[10sion]

50 wickets this calender year.

WTG SIR!

 

[joly]

Was the stand out bowler under a road with dew

 

[Energetic]

50 wickets this calender year.

WTG SIR!

Yes more matches = more runs and wickets.

 

[hadi123]

Very good bowler but i don't rate his batting

 

[joly]

Can make most teams only for fielding and throwing abilities, six 50s are just a bonus

 

[Haripotter]

Yes more matches = more runs and wickets.

I know ur trying to make case strong for ajmal..

More matches = more wickets is a flawed argument ,considering the fact that most of ajmals wickets came in Muddy roads of UAE whereas SIR had to bowl at Indian highways

The real comparison would be head to head, in same sort of pitches in England in CT .

R Jadeja : 5 matches and 12 wickets
S Ajmal : 3 matches and 4 wickets

 

[Electron]

Sir is seriously underrated.. The phatta wickets he bowls on will break any bowler ( including the magician )

 

[W63L35]

Highest average, highest S/R and 2nd highest scorer in the series so far... What a player!!!


.

 

[joly]

And Sir keeps on shutting off mouths, bowled some unplayable deliveries every 3 balls throughout the day

 

[Sandeep]

Highest average, highest S/R and 2nd highest scorer in the series so far... What a player!!!


.

WL, need your analysis for test matches too.. I'm sure Sir wouldn't look as good, but will be fun

 

[Mr Consistent]

today he will b key for india

 

[Reverselap]

Sir is so gracious, he became Kallis's 200th catch

 

[Haripotter]

When there is accuracy , The bowler is always the one to reckon with

I only wish he has the bowling weapons like ajmal .... He could have been doubly dangerous

 

[Energetic]

He is mediocre simple as that.

 

[ads101]

averaging 20.42 with SR of 58.4..

to put things in its place , 's average is 26.54 with SR of 60.1 ( and uses sleeves too )

I like Jadeja. He's my favourite current Indian cricket ever since Tendulkar retired.

Think he should really be India's no.1 spinner. Ashwin should not be treated as India's main spinner. He is clearly that in LOI.

In tests, I'd only play Jadeja away in terms of spin (unless pitch demands it), and at home, play Jadeja and Ashwin.

Hopefully Jadeja starts coming good with the bat a bit more. He's certainly capable of it, despite doing well enough with the ball.

 

[IndianWillow]

Jadeja has some magic. And he is a fighter, who would have thought he would make it to the bigger stage. He was giving his best for every delivery here, and Ashwin did not appear so during the first test.

oh yeah. And please Add the longetivity too. how can u ignore that he has played a massive 5 test matches.

Touche mate!

 

[Executioner]

But this is only Jaddu's 5th test match.

Mominul Haq averages 84 in 5 tests for example A small sample size won't give a clear picture. However, the future is bright for Jaddu if he works hard that is.

And PP should have a Ravindra Jadeja Simile!

 

[Saurav]

Bowled 58 overs and hardly ever looked tired

 

[Haripotter]

PP should have a SIR smiley as well as Ishant Sharma smiley... These are extensively used in conversations so it would be nice

Ok now, we know you have this feeling of Shakib v Jadeja, lets not spread hatred and enjoy cricket. Shakib is leagues above Sir, if that's want you want to know.

 

[ads101]

Know we all make fun of him, but I genuinely think he's gonna go down as a great.

He's a very hard worker who really looks to improve himself. He's come on leaps and bounds since he started. His bowling now, he's a very calculating spinner, who bowls good line and length, very accurate. Won't be thrashed around even on pitches that don't suit spinners. His fielding is immense, arguably best fielder in the game at the moment.

Now his bowling is in order, reckon he'll look towards his batting, which will also improve.

Think he'll be the next great allrounder we have after Kallis. Not even joking.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

he has already slaped hard on those peoples faces who made fun of him with sheer hard work and performance on field.

LOL! anyone who can roll over his arm and hold a bat gets to be called great nowadays I guess..

 

[Madplayer]

you thought wrong mate. Everybody on PP is not the same. Peaks are important too but for peaks to be recognised as actual 'peaks' , a player needs to play a substantial amount of matches. And by calling these 5 tests of jadeja as 'peak' ,are u trying to suggest that jadeja will only go downhill from here?

 

[Executioner]

Ok now, we know you have this feeling of Shakib v Jadeja, lets not spread hatred and enjoy cricket. Shakib is leagues above Sir, if that's want you want to know.

Well obviously Shakib as an allrounder is much better so I don't think its worth comparing

But I think Ravindra Jadeja as a sole bowler will definitely become better than Shakib or any other SLA. People should stop talking about his 300s in FC cricket and consider him a bowler who can bat these days. And thats probably what India needs with quality batsman in the side and only a weak bowling attack. Taking 6 wickets in debut overseas series is not easy

 

[RickyG]

It's crazy where hard work can get you.

I think many people can take a leaf out of Sir Jaddu's book. Have genuine respect for this man.

 

[Chromeuser]

I saw his interview on StarSports and was shocked to see he is a simple and down to earth guy.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jdSkgvKAII

Does any one have the link for his full interview???
One Funny incident in his interview - one kid asked him I can spin and bowl fast too and I love bowling fast too so which one should I prefer.
Sir said even if you love bowling fast don't opt to become a fast bowler and be a spinner as pitches in India are very very slow so you will demoralized in your young age. That was quite funny hahahha

 

[Nuekboi]

Bowled an entire ODI innings worth of overs and more. #respect

 

[Swing]

He needs to work on his batting. Bowling seems to be fine.

his full interview is in heroes thread

yeah comes across as a shy introvert guy like me

 

[leatherface58]

Sir got no support from useless trundlers like Zak and Ishant. Even Shami looked off-colour and was underbowled. Baffling tactics from MSD.

A hard working cricketer and people may not believe it but I have always rated him higher than Ravichandran Ashwin as a bowler in any format. My admiration for him became a bit more serious than these jokes following the performances in th ICC Champions Trophy this year. Ashwin is good for all those teams like West Indies, New Zealand etc. who can´t even dream of playing a wicket-less over against the spinners, but he is nothing to be feared against the top batting line-ups even in India.

* Who is Australia´s only good batsman of spin bowling? Michael Clarke. Who trouble him the most in the four Test matches series in India?

* During the home ODI series against Australia in which every batting record was broken thanks to the flat pitches, who was amongst the most economical bowlers?

Now, as for the ongoing Durban Test match, the most noticeable difference between him and Ashwin is that the latter has a habit of bowling absolutely harmless deliveries on the pads and bowls short balls too often which is a nonsense practice for a spinner!

The ball was not changed for 146 overs. Bowlers are naturally ineffective with that ball, but Dhoni thought he could check the flow of runs that way. Shows Dhoni's lack of confidence in his bowlers more than anything else.

 

[ads101]

Are you sure?

I think so, I'm calling it.

 

[Madplayer]

great human being, very good bowler but the fact that he has scored 3 triple centuries in domestic speaks volumes about the bowling standards in india.

 

[RamLakhan]

The fact that he gets selected in Indian Team as Bowler and picks up 6 Wickets in an innings straight away speaks volume about South Africa's inability to bat against even average spinners

India doesn't need a triple centurion Jadeja to be part of their batting team! Their batting standard is so high that they don't need him!

 

[joly]

3rd most wicket taker and second best strike rate and 3rd best average from BOTH TEAMS just from one game, jadeja really did not dissappoint

 

[Energetic]

Anyone even the likes of Dhoni can pick up a 5 wicket haul with that amount of overs.

 

[IndianWillow]

Look at the average and strike rate - why do you bother about overs? Jadeja was bowling very well from his first over, and it is reflected in his match average of 25. You don't pick up wickets simply by bowling more overs and even if you do, if your bowling is crap your average will be like 60 or 100.

really?you think its easy bowl that many overs n take wickets without any support?

A tie against New Zealand from nowhere! What a man!

 

[IAJ]

Very good and clean hitting.

But he should have walked when he edged to the keeper.

 

[IndianWillow]

^Nobody does that, not in a ODI match anyway.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great effort tonight!

 

[Aman]

^Nobody does that, not in a ODI match anyway.

Not many in his position would have so you can't really blame him.

*The Jaddu update after the first Test in New Zealand*

Didn´t bowl well, but batted quite aggressively and did give the opposition bit of a scare in the second innings. Most importantly, effected one good run out and took two awesome catches, of which the videos are below......

Unbelievable how he got McCullum run out there.

 

[Energetic]

The greatest all-rounder of all time. Time to wake up some silly fans.

 

[ali_zee]

if I am not mistaken the RULE about throwing the ball in the air before crossing the rope and then catch has been changed by ICCb few years back...a fielder who crossed the rope will not b able to entertain the ball at that time...NOT so sure if it is still effective...anybody remember that??

 

[cricket sport]

That was the magical catch by Sir Jadu.

Poor man's Hafeez.

This is exactly the thing me, my brother and my father were discussing the other day. I do remember some changes being made to that particular rule. Martin Guptill took a similar catch in the ODI series......

when a filder moves out of boundary , he should come inside first ( need to touch the ground ) before catching/touching the ball

 

[Saurav]

Poor man's Hafeez.

lol most would take him above Hafeez

 

[joly]

Should be allowed to bat at 5,6 in odis, he is much better than a no-7,being wasted at this spot

 

[Poison]

I really didn't like this guy but he's growing on me.

I think it's the moustache. Actually I'm certain it's the moustache. Imperious mooch if I've ever seen one.

 

[Haz95]

He is ok, not a 'sir' by any means, even sarcastically. He is no better than Hafeez or Shakib with the ball and he's behind both in battings, still has miles to go to be even considered a good allrounder let alone an ATG like some are making it to be.

 

[Mamoon]

He's quite rubbish to be honest and has resorted to macho looks and attention seeking mustaches to make his presence felt.

Without the "Sir" and the look, he's a pirated version of Shakib.

Really good fielder though.

 

[IndianWillow]

Shhh stop making fun of Sir, he has three triple centuries in FC. He is in an elite group - of Bradman, Lara and such big names, and he is only 25.

Actually Pujara has 6 triple centuries from what I have heard. 3 in grade cricket, 3 in first class. Dude scored 3 triples in a month.

[joly]

hafeez and shakib better than jadeja, jadeja saves more runs on the field than these two makes with their bats , haters will hate

 

[joly]

If we had another spinner of jadeja's calibre, we could be a top bowling unit ,his economy of 4.4 in the death overs in the last 2 years have been awe inspiring as Rameez pointed out in the match against lankans

 

[Swing]

Re: Sir Ravindra Jadeja tributes thread

Jadeja is actually a decent player but nothing more. He is very good in fielding and useful in batting and bowling. I think he is a bit underrated because his bwling can be very effective if the pitch suits him.

You can't get Sir out until Sir allows you to.

his performance in last 2 years (against non minnows)
batting : Average of 41.20 in 37 matches with a strike rate of close to 90
bowlingtal 54 wickets at an average of 28 in 37 matches with economy of 4.6

one bad game with ball and people are going after him
