India (181/9) defeat England (166) by 15 runs to claim the 5-match T20I series by an unassailable lead of 3-1

Who was the match referee when jadeja was replaced by chahal?? Maybe a Indian?? LoL

You guy's are non-stop crying about india .

:kp

Jadeja shouldn't have been allowed a concussion replacement either given he had pulled his hamstring and was therefore unlikely to be able to bowl.
 
Harshit for Dube wasn't a like-for-like substitution.

Seems like India got away with it (as they often do).

India = daddy's little princess. :qdkcheeky

Post Match Interview: Jos Butter was not happy with India's decision to pick Harshit Rana as the concussion substitute (Multiple sources)
Tough gig. concussion rule itself is absurd. This like for like even more absurd. When all rounder leggie can be replaced with specialist leggie, it will be alright replacing all rounder seamer with specialist seamer. They cannot go by limited stats that is infront of them.
 
And the only reasonable replacement in the squad who would have played a similar role to Dube with the ball would have been Ramandeep Singh.
Ramandeep is not an all rounder in any sense. He is classified as middle order batter. Basically Shivam dube has no like for like replacement in the squad. India just exploited it. Other option would be Sundar which would also be controversial. Nitish Reddy is the closest.
 
Ramandeep is not an all rounder in any sense. He is classified as middle order batter.

If Ramandeep is not an all rounder then neither is Dube who has averaged bowling 4 balls per game over his last 12 T20Is.


Basically Shivam dube has no like for like replacement in the squad.

Then the request for a concussion replacement should have been denied.

They can't deny. This kind of situation will come again and again. THis like for like replacement is a total bull. You only have 12 or 13 players in the side. If a batsmna averaging 50 needs a sub he cannot be replaced only by a batsman averaging 50. Harshit Rana has a first class century. Does Ramandeep have a fifer in first class. DUbe has. He averages 21 in first class.
 
They can't deny. This kind of situation will come again and again.

Of course they can deny it. If there is no like for like replacement available/a replacement would unfairly advantage a team then the match referee should deny them.


Harshit Rana has a first class century.

Harshit Ranas batting is irrelevant to the discussion given India's batting innings was complete, all that is relevant is the role they'd be expected to play with the ball, of which Harshit's was in no way comparable to Dubes.

Ramandeep is hardly a bowler in that case lol You cannot assume what you would do and decide.Essentially DUbe has no concussion sub that matches him. So they will go with the available. If Adil Rashid gets injured while bowling they will go with Rehan the all rounder as they have only one specialist spinner in the side. If Rehan makes a 50 there is no point in crying.
 
Then as per the rules he should be denied a replacement, simple as that.
I am not sure that is in the rule. Besides you can raise objection for every concussion sub. if you have this stupid rule it will be exploited. Like for like replacement is a really poor criteria. Especially if you have a rookie player who don't have that much of experience you can't make a case. NItish reddy is largely a bowler in domestic. He averages 20 in domestic with bat. But at the internationals he looked a better batsman than bowler. So you cannot extrapolate domestic stats as well.

The rule literally states that the concussion sub shall only be permitted if they're a like for like replacement who won't excessively advantage the team.

As you've already said yourself, it wasn't a like for like replacement therefore by your own admission the substitution broke the rules.

if there is rule with possible exploitation, it will be exploited .india is well within rules.

Change the rules as simple as that because anyone can use it in the future Even against india.

How can you say "it is not like for like" on what basis? Rana hardly has first class experience. He has a 100 already. I am talking only technically.
 
Do you seriously believe Harshit Rana is a like for like bowler to Shivam Dube?
Check the entire thread .i was first one who said harshit is not a like to like replacement but it was close Just like Jadeja was replaced by Chahal under the match referee Boon

India is well within Rules but rules has major loopholes .you can't find like to like replacement in a 15 members team.

ICC has to allowed a replacement in the case of concussion Sub .this is what is the Main issue with this Rules .

Allowing england to lift the icc World Cup based on a deflection from arm boundary was the pure cheating but they also didn't break any rules .

His batting isn't relevant here, only his bowling, and it is blatantly clear that Harshit Rana is a far more serious bowling option than a guy averaging 4 balls per game over his last 12 games.

precisely. Ramandeep T20 strike rate is 172. dube's strike rate 142. He is better against pace. In case Dube walked out at 18th over and got replaced by Ramandeep and hit a quick 30 then also it would have been a controversy. YOU cannot make like for like replacement based on any criteria. Only rough criteria. If the player is yet to make debut it is even more tough.
 
You literally said it yourself. Multiple times:

What makes you think Captain would not have used Dube for 4 overs. lol Your entire argument is based on assumption.
 
harshit is not a like to like replacement

Then permitting a concussion replacement broke the rules. That's not my opinion, it's fact.

ICC has to allowed a replacement in the case of concussion Sub .

Probably best you read the rules before commenting on them. The rules make it clear that a concussion replacement shall not be permitted if it's not like for like and/or will excessively advantage the team.

Irony that you ignore two Major points made by me because that not suited for your narrative .

Ok first give the trophy to the NZ than we can disscus about concussion sub. It was blatant cheating .

This concussion sub rule is not suitable for this sports. Only 3 sports has concussion sub if i am right. Association football, rugby and cricket. I am not sure if this was pushed by Australia. Definitely it is not BCCI's idea.

Funnily enough I decided to focus on the bit where you admitted the rules were broken (even if you weren't aware you'd done it through lack of knowledge of the rules) rather than your 2 pretty irrelevant points, but if you do really need them explaining to you:

Chahal is a like for like replacement for Jadeja with the ball, although shouldn't have been permitted as a replacement given Jadeja had a hamstring injury so wouldn't have bowled anyway.

No idea on the relevance of the deflection. The umpire made an (understandable) error based on what he saw and the limited information available to him.

In the context of that game yes. The bowling innings was complete, Green's only remaining role left in the game was as the number 4 batter, which is a role Labuschagne is pretty like for like to.

Marnus is solid top order batsman while green batting was nothing more than a tailenders in 2023. Green was a tulla player

Their bowling isn't relevant given their bowling innings was already complete. The relevant bit the match referee has to consider is the role they were going to play in the remainder of the game, which for Green was the number 4 batter.

This is why like for like a slippery slope criteria. No player is going to be like another formwise, skillwise, conditionwise. Especially when the injury happens to all rounders. You can replace the all rounder either with bowler or batsman. It doesn't matter whether innings is over or not. If Hardik pandya gets injured who will they replace him with? There is no other hardik pandya in the side.

Like for like is based on the role they are likely to play in the remainder of the game. Are you suggesting Labuschagne is not a number 4 batter? The fact he literally played the next game as the number 4 batter when Green still wasn't available would suggest otherwise.

Once again, like for like is based on the role the player is likely to play for the remainder of the game. In this case Green was a number 4 batter for the rest of the game. The only argument therefore that Labuschagne was not a like for like replacement in this case is that Labuschagne is not a number 4 batter. Are you suggesting that?

From pakistani cricket journalist Mazher Arshad tweets


On the concussion controversy in Pune tonight.

Key words in the playing conditions are “Match Referee should consider the likely role the concussed player would have played during THE REMAINDER OF THE MATCH.”

After the first innings, Shivam Dube was supposed to bowl a few overs (especially considering India were playing with just one specialist seamer). That role was done by Harshit Rana. Whether Rana is as good a batter as Dube is is an irrelevant argument.

While the playing conditions can be debatable, you can’t fault match officials for implementing the rules.

It is also not the first time it has happened. In 2020, Yuzie Chahal replaced Ravindra Jadeja and took 3 wickets to win a T20I against Australia in Canberra.

The sport would be less controversial if people cared to read the playing conditions before the series/tournaments.

Just a few posts up you claimed very clearly that Rana for Dube was not like for like, have you suddenly changed your mind...?

The suggestion Dube would have bowled the overs ahead of Pandya is also laughable.

Once again, Chahal is like for like to Jadeja as a bowler, the issue in that case was Jadeja had a hamstring injury so wouldn't have bowled anyway.
 
Without bowling skill and fielding skill Green would not represent Australia most of the times.
That's because Aus has abundance of such calibre of players which it would take Asian teams probably decades. Camron Green is great addition to their side. A batsman who bowls at 140+, also in T20 he is a powerful hitter like Mitchell Marsh.

match referee cannot determine whether a player is part-time or frontline bowler. It has to be skill-based. Considering all Dube could do was bowl in the remaining match, the decision to let Harshit come in at his place makes sense.

I'm just giving back to you in your language because if you think Marnus is like for like replacement of Green than so is Harshit Rana of Dubey.

Jadeja was bounced out by starc .he has not played for another 10 days.Aussies made a mess after chahal won the match.

Of course they can, that's a massive part of determining the role someone will play for the rest of the game when only their bowling innings is left.

Labuschagne is a like for like for someone who's remaining role in the game is to be the number 4 batter.

Harshit is not a like for like for someone who's remaining role in the game is as a part time medium pacer who has averaged 4 balls per game in their recent career.

He had a concussion, but he also had a hamstring injury that would have prevented him bowling therefore Chahal should not have been allowed to replace him.

Dubey is a pace allrounder. So referee can't determined .you can't say he is a part timers or not.

Green was wicketless during the last BGT he played against india in Australia ( 2021)

If a batsman didn't Score a hundred in last 20 games doesn't mean he will not score in upcoming games.

:kp

Yes they can, that's exactly their role in determining the players likely remaining role in the game.

Ok, not sure of the relevance of this...? I don't know how many times it needs to be said, Green's bowling is irrelevant. His remaining role in the game was as a number 4 batter.

If a batsman didn't Score a hundred in last 20 games doesn't mean he will not score in upcoming games.

A batter not scoring a hundred in the last 20 games would be the equivalent of a bowler going wicketless. That's not what Dube's been doing, he's just barely been getting used as a bowler at all because that's not been his role.
 
England cricket had a day so bad, it could only be summed up in two parts

They woke up 400+ score piled up by Australian women in the morning, and then, just to keep the tradition alive, they went to bed after losing to the Indian men at night crying about the concussion sub.

Australian on twitter essentially the same on barmy army twitter feed. Basically talking about England having India at 12/3, 59/5 , them at 62/0, then 100 plus odd with 7 wkts in hands. Post mortem analysis "concussion sub". First match "smog". May be next time they should stop bowling bouncer to Dube lol They made a massive hoopla about Deepti doing a mankading in a dead rubber beacuse the English player cried.

Dubey had bowled or not in previous game its none of business of anyone .indian can use him at any time in the any games according to match situation.

He is a pace allrounder and this is what matters when comes to concussion sub.

:kp
 
His hamstring injury would have prevented him from bowling in the remainder of the game therefore the concussion rules are that he should not have had a concussion replacement who was allowed to bowl.
Lol there is no concussion sub for hamstring injury .jadeja was hit on the helmet by a ball .

Please read the conversation again. Yes, Jadeja had a concussion. In the same innings he got the concussion he also suffered a hamstring injury that would have prevented him bowling.
 
I agree with Jos Butler.

There is no way Harshit Rana can be a like-for-like replacement for Dube.

The game result should be null and void and it should be played again.
 
Next match India should experiment. They should play Ramandeep who is a monster six hitter.
As dube is injured,so he is the only option. Any concussed sub can't play for 1 week.In Mumbai ball does not spin much and it's a phatta for ishan,tilak slogging with dew factor too
 
With evidence of teams exploiting this rule a few times already, this rule should be reviewed by the cricket administrators.

I was not happy with India bringing in Harshit Rana for Shivam Dube. He turned out to be an impact sub for India. In Tamil, we call it "bohngu". It roughly means cheating. I would rather our team lose than win like this.
 
India cheating again and poor sportsmanship, ah what a surprise. Should be docked this game and the series.
 
:cobra

Match referee (Javagal Srinath) should've done a better job. Not sure why he allowed that substitution. It should've been a like-for-like.

This is why a neutral match referee is required for every game.
Haven't a pathetic bng umpire showed that in recent test series :mushy

That is going to be bloodbath. India should try sending India B team. Kishan, Ruturaj, Patidar, Prabhsimran, Abishek porel, Gill can be tried once more.
It's right after eng series, So we can expect similar squad as t20 wc will be in 6 months.Test players Jaiswal,bumrah ,nitish ? Won't be there i think.

BD revived Sanju's T20 career but looks like its going go be short lived lol. Jokes aside we are much stronger T20 side now than before despite recent "bloodbath" against IND. Even England got swept 3-0 last time they toured here. Problem is BD T20 team is plagued by consistent poor selection, nepotism, and Shakib/Tamim issues lol.
 
Manjrekar in cricinfo pointed out a good scenario for rana's inclusion.India may have argued they wanted to bowl 4 overs of pace from dube as its a pacy pitch. Dube have bowled in 100s of matches ( all formats irrespective of his ineffectiveness)as a proof.Since ramandeep but can't bowl 4 overs , they had a good argument for inclusion of pacer(who is more recognised as bowling all rounder ) for 4 overs.I personally think someone exploited the loop hole quite intelligently and tied match referee hands.Icc should be more proactive on this cases going forward .
 
The way we do it when we play league cricket - the inferior player is selected if there is no like to like sub. Sorry but the concussed players team has to suck it up. If for example, there was no real like for like sub for Dube , then an inferior skilled player should be picked. The concussed player's team should be at a disadvantage and rightly so if no like for like. So, if no like for like was there for Dube , then instead of Rana , Ramandeep or even Jurel should be selected if no other AR's are available . Actually Sundar would have been an acceptable choice and IMO it would have been OK. Not the other teams fault that the player was concussed and Jurel cant bowl or is a pathetic bowler. Sorry, but tough luck. You get "something" , not "everything" . If they dont agree - then alternatively go ahead and play with 10 players, your call .
Dont get concussed and then expect a sympathy favor.
 
So looks like javagal srinath match referee made the final decision. Morkel bowling coach took it to srinath - and then its srinaths call who could have rejected it
Why would he reject it? Give me a legit reason. Besides Ramandeep singh could have even batted by retiring Dube out and racked up 20 to 30 runs in the last 2 overs. THen also people will be whining. Cam Green and Labuscaghne both batted in the same match. Eventually Labu as concussion sub batting at 8 making 80 helped them win the match. Think about it. Two batsmen playing in the same innings. Ramandeep is a much better striker against pace bowling. EIther scrap the rule or let the team make reasonable choice. THe reason you allow the team to use sub is because you don't want the team to lose their services. If it happens to a batsman or a pure bowler it is straight forward. If it happens to an all rounder then you cannot nit pick things. SKY used RInku and himself as bowlers and won a match. So in T20 anyone can make things happen. IT is a massive whining, self-loathing. If you find there is a loophole close it instead of whining about it.

100% agree.

This is how they should do it.

These days a lot of bowlers can "bat" a bit so this loophole is going to get exploited again and again. Hard to blame India for doing it (all teams would), but the ICC needs to go back to the drawing board and tighten its regulations before this happens in a WC final.

This concussion substitute is suitable for rugby. NOt cricket. So they should scrap the rule. It is total waste of time trying to add more fine prints to this rule
