And yet they let Brendon Julian into the box.
India failing to defend twice is less of a bowling failure. Sub-250 scores are always gettable. They lost the two tests because of their batting primarily.
Not Smith it was Fanie DeVillers... as one of the Afrikaans commentators. And it went from there.
Pandya played what one series? Which we heavily lost.
The selection of Jansen gives me hope. I just don't see how Sipamla and Coetzee get in now for the next few years!?
Yeah I personally hate the stump mics being turned up so high and always have, it feels so awkward and like we're an intruder into a space that we're fundamentally not supposed to be a part of.
He played in England too and was the key to us winning our only test there. Yes, his stubbornness is always an issue but overall his impact of both the fast bowling push and the 5 bowler strategy have been wins IMO.
Why do you want to deprive yourself of content?
we don't need them turned up high for content! kohli made sure of that
It has been an overall detriment in bowler friendly conditions. We have enough fast bowling depth to rotate the quicks between games and play with an extra batsman. The idea Kohli is pushing that this combination is somehow the catalyst for our wins overseas is not something I'm convinced by.
It's the "experience". Bring the cricket into your living room, it's like you're really there!
I think it should be turned up for the match officials and ref coz we know how bad things are on field and can be, with an increased awareness of mental health etc around the world and stuff. But I am honestly ok with the stump mic being up.
There'll be injuries, so they might get the odd opportunity here or there. But they're the ones who need to be part of the larger squad and not Olivier, Magala, or Hendricks.
should be a cracker of a series next month in NZ.
We lacked the nuggetiness
And that was before Smith became director of cricket, so he would have only been a commentator as well, if he even was one for that series (probably, but I can't remember).
KFC need to open more branches in India.
It depends on how you view it but to me the 5 bowlers is fine. The personnel is probably the key. You have to remember literally none of our batters can bowl even part time. It can be an issue. You seem to think we will be able to bowl at full intensity with 4 bowlers like we have done with 5 and I dont think that is anywhere close to true.
Which kinda proves my point.
