Varun is the most difficult threat to Pakistan
So right rana sahab i think varun will be hard to face pakistan has to choose the right bowler to hit they can milk varun and look to attack bowlers who can be in Pakistan favour but it's gonna be hard to play these 3 guys in uae conditions.
Well farhan has came performing in domestic he has to be backed at all cost but he himself needs to know which ball he can go after rather than swing blindly.
Very rare for a Chinaman to become a test regular.Finger Spinners do better than wrist in tests
The Afghan spinners are as good as any in the world and at Sharjah are monsters. Pak will struggle because we are generally rubbish vs spin but it’s not an unknown.
Agreed that’s a general rule but many wrist spinners have also been very effective in tests. Warne, Murali and Abdul Qadir etc.
what? He is a test calibre bowler. Only reason he doesn't play because he can't bat as well as Sundar or Jadeja. India sacrifices him for batting depth.
yes but very rare case also none were chinaman,also Qadir was actually way more impactful in ODIs than tests.. Warne and Qadir were elegant to watch as well,
He is definitely capable ..but even in India he doesn't gets picked often.
Kuldeep has a good test record though
You think afghan spinners are as good as india?
Probably will in Asia
The best spin bowling attack in the world ofcourse in T20s, specially in Sharjah.
Maybe we should bring your hero Misbah back to tackle him?
If anything, I blame Misbah for this defensive mindset
Name one wrist spinner in top test playing nation who is a regular for his side in all conditions currently. None.
India has 2-3 spin hitters in middle overs to go after these spinners. Will surely take risks to take them on....
Ya but in the name of intent i am afraid pakistan will play like tullas just swining their bat blindly they have to give them respect and apply themselves.
They are not good enough. But Kuldeep is.
That is where you need good defense. All the Indians defend well when needed. If your defense is worse than your hacking then that is where things can go pearshaped. Team can completely disintegrate into pieces.
Ya even someone like travis head can be vulnerable against these spinners in uae conditions but maybe they can take the route of travis head go for your shots he is monster when he play like that vs india what do you think bro?
None of the hitter can 'hit' if the ball is gripping or spinning.
Ball is not gripping that much in Dubai for now. UAE just collapsed. It's not a reflection of the pitch. It's a good surface to bat.
They will access different parts like behind the wicket. Axar was the highest run getter in the Australia test series from both sides on turning wickets. He saved us with his batting.
But still it won't be easy against spinners if ball spun but not sure dubai assist spinner more than sharjah
Players that don't have backfoot game will not panick. Only if it is slow and turgid then timing will become harder. That's okay. India's bowling will be three times harder to face against on such pitches.
A composed Pakistan should not, since they recently played against arguably a better T20 spin bowling under these conditions.
What do you think in dubai bigger ground they are more dangerous than afghan?
Fakhar has faced KUldeep only in ODIs. 3 times
I remember him smashing a six or two against Kuldeep. Thats all you need in T20s.
The aim should be to milk their best bowlers, Kuldeep and Bumrah. Put up a total and not surrender like WC23. The concern is this batting lineup is not really equipped to handle top quality spinners aside from Agha. They’re all dashers.
Has has a grand total of 1 six in 33 balls against kuldeep. I am sure some tailender woudl have had one too.
Fakhar is not the batsmen you want facing a top spinner
I don't beleive in ranking in cricket cricket is hardly played between ten countries its not football where whole is playing any one can beat anyone its all depend on conditions same sena teams will struggle vs pakistan spinners in spinning conditions and if pak can play indian spinners well its game on.
SENA team was the on ewho reached CT fianl in subcontinent conditions. SENA team is the one that reached world cup final in SC conditions. OUt of the 4 teams that reached world cup semis in 2023, 3 were SENA teams. Out of the 4 teams that reached world cup 2024 T20 on those sluggish WI tracks 2 were SENA teams. Out of the 4 teams that reached CT semi final 3 were SENA teams. When it comes to ICC events they will come up with full strength team and put aside these "lower ranked" sides with ease. You can be happy with your bilateral wins where they don't play full strength side. At the end of the day that is the only event that matters.
Different formats. I know Indians have this impulse of defending the honour of their players but I am simply stating that it should be a good contest.
It is not defending honor. Just pointing out why your expectation have very little basis. I understand you want to project a "positive" vibe by putting down every opponent bowler with some weird match up projection. But just remember Pakistan was in deep trouble against UAE bowling and not long ago Bangladesh fast bowling. You don't even have to be a good bowler to trigger a collapse against pakistan.
You are not getting my point can any sena team beat pakistan in spinning conditions vs sajid and noman good luck india got whitewashed against average new zealand team in their own and let me remind you pak won england series with their spinners so anything can happen no need to make everying look great about india same india during inzamam era or wasim akram era were absolutely minnows every team has their time and era just need to be respectful no need to go over the top.
Sharjah matches are irrelevant as India doesn't play there.
This guy will do everything to make india look invisible but reality is something he won't accept same indian team during inzi or akram era were treated like minnows but now if they are good they are getting too egoistic every team has their era.
I don’t know if this has been discussed elsewhere but why does Ind avoid Sharjah?
Game against Ind has different pressure and it’s the pressure that gets to Pak players.
Lol during Inzy era India won most of the bilateral series.
I am talking about SENA teams. Where is India coming here. You are giving an arbitrary projection that Pakistan will dominate SENA in spinning conditions when you have zero evidence of that. So far you have played only West Indies, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, UAE with this team.
I thought it was because of their poor record there or alternatively because of Sharjah’s demographics.
They always try to write a feel good story about their team. Touch of arrogance that they can take down any team.
Lol noman-sajid have played only 2 series. sit down.
I remember salman butt and shoaib malik treating indian spinners like minnows that's the memories we had not sure what you watched even until now heat to head pakistan has been ahead of india.
Pakistan have been making them look good for years as well.
Their excuse for Sharjah is fixing but India generally avoids playing at difficult tracks against weaker teams. They are avoiding playing LOIs in Bangladesh as well.
Then that is selective memories cause in that era India won more series.
Thanks that’s right Sharjah was out of the cricket calendar for some time and I recall the context now.
