Indian Cricket Dhaba

Bet he never comes on as first change in his career.

He'll maybe even whine a bit when he's used as the second change bowler before he's given the new ball again. Honestly, the kid is going to take a lot of **** if he makes it. Looks like Bieber for starters and will constantly be compared to you know who if he makes one run with the bat. If I were him, I would just pretend to be a tailender.

Thats the trick Rohan Gavaskar missed. Tried being a batsman.

He was a decent offie too. Should have pursued that further

Could have become more boring than his father that way.

Rohan debuted in FC crcicket in the mid 90s and averaged 45. He was not given a go in tests. Strange. Its not like we couldn't have given him a chance as an opener or something. Our middle order formed in the late 90s with Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman but he could have opened.

 

[Pratters]

Averaging 45 in the 90s wasn't great. Batsmen used to regularly average 50-60 on flat track domestic wickets. Rohan was never a very good batsman.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah there were lots of players putting up better numbers, and his technique was never suited to opening. He was somewhat fortunate to play international cricket at all given he wasn't even really an above average domestic performer in the format he was selected in.

 

[Shri]

Just watched Tendulkar get out for a duck. Caught at fwd short leg off an inside edge.

Average age in that BPXI playing against SA A seems to be in the low 20s. Pretty understandably getting ****ed.

It does say something when you have one player making his first class debut and your most experienced player is Ishan Kishan

 

[rparikh14]

I do hope Mavi and Porel do well - Mavi bowled at an extremely good pace in the IPL (145 kph) and Porel was impressive in U19 WC

 

[Daemon]

I find it hard to rate Mavi at this point, all he's got is pace and nothing else. Early days obviously but still.

 

[Borges]

I quite liked what I saw of Yatin Mangwani (in the under 19 games against Sri Lanka). Mohit Jangra too shows promise. At least as of now, the Tendulkar kid is a hack

 

[Shri]

Of course he is. He hasn't and doesn't have to work a day in his life if he chooses to. Hungrier players will always beat him.

 

[CricAddict]

Ayush Badoni has been doing very well with both bat and ball. Anyone seen him play?

Lol some Indian batsmen that I’ve barely heard of are literally dominating South Africa A - 201/2 at run rate of 4.46

Ha so it's a flat pitch, I'm guessing

 

[harsh.ag]

SA A have got a keeper named Second. Heh.

Tbf some of them are domestic TTFs, even some of the bowlers. I have no idea why SA are playing against such a weak team on a road, although I'm not sure if this SA squad is also their first choice? I mean are any of these guys in line for an intl (re)call?
