Senile Sentry
International Debutant
Yeah ChePu numbers with the bat and Aswin numbers with the ball.
Incredible.
Incredible.
He certainly has batting nous but isn't aesthetic in a way that someone like Stokes or Green is, where they look like they could be world beating batters.This isnt a good description of his batting anymore. If you didnt know who he was and watched any random jadeja innings from the last few years, you'd go "Yeah that looks like a proper number 6 batsman".
I disagree with the thread title, purely because I think he's pretty appropriately rated as in the top 2 all-rounders in the world with Stokes
I think that's completely fair if people question whether he makes an all-time India XI, considering he's still playing and the competition in front of him. Anyone leaving him out now is off their head tbhThere are still people questioning whether he’d make an all time India XI, or even the current one (admittedly far less than 1 year ago for the latter).
Hell look at the B-G All Time XI thread - barely a mention. He’s a dead cert at this stage.
harsh on shakibI disagree with the thread title, purely because I think he's pretty appropriately rated as in the top 2 all-rounders in the world with Stokes
forgot about shakib tbhharsh on shakib
jadeja might be the better cricketer but shakib is clear as an all rounder.
Think they have tests against Windies in this tour, no?Easy to forget Shakib. he's had 1 year off from competitive cricket. Last time he played a Test was in October 2019.
In that time Jadeja has played against South Africa, Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia, and he's been beasting it.
Shakib has returned tho, but only in ODIs. Hopefully BD can play some Tests soon so we can see him in action again.
One of the rare ones whom I think was overrated at first, then went down to being about rated rightly and was, until very recently, under rated. Think most normal fans and the cricket world have woken up to how good he is now, though.Haven't people been saying he's underrated since forever
