    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    Probable Squad- Rohit Jaiswal Kohli Sky Samson / Pant Dube / Rinku Pandya Jadeja / Axar Kuldeep Bumrah Arshdeep / Siraj Unfortunately Jadeja isn't good enough with the bat for T20s and Pandya is seriously out of form and so are Siraj and Arshdeep. Let's not even mention the expected SR of some...

    Same with the visiting pacers in the SC. They get the right conditions they perform. But no swing, no seam and no pace and they are totally toothless.

    And now Sena don't provide pitches that assist spin in any way particularly when SC teams are touring. And thats perfectly fine but it doesn't mean spinners haven't been good there in the past.

    Wow including Ireland and Zimbabwe who hardly play tests. Well then you seem to be forgetting Afghanistan, who happen to play their home tests in SC or UAE

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Drift or flight are not minor weapons. As for the bolded part, touring quicks only outperform the touring spinners because usually the touring spinners have been of serious low quality. More often than not when touring teams have come with good spinners, they have clearly outperformed the...

    Dinesh Karthik's World Cup hopes are over after this. After refusing singles repeatedly, why not take a single off the last ball and take strike in the last over... or could have trusted Karn Sharma to bat lol

    Yeah, the spin quartet had retired by the end of 1979 and India was in serious transition bowling-wise.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Spinners use drift in the air to deceive batters like pacers use swing. They can use flight and get the ball to dip. They can use variations in spin. They use variations in pace. They aren't solely only reliant on spin off the deck. As for pacers, there's generally no seam in India. Bounce...

    He was batting well but thats terrible behaviour from Kohli when Technology has clearly shown on the screen why its a fair delivery.

    Why is it viewed as more important

    So not true. Fast bowling is also conditions dependent! India/Pakistan/SL/Bangladesh can have pitches that can make ATG pacers almost redundant. They can either be highways with no assistance for pacers or sharp turning tracks where fast bowlers are only required to take the shine off the ball...

    I don't think we can call him a bowling allrounder after looking at figures above! And thus Imran Khan > Gary Sobers (possibly) Imran Khan > Richard Hadlee (certainly) You can argue about Imran v Sobers because we are comparing across eras and between different kind of allrounders but Imran...

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Holy Crap! Imran Khan averaged 51 with the bat in his last 55 tests. He played 88 tests in total. So that means he was a bloody WORLD CLASS batsman as well as an ATG bowler for vast majority of his career!!! It's ridiculous, his record...

    Why is it viewed as more important

    Then no harm in having someone like Imran avging 37 with the bat In fact from 1980 onwards, Imran averaged 47 with the bat in his last 63 Tests (which is three quarters of his career).

    Even if they get only 250 from here. They have literally won the game in the first 6 overs. Thats how teams need to bat going forward in this new age of T20 batting. Every team should be aiming to get at least 80+ in the powerplay
