I am not denying that. I dont really see how GG survives this test and performance. But I am pissed off coz even if you rearrange the deck chairs, its not gonna be much bettter. Rohit has broken Bumrah and we have very little left in terms of bowling talent without which we aren't winning ****, either home or away.
I mean I don't disagree at all, I've been wondering on here for the last two years where India's next wave of quicks will come from (and there remain questions about replacing Ashwin and Jadeja too). But this last two and half of the days cricket have not really been at an acceptable standard at all, that's purely on the players and on-the-ground team management. That first new ball spell was one of the worst I'd seen in ages.
i think there is no solution. India are at bang Afg or sl level now. They have lucked out talent wise. Not much coaches can do It was inevitable after several good years. Subcontinental teams have always struggled in England. They are simply not producing high quality pacers in domestic and whatever good batters they produce, they cant handle the overseas conditions
They're not. Good God man, they could've been 2-1 coming into this Test. The last two days have been a mental disintegration on par with the worst we've seen from an India team in years. Out of the blue too. You would've hoped Pant's antics would've galvanized them somewhat as a group but to put in that insipid performance in the field can only point to a complete lack of will and direction.
Its quite sad actually. Bumrah might be relegated to white ball only to preserve the rest of his career.
I see you've met halba
Do we have ball by ball data that far back to even calculate averages vs particular bowlers/runs scored by particular bowlers?
Charles Davis made a list from whatever data is available.
