Thing is, Prasidh is bad at fielding too. Not everyone can be a Jadeja but you need to be good in at least 2 out of 3 disciplines to be in the Indian team.
Unfortunately banking on them sounds nice in theory but only works if you’re ‘00s Australia or something. We’re evenly matched with plenty of sides and sometimes it just comes down to the little things.
Thkaur's bowling is just terrible. We need Deepak Chahar getting fit & ready to partner the bowlers & provide some batting depth.
Yeah it is ok even though not ideal. But for me, it is like @CricAddict said - Bhuvi/Shami at 9, Chahar/Shardul/Harshal/Ashwin at 8.
Except you know this bowling attack cant do that. Its not exactly like the Windies quartet or McWarne or anything. They are still prone to getting smashed, its just that they are a bit better than the other options. So you definitely need a bit more batting cushion especially with ODIs basically being extended T20s now.
Harshal in ODIs
Guy is barely a 4 over bowler with his cutters
Broken back
Jadeja should be #8 and command a place as one of 4 frontline bowlers in a strictly 5 man bowling attack (not 6 man). If Jadeja's bowling is not good enough to play as a full bowler I'm afraid he doesn't get to play in the xi
You can say that again ?
An odi/t20 attack should always have 6 bowlers. Going with strictly 5 is suicide.
Agree either that or some batters that can combine to give you a 6th option like Sehwag used to
Yeah. Ideally, you'd want just one of Pandya or Jadeja in the side and a top order batsman capable of bowling like Sehwag. Having both Pandya and Jadeja in the XI is too much of a liability from a batting perspective; Pandya not much of a builder, Jadeja not much of a finisher.
One wicket and 2 very good catches by Jadeja since I said it. Anti jinxing works.
In Stick Cricket? Dude is so soft at the moment doubt he could even do it there
And yet someone decided that watching the final England India test was a good idea….
