No, you dont. The only weapon here is reverse and conventional swing and he kinda struggles with both coz of his pace. He can definitely play a role overseas or against other sides. But given how light our batting is and how the pitches are, Washy is a faaaaar better pick than Mukesh.
I mean he got swing just fine in SA and WI? Just not been bowling well here which happens. You need the pacer for more variety in options to have better control because the spinners aren't giving enough control. Big problem last Test was letting the spinners get milked easily. Washi wouldn't change that.No, you dont. The only weapon here is reverse and conventional swing and he kinda struggles with both coz of his pace.

And go easy on the aggro.
Anyways, Rehan and his merry crew of 8-11 to smack their 50s here.
The big problem last test was the wicket was ****ing slow. And Washy still gets more bounce as he bowls with more overspin. It was not for nothing the Indian side asked him to stay back for the BG series as a net bowler to try and simulate how Lyon bowls. And this pitch is nothing like the last one and the second seamer is absolutely useless unless he has pace and can get reverse.
he is the only one who can handle bumrah. shouldn't have thrown his wicket away like that
Just depends what method we want. Some crazy lats order runs here and bowl India out cheaply or an impossible chase of 450 batting last that they coast to 4 wickets down?
Is there any doubt?
Going as we expected 10 days ago. The win last week was a fluke
Anything Adders and Howe want tbh.
Agree to disagree here. Keep up the Gambhiring though, need them all out today.
No it wasn’t
