    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Let's hope Hardik Pandya makes a case for himself by playing a round or two of Ranji.

    Thats exactly the squad they are likely to go with.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    India would be lucky to remain competitive over the 5 tests. It could easily end up like 2011/12. The management is being stupid and playing 3 premier seamers at home vs teams like Bangladesh. I would actually only play 1-2 seamers vs NZ and play 3-4 spinners. The fast bowlers have had a good...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Here is the hierarchy- 1. Bumrah 2. Siraj 3. Akashdeep 4. Dayal 5. Mukesh Kumar 6. Prasidh Krishna Because in the Irani Cup that's happening right now between Ranji champs Mumbai and Rest of India XI, selectors went with Yash Dayal, Mukesh Kumar, and Prasidh Krishna as the 3 pacers. Moreover...

    He was going to be rested for either the 2nd or 3rd Test anyway. But I hope he only plays one test now instead of two.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Others were going on about Shami and downplaying Akashdeep but I had a feeling that Shami might either not return or not be at the same level again upon his return because he is not actually 34 now but 36-37 years of age! He is pretty much finished as a pace bowler having not played for a year...

    He will be dropped from the playing XI soon. Another 1 or 2 bad performances and yeah.

    "While Suryavanshi’s official age is listed at 13 currently, there remains some confusion over it. In an interview in 2023, the left-hander who plays for Bihar said he would turn 14 on September 27 last year, which would now make him a 15-year-old. However, the BCCI enlists him as a 13-year-old...

    Before India's innings began, I expected India to bat at least 50 overs till stumps at 6 rpo and either declare overnight or after an hour on day 5. But never imagined they could go at 8-9 per over and make Bangladesh bat again for an hour. It leaves Bangladesh in a very tough position where...

    Advancement in bat technology

    Even with all the fielders on the boundary, the batters are still able to pierce them to hit fours with ease due to the immense power generated by current bats. 4s and 6s have lost their value. It's too easy, no matter the format of cricket.

    It's not a day 5 pitch that you can imagine India getting bowled out in 30 or so overs even chasing a 160 run target. Yesterday, players had to hit out or get out as they were going to declare soon. And there was no downside risk, India couldn't lose, so they had no fear of losing 1st innings...

    Nah India won't bat till 350. 300-330 (70-100 run lead)

    Rohit led the way with 2 sixes off his first 2 balls. Set the tone for the innings.

    Pitch is playing some tricks. Batting doesn't look that easy with the older ball, compared to the new ball.

    Looks like India will declare tonight or get bowled out before that.

    ***official***Bangladesh tour of india - 19september -12 october 2024

    This pitch ain't degrading in 2 days. If anything it may lose a bit of pace, which is not ideal. It all depends on whether India gets close to 100 run lead tonight or not.

    India need to maintain a runrate above 7 and declare at stumps today with a lead of 100-120. Then force Bangladesh to bat 80+ overs tomorrow. And chase a small target quickly. Other option is, if there are enough batters left, is to bat another 15-20 overs tomorrow and get Bangladesh to save...
