Worse. At least Bashir can control the run rate to some extent and can bowl long spells. Meanwhile India can't afford to bowl Prasidh for more than a few overs. He gets tonked every time! Doesn't even have age on his side. 29!

Rubbish in the field and useless with the bat as well. 🔥

I'm convinced the Indian selectors don't actually watch test matches. Prasidh has never not bowled utter rubbish at test level. Apart from this series, he'a also almost exclusively played in games where the pitches have been complete minefields. Almost lost us a game in SA when he bowled pies on a pre WW1-esque pitch where getting 30 was an achievement and he's only being selected for this tour imo because (a) he's tall and (b) because he scammed some wickets in Australia with some dreadful bowling on another crazy helpful pitch. The selectors basically just looked at the scorecard for that game, went "Omg he picked up 6 wickets " and said ok you're going to England. The worst thing for India would be if he picks up some jammy wickets here too and gets more chances because of it.

Yeah. He shouldn't even be given the ball again.

Sundar getting tonked. This is why batting deep doesn't work when it comes at the expense of not picking proper bowlers. No Kuldeep is gonna cost India hundreds of runs.
