Take out the 5 matches against Zimbabwe C team we played in 2018. When their board and players had pay issues so they fielded non-regulars
Huge insult to Azhar Ali tbh.
Shan is good at no 3.Shan opening is considered "radical" now?
I mean he is an opener
That works too. About time Imam is booted out of the team.
This will never happen.
Why? He is part of the squad and better than Imam.
Shan did and I was impressed with him. But in t20s when he saw it not working he reverted back. In tests all I care about is how big the score is.
Not being a trailblazer doesn’t mean he wasn’t good.
Pujara scored runs too. Iman is just wasting time.
Pujara’s SR across all of his matches in Australia was 37.
Pujara has Kohli, Rohit and a few others as well. Please do not compare him to Pujara. Indian test team is on a different level. Imam is overweight and is not good enough. Period.
I already said he’s not as skilled as Pujara, just that grinding the bowlers down is a solid strategy in Australia. I’d rather Imam play at a 30 SR than have the whole team collapse in Australia like usual. I criticize Imam when he plays bad, but so far he has played a fine innings.
Pujara averages 47 in Australia. The match just began? He’s scored 38 runs so far and is not out. Nothing wrong with the innings so far.
27 SR after facing nearly 150 balls. Yep nothing wrong with that innings. It's a poor effort so far and should be called as such. Don't give him credit based on your expectations.
I don’t think you know what the word superstitious means.
Sure. You are already celebrating Imam's knock just because it has come at a low SR. You probably think the recipe for success in Australia is low sr
just because Pujara scored his runs at a relatively low sr. That's how people make attribution errors. It's superstition. Nothing else Could you please show me the post where I celebrated his innings? And particularly where I celebrated because it came at a low SR? I said he’s played a fine innings so far and I hope he stays on and accelerates throughout tomorrow - nothing superstitious about that. The longer we make Australia bowl, the more miles we put on their bowlers legs, the better we will fare as the series goes on.Sure. You are already celebrating Imam's knock just because it has come at a low SR. You probably think the recipe for success in Australia is low sr
Every post of yours including this one.
The match is not even halfway finished. If you’re going to have meltdown after 2 sessions of batting, Test cricket might not be for you. I’d advise watching T20 instead.Every post of yours including this one.
If you think an innings at sr of 27 after facing nearly 150 balls is a "fine innings so far" then who am I to stop your bhangra
Well it's a dross innings so far and should be called as such. Simple as. If he makes amends, he should be praised but I see no reason for applauding him for the imaginary.
Honestly, this. If he does this, all is forgiven.
No bro tuk tuk in any form creates negetivety for the entire batting order. Imam is a timid character who played this inning to save his place in the team. In this inning he managed to score only 4 boundaries even after playing 199 balls which means he was scared of playing good strokes and made this score with singles & some 2s & 3s. An opener who has played overall 42 test innings so far must try to bring some value to the team and set strong foundation for middle order. You don't help the team if you don't score
LOL so he can bat like tailender but the other bats have score 2 times his SR. He is pathetic, and even unfit. Shows that even by changing captains nothing changes.
He was the only batter who showed grittiness. For this innings, he should not be criticized.
He showed nothing. Selfish 50.
