Great effort from Shreyas to make that look difficult.
I'd assume it's to minimise the number of bubbles they have to set up. Paarl is within driving distance of Cape Town so they can remain based there, although that doesn't explain why they're not playing at Newlands.Why didn't they use the same venues of the Test series? This looks like secondary venue. Small boundary slowish pitch. Host games at Durban Wanderers instead.
Yeah Newlands has got Final ODI. Two ODIs in Paarl seem a bit too much.I'd assume it's to minimise the number of bubbles they have to set up. Paarl is within driving distance of Cape Town so they can remain based there, although that doesn't explain why they're not playing at Newlands.
Both the Iyers are good fielders.but yeah apart from them and Kohli, not much.Worst fielding side in the world by some margin. Ashwin Chahal Dhawan Bhuvi & even youngsters don't look athletic.
Shreyas Iyer has always been a poor catcher. Have seen him drop plenty in IPl. Venky has a small sample size but saw him misfield one earlier at point costed 4 runs. Our 2011 WC side had many oldies but they were not this bad.Both the Iyers are good fielders.but yeah apart from them and Kohli, not much.
Look at who is our current chairman of selectors in case you are too happy in life and want to feel a little low.Chahal is such a harmless leggie. No googly, no flipper. Duly outbowled by Bishnoi in VHT but still not backed.
Indian LOI squad could be gun if only we pick right players.
Look at the last over.. Bavuma is barely picking anything from the hand & even Pant behind the stump is saying that. Rubbish bowler Chahal. Just mediocre.Can't agree more. Also, look at who is our current chairman of selectors in case you are too happy in life and want to feel a little low.
The funny thing is, Kuldeep is the one who deserved a longer rope and more confidence from the management. Chahal is getting all the support in the world despite looking toothless.Look at the last over.. Bavuma is barely picking anything from the hand & even Pant behind the stump is saying that. Rubbish bowler Chahal. Just mediocre.
except for his last over going for only one.Rubbish bowling by Chahal but not unexpected.
