I don't think Jadeja is fit enough to play as a bowler... in the 1st Test. However, he could be played as a batting all rounder!
Why do you think so? We will have a better idea of his fitness when he plays the next ranji Match on 30th..will be interesting to see how many overs he bowls...I don't think Jadeja is fit enough to play as a bowler... in the 1st Test. However, he could be played as a batting all rounder!
Yeah I think Pant also being out will make them hesitant to have such a long tail.Actually they may want the batting insurance and go with Washy over Kuldeep if Jaddu is not fit, I think.
Siraj won't play especially Shami and Umesh are thereYeah pure panic stations if Jaddu is not fit IMO.
Then we got,
Rohit
Rahul
Pujara
Virat
SKY
Bharat (wk)
Axar
Ashwin
Kuldeep
Shami
Siraj
Absolutely no runs from that lower order and need not just Virat but entire top order to stand up and give us the runs.
Even Iyer don't know so most likely he is out of first two testIs Iyer out for certain?
For how long?
Excellent slam!You look weak without Pant
Sundar should not be near our test team. He is not even able to take wickets for Tamilnadu in Ranji.Actually they may want the batting insurance and go with Washy over Kuldeep if Jaddu is not fit, I think.
He's not a jet with the ball but he consistently averages around 30, knows how to bowl to a plan and is a seriously talented batsman. If he's picked as an allrounder and expected to make runs or be dropped I think it's fine.Sundar should not be near our test team. He is not even able to take wickets for Tamilnadu in Ranji.
In the 4 innings he played this Ranji trophy, he averaged 20 with bat and took just 6 wickets in total. Overall career bat average as well is only 33 with bowling average of 30 in first class. That is not enough to get a place in the Indian team as an all-rounder. There are so many people in first class with better numbers right now who deserve a chance before him.Yeah he is fine for a 5th bowler.
Dude, you are missing context. He was off and on in Ranji because of international games in between. He was chasing impossible 4th innings scores twice I think and was dismissed cheaply there. And his bowling was actually what got us back into the game once.,
