Faulkner isnt an allrounder,rather a bowler who can bat like Ashwin.allrounders dont bat at 8.
Lance Klusener says Hi!!!
Ishant has had bad days before unlike the ATGs.benefit of doubt can only go on for so long.
Malinga received a double phainty last year. One from Kohli & another from Samuels (This one was the WC T20 finals).
I can give you hundreds of Instances where ATGs have received a$$ whooping multiple times. What can be argued is that Malinga performs regularly where as Ishant is stuck in stasis.
fair enough but you also have to see whether its good batting or bad bowling.In Ishant's case it was clearly the latter.
A$$ whooping is just that.. a$$ whooping. Nobody will scientifically dissect how good or bad you bowled when you go for 26/30 runs an over. It is clearly given that it was a bad over. If a bowler bowls 6 perfect yorkers but somehow gets tanked for 25 runs, commentrators will accuse him of being monotonous & out of ideas. But if the bowler tries too much variations, he will be accused of trying too much. There is no good over when a bowler goes for 20+ runs in an over. When it is not your day.. It is not your day. Simple as that.
no,Jadeja was poor till Asia Cup ,then was dropped,had a great FC season with 2 fc triple tons and wickets and made a comeback.Since then hes been good
nobody's saying banish Ishant forever.hes too young and talented for that
but he needs to be dropped so that he can work on his problems.It'll actually be blessing in disguise for him imo
Ofcourse!!! By all means he should be dropped. He needs to go & work hard. He really needs a break right now to forget about that over.
All I am saying is this vilification should stop. Ishant hasn't performed for quite sometime & in the midst of it, he bowled a bad over which costed us the match. But, the way everybody is asking for his head as if he has committed some grave sin. I blame myself aswell for this. In the heat of the moment, I also wrote similar comment in this thread above. But now that the moment has passed, I realize that he is only guilty of bowling poorly. He hasn't fixed any match or cheated his countrymen. We as a nation are guilty of not backing our pacers. Maybe, this is why we do not have any quality fast bowlers. Manoj Prabhakar got tonked by Jayasuriya and that was the last we saw of him. But if a batsmen gets out for a duck, it will be forgotten the very next day. Rohit Sharma wasn't performing for quite a long time but, the team persisted with him. He is beginning to turn a new leaf. Why can't we do the same for Ishant once?
Today, Amul released their signature Ad with Ishant Sharma. This is what I feel is not fair to him.
