***official*** England whiteball tour of india January 2025***

[Spark]

Probably what will end up happening is that the 12th man is the dedicated sub, and it doesn't matter who gets subbed out, it's always the same guy subbed in.

 

[honestbharani]

At that time , opinion on CW was Chahal was a bowler and Jadeja an all rounder. So not like for like replacement. Imo Teams should declare this before the match to avoid confusion in the future.

The rule itself states clearly that like for like is not the only criterion. The role the player was expected to play in the rest of the game, is the criteria.

Yeah but that one makes sense coz Jaddu would have definitely bowled at least 3 overs when Australia batted. Which is what the rule says should be taken into consideration.

Jadeja took 6 wickets @ 53 in the ipl before that tour and went at nearly 9 an over. Chatal took 21 wickets @19 and went at 7 an over. Its obviously not as bad as harshit for dube, but getting peak t20 batting jadeja to bat for you than having chahal cover his overs is absolutely gross.

But he was the only other spinner in the squad. That was the point which swayed David Boon, I think. Here this was not the case as Ramandeep was there.

We finally agree. Dube was never going to bowl here, it was a joke to even put Harshit’s name forward.

This was before the toss. So, Dube definitely would have bowled, may be 2-3 if not 4 since he was coming in for Sundar as the all-rounder.

Dube bowled 1 (one) over in IPL 2024.

I failed to realize IPL was international cricket.

Compromise may be needed with concussion subs to ensure player safety

There has been uproar over India getting to play Harshit Rana as a concussion sub for Shivam Dube

More for Moanhill up there.


Yes, I still think they should have let Ramandeep be the sub but if Srinath really was partisan, he might well have let Shami in there as the concussion sub and not a T20I debutant.

I think it gives an indication of how often he bowls in T20’s though.

But if you’re fine with it, that’s cool.

Yeah, its not like cricket is a game played by a team where the rest of the team and its set up dictates the role of any particular player in each of their teams or anything.

Cricinfo is dominated by Indian readers. And even they clearly think it was unfair.

Shame on midget gambhir and co

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I absolutely hate whining.

The great Viv Richards once said,

Play who you wanna play in ur team, we’ll still beat your as$es

 

[kevinw]

It's sour grapes really, England should have won anyway.

 

[Burgey]

Just void the result and call it a draw.

 

[centurymaker]

Gambhir was desperate to win and pulled a deception on the match referee by asking for Rana as the replacement. And match refree approved without thinking too much. This mistake won't be repeated any time soon.

It just goes to show how under the pump Gambhir really is to resort to fooling the referee. If India play badly in CT, he'll probably get axed imo.

 

[Silly Point 2.0]

Didn't know Gambhir was India coach now. He was a shithouse as a player so not surprising

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I feel like this sort of thing has happened before? They certainly should clear up what they mean by "like for like"

it's the most cricket thing to cricket a vague easily abusable rule and then surprisedpikachuface.png when someone abuses it
