India's Test Bowling Stocks

[Daemon]

Everyone calls it the SMAT. I knew of it as the SMAT before I knew what it stood for.

 

[vcs]

SMAT definitely sounds like a multiple choice competitive entrance test

I wish his name was Syed Mushtaq Usman instead

What n00b doesn't know what the SMAT is.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I know what it is. But its not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the acronym especially in India ffs. Bad stuff from whoever decided it should be a thing.

 

[honestbharani]

Why am I seeing this SMAT thing everywhere? Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy isnt well known enough to get an acronym ffs. I thought Bhuvi had retired and was answering bad multiple choice questions where all the choices look stupid for some higher educations entrance exam by the sound of it.

Nah, there are enough of us now... it is the SMAT and Bhuvi is back. Deal with it.

We are incredibly lucky to have Ashwin and Jaddu being bona fide allrounders while also giving us the right arm-left arm combo. Those two will be even harder to replace than the pacers IMO.

And..........

 

[sunilz]

Sundar , Axar are the new Ashwin, Jadeja??

 

[cnerd123]

Tall Tamil Nadu offspinner who started their career as a batsman
Gujarati left arm spinner who constantly has to prove his batting credentials

Comparison checks out.

 

[Shri]

jaddu has three fc triple tons tho

 

[sunilz]

Would Jadeja have bowled better than Axar in this series?

Would Jadeja have bowled better than Axar in this series?

Probably not, we'll never know.

jadeja took 20+ wickets vs sa at home in 2015/16 and averaged 10 point something

ash took 20+ as well in the same series at a similar average
