Raju , you are not very bright if you think 265[ for 2 ] being chased down in 18.5 overs for loss of 4 on this postcard sized ground & atrocius pitch is fun !

Folks , the games on Saturday where record runs were chased , it was reported that a total of 14 catches were dropped across 2 games !
 
lol looks like the pitch curator took the comments to heart. What did he do? Run a tractor over the pitch?

Otherwise how do you go from 264-3 to 75 all-out on the same ground in a matter of days?

Poor batting? I mean the one with CSK vs GT has more swings and bounce than this one..
 
RedwoodOriginal said:
Umm...yeah. I know. I'm questioning how you can prepare two different pitches that are such polar opposites of each other in the space of days.

No they don't prepare on the spot. They are alrady there with different clay content. Watering and overhead conditions determine. There was slight drizzle in the air. Probably assisted them. Bhuvi was getting 3.2 degree swing. It is not suitable for stroke play . It lasted longer than expected. But chennai pitch was even tougher i heard as it had prodigious bounce too.

Typical Ind trundler. Hinge, Bhuvi, Nitish Reddy, Dubey, harshal Patel....legacy of Venkatesh Parsad, Srinath lol

McGrath and Pollock were also trundlers, but that doesn’t matter. It’s about bowling well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is still among the better bowlers in the T20 format (and personally I think in other formats too if he can maintain his fitness).

Don't waste time giving serious answers

You missed the jungle for the trees! 🤦🏼‍♂️
Calling anyone trundlers has no bearing - you have to be a good bowler.

Anyone who thinks Bhuvi is a good bowler isn't worth discussing with. A glorified trundler who looks like a nihari server rather than a bowler. Mentioning McGrath and Pollock in the same post as any Indian bowler is in itself blasphemy in cricket terms let alone Srinath and Parsad who would barely make Zimbabwe AT 11.

Again, nobody is comparing McGrath and Pollock with anyone. I pointed out the fallacy in your statement about the trundler comment. You are free to call those bowlers crap but it’s not because they are “trundlers”.

You are just being deliberately obtuse. I said typical Ind trundler. Typical Ind trundlers are crap. McGrath and Pollock are not trundlers nor Indian.

McGrath bowed in early to mid 130s in the last 5 years of his career and in late 130s in the early to mid part of his career. Pollock bowled in 120s in the last 5 years of his career, and mid 130s almost all remaining of his career. Yes, they were trundlers. But speed doesn’t determine a bowler’s greatness, his skill does that these bowlers had in abundance.

My qualified was Indian trundlers. I did not mention global trundlers. You Inds really lack logic. First Bose tries to pass off a lie and claim 2nd highest is the same as first highest and now you ignore the Ind part of the INDIAN TRUNDLER I mentioned and come up with this verbal diarrhea.

You lost the argument about lacking logic even before you wrote your first post on this forum with your username. Enough said.

"Charlie" you Inds make fun of the name Rizwan without knowing the meaning. You are an absolute clown much like most Inds with zero logic or civic sense. At least I have the guts to post with my own name rather than calling myself Charlie. Sit down.
🤡
 
Suryavanshi is not sparing anyone. Bumrah/Ferguson/Jansen/Arshdeep/Rabada/Cummins… it does not matter. They are all traveling.
Not sure how can tame this young tiger. So far, everyone is getting hammered.

What makes you think Charlie is not my name? Presumptuous much? Regardless, are you saying MenInG doesn’t have guts? Or BhaadViru for that matter? People choose their usernames due to identity theft online, not because they lack guts. Rizwan is fine, that T20Champ after it negates everything before.
You can keep standing while I sit.

Watched him properly for the first time. Seemed to me like he's almost a baseball batter in cricket. High backlift, firm based clean swing, lot of force. Probably the way cricket's going to go in the long term.

Yes. Superfast hands and a strong base to generate power. His timing is also top notch. He does bat like a baseball batter. His defense is also excellent. Defends with a straight bat. Never it appear like he is slogging.
 
Vaibhav-Abhishek-Arya-Jaiswal-Prabhsimran-Samson. One does not want to be a selector while choosing between these players to open.

Conceptually it does mean he would struggle against the yorker and movement though. He would have to commit to his shots early given his batting style but fast hands give him some margin for error.

Probably not relevant to T20 cricket except in a couple of pitches and a couple of bowlers but I'll have to see if I can catch him in a first class match to see how he adjusts his game.

Likely a year or so away from getting an India cap. Ideally a home series or two to give him an easy transition.
 
35 from 18 balls. . what a nail biting contest. . good news I have not placed any bet so I can enjoy the match without worrying about results. :kp
 
There are certain teams that are stuck in the past. Mumbai Indians is one. They scored only 50 runs in the last 5. That is where the difference is.

MI lack the fire power. They are wasting Tilak at no.5 or 6 and SkY is done.

Teams like SRH, RR and PBKS have batsmen that can chase any score.

Bumrah has been a disappointment in this year’s ipl. His lack of wickets is one of the reasons why MI are struggling.
 
While teams are trying to set & chase targets near to 250 (Batting shootouts), teams should start looking at their bowling... This approach (fire-fire batting) is a double-edged sword actually... When you pick good bowlers (wicket taking bowlers - both seamers & spinners - pack with quality bowlers) if pitch assists a little bit, you can catch the same blazing batsmen off-guard (like RCB did against DC). A team like RCB can fancy with their bowling unit (they exactly have the right bowling lineup)... RCB should start to pick both Hazlewood & Duffy as they approach towards playoff, compromising a batsman or tricking the impact-player rule...
 
Yaar, agla test match kab hai and who is playing?

Much as i like Vaibhav, admire his genius and also am excited at indian young gun speedsters like Kartik Tyagi, Ashok Sharma, prince yadav etc....

fed up of the Vikhroli vadapaav tossers or the PaharGunj pickpockets playing Nowshera Noodle flippers.... in the IPL / PSL/ Ghanta SL/ Jhumritalaiyaa Vladivostok Madagascarian PL T20 league complete with the same paint spill accident inspired uniforms...its all a blur with the same screeching TV anchors, artificial hype, ball getting slogged big time and bowlers apealing to anmesty international...and that epic cringe strategic time out money spinning tomfoolery.....


When is real Kirkoot returning?

Thy souls pines for Test kirkoot.......

the real Kirkoooot!!!!

Just like Gabbar in sholay said " test match kab hai....kab....KAAABBB!!!!!
