In one of his interviews last year, he said he's learning 360 batting from AB. Kohli is giving him tips on building innings and he spends a lot of time with Gayle. Very good company to learn from

Way too lucky imo and looks like he is backed by Kohli to be playing second season at such young age as a regular for RCB.
 
Finally a contest in IPL 2016. All the games were one sided so far
 
Sarfaraz might end up being the difference between SRH and RCB in this match not sure Warner can go till the end.
 
Fizz bowled wel but if he is going to bowl 2 seasons for SRH not sure that would be good for Bangladesh.

not sure whats wrong with that? He will be found out? A lot of BD fans are also conscious needlessly.

I think 4 over spell twice a week is not too much a toll with kind of care on offer. And speaking of which, i don't think people will be able to read his cutters. Just that he has so many different cutters without any real change in arm action. It was actually easier to read Narine really

Kohli likes him no doubt. That's the thing about 360 batting, if it doesn't come out, it looks ungainly. Also, there is no other way he could have scored 35 (10) with Bhuvi bowling full. It is lucky if he scores a boundary. It's skill if he does that for 10 balls.

That was good,lucky i meant as in the guys he shares the dressing room with he could learn so much from.

It is very difficult to hit him with his variations. However, it is not as difficult to navigate him for singles and an odd boundary if you've played him enough. All the players would have played him enough by the end of the IPL

Yes. No doubt. It's a good initiative to include U-19s in the team for the same reason

The thing about IPL is not the matches but the travelling which might take a toll on him.You might be right about figuring him out its very hard Gavaskar has repeatedly shown his action saying its very hard to predict his cutters.
 
RCB has Milne too? Damn these guys. Kohli's captaincy looks better since he started captaining India.
 
I have high hopes for Hooda. From whatever I have seen from him, he is very talented and a clean striker of the ball and he could be the man which India badly need at the back end of innings in LOIs.
 
The Indian talent has looked very poor so far. I missed Sarfaraz's innings but it seems like he chanced his arm and got lucky with the short boundaries.

Yep. A few lucky incidents in the last 3 overs. Watson's dismissal was a lucky one too. 9 out of 10 times it would be glanced to the boundary. Also, Sarfraz was unlucky to miss a couple of sixes in the last over. They just missed his bat by an inch.
 
Hooda is useless,Chahal has done wonders for RCB they are so lucky to have an unknown spinner performing for them :facepalm:

He was also good last year against many international bowlers. I particularly remember a knock where he smashed Faulkner, Watson, Southee etc at the end.
 
Sarfaraz defn has lot of raw talent but with that fitness he wont make the LOI Indian side lets see how he grooms himself.

Not really. Mustafizur got lucky with one ball in which Khan went for an idiotic scoop off a cutter. Rest all were very good executed shots in the gap and they would've went atleast for boundaries even if they hadn't gone for sixes in some other ground.
 
I know, it is a PATEL. A GUJU !!!!. You will never see Guju fast bowler bowling at that speed. That is pretty impressive....for a Guju.

Dude.. Munaf Patel was very fast initially. You seem to have misguided stereotypes

Lol dude Zaheer Khan,Munaf Patel,Irfan Pathan Baroda produces a lot of them also this guy apparently worked on himself and changed his action to bowl quicker.

Zaheer Khan isn't a guju and the Pathan brothers are Pathans. Munaf was the only of other guy that I was impressed with. It is fun making fun of Gujus. even Jus Reign does it :yk
 
Ashish Reddy looked like a kid couple of years ago, now he looks like a 40 year old alcoholic.

He is partly right though. IIRC Gujarat did not produce a fast bowler after Amar Singh until Zak came onto the scene.

Actually Zak is Marathi just found out so yeah he might be right but Indians hardly produce fast bowlers as such can't blame Gujarat for it.

It is tough to produce fast bowlers on gujju food :yk

You only get to see Canadian Gujjus,you should come check the 'Surat' city PAtels!

But they are all trundlers you just named.

I don't trust the speeds for Indian pacers. I think they have been rigged.

I see all kinds of gujus. The Gujus there are the ones that make it here. Guju "fast bowlers" stop 3 dvisions before the top division cricket. Then it is replaced by everyone else. No middle order Guju batsmen either. That is enough of Anit-Guju comment for today. Guju girls have always been kind to me :narine

Morgan should go back to playing for Ireland. Not good enough for top-tier international cricket anymore.

Gujjus throw some of the best parties around here. Gas stations during the day and Gangsta Rap at night:)
