right during RR's run-chase.

Wish both teams could lose today.

Is it really hard to figure out Billings is a significant upgrade over Smith in T20s? Baffling from Ponting, DC's coach.

Smith in t20 4000 runs @30.5 and Sr of 126, billings 3500 @23 and a Sr of 133@

T20I billings 400 @18 sr 133, Smith 800 @28 Sr 128

IPL Billings 350 runs @17 Sr 133, Smith 2400 @35 Sr 128.

Care to elaborate on your point. Numbers say the opposite of your argument.

Both pretty mediocre looks like. Might even be Smith's spasmodic routine isn't as suited to T20 cricket as might initially appear. He puts bowlers off their lengths in conventional cricket but in T20s bowlers are likely to be a step ahead of him. Chances are he whacks himself out of shape with all those nervous tics.

Has Woakes been dropped or is he just being rested? (If it's the former it's the sort of decision that could turn me into a Sanju Samson fan.)

Rohit hits a boundary....

Cameraman: hey, look at his wife in the crowd.

This is cringe.

 

[Arachnodouche]

How does Pandya warrant a 5 Crore price in his BCCI contract if he's going to be wrapped in cotton wool? It's been what, 2+ years since his back troubles? You'd think his bowling would be back up to speed by now.

This interaction with Pant and the bowlers is pure comedic. He is giving directions to experienced guys like Amit Mishra on what to bowl This is street cricket stuff.

That was a braindead shot from Hardik

And he is usually wrong, which is the annoying part.

I'm 100% sure that this cameraman is the type of guy who googles cricketers' wives...because as soon as a "sTaR" player does something, the camera pans to the missus.

And he is usually wrong, which is the annoying part.

He is like one of those players in street cricket who can bat well than everyone else, so all his stupidity has to be tolerated.

Amit Mishra is India's most versatile leggie.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So Rabada is not gonna bowl out. Great.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Amit Mishra is India's most versatile leggie.

He is our best leg spinner atm. Chahal has gone from bad to worse.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Amit Mishra is India's most versatile leggie.

If only he'd bowled this pace when he played for India. For some reason our leggies since Kumble bowl like it's still the 70s.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Watching Jayant Yadav bowl takes me back to 2014

DC are gonna botch this chase

I wish Pant messes it up. Such a brilliant batsmen but his attitude needs some adjustment.
