    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    I think Kohli believes so. He certainly relies a great deal on them since they can turn even on roads they play on in England. To the point that he is backing them to win the England series for India like they did in SA. Also, Umesh isn't more of a wickettaker than any of those bowlers except...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    I think Indian lineup with Rahul moving in at 3 now presumably is as good as its going to get however there's still the no.6 issue assuming Dhoni is promoted to 5. I prefer Raina or Jadhav over Rayudu or Pandey since the latter two can't bowl. Nohit Dhawan Rahul Kohli* Dhoni+ Jadhav/Raina...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Except those two spinners weren't Yuzi and Kuldeep which makes your argument irrelevant. Ashwin and Jaddu never had that kind of impact in LO cricket. Plenty of spinners like Mishra, Axar, etc were being experimented with because those two were clearly ineffective in terms of keeping things...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Yuzi or Kuldeep have done enough for last year or so to not lose their place to anyone. So have Bhuvi and Bumrah I guess. They have to be the core of any Indian LO attack with Bhuvi-Bumrah bowling the first ten overs and death while the middle overs being bowled around Yuzi-Kuldeep. I don't...

    Devendra Bishoo- The G.O.A.T Nightwatchman

    No. Ishant Sharma is the GOAT

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Pretty much so. And I'm really happy with that because neither of them takes wickets regularly in middle overs like Yuzi and Kuldeep nor can they score quick enough like Axar or Krunal. Ashwin especially in ODIs is always looking to save his ass by bowling quicker middle stump lines rather than...

    *Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

    Pity. I actually enjoy seeing this kind of misery on pitch. Reminds you its not always a batsman's game.

    *Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

    What is the lowest aggregate total in a test when a team is bowled out in both innings? I'm guessing Bangladesh would have easily made that record if WI's main quick was not injured.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Chahal is simply indispensable in the LO team and so much better LO bowler than Krunal. He has 43 wkts from 23 games at Ave 22 and economy of 4.7. It doesn't really get any better if you aren't Rashid Khan. I don't think he's going to be drop anytime soon for anyone. Besides India also have...

    *Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

    I was joking But you're right. Afghanistan definitely have a better bowling attack than Bangladesh without Fizz, maybe better spinners but they haven't been tested on test level yet. In terms of batting Bangladesh is certainly far more experienced and more reliable to not collapse against a...

    *Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

    Afghanistan are probably more talented tbh. They played a stronger nation than WI in their den, had superior seamers who bowled far better on a less helping track and also scored twice as many runs in the first innings against a superior attack.

    *Official* T20I Tri Series in Zimbabwe 2018

    28 off 34 by Short while chasing 195. Pathetic. Pakistan didn't even bowl that much spin to him. What a hack.

    It'll be okay. Arun will make up for that with his 150* (60)

    *Official* South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka 2018

    Going with Philander and two spinners would be idiotic imo. I can't imagine the former doing a lot in SL because his brand of bowling relies heavily on helpful conditions. I'd much rather play an extra bat like de Bruyne or even someone like Duminy (or has he retired?)

    After the ODI series with India, they'll look quite mediocre at ODIs too tbh

    Can Dhoni bowl?

    Gradually Kohli will fade into the background. Rahul is the new Virat.

    QF2: Brazil v Belgium

    Belgium arguably the strongest attack this WC especially with Lukaku on song. Brazil decent but probably 2nd best defence after Uruguay. Fascinating match up for sure.

    *Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

    Jayed definitely moves it but isn't at all persistent with those probing lines. Can't blame him though considering what its like for Bangla seam bowlers back home. They've picked a guy with >40 FC average ffs
