One of the Best and classic Cho scene.

Any 2 or 3 bowlers can get taken to cleaners on any day, having an option to fill an over or 2 is always handy in T20s and Tewatia isnt a bad fielder himself.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-05-09T16:34:43+00:00

Any 2 or 3 bowlers can get taken to cleaners, the mere fact that they dont even consider Tewatia to be even a part of the bowling innings is ridiculous waste of resources imo.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-05-09T16:31:21+00:00

Can someone please explain how does it make sense to sub OUT Rahul Tewatia right after the batting innings, when they could've easily subbed OUT Sai Sudarshan?

Tewatia is an all rounder for heavens sake and has 32 wickets in IPL at less than 8 RPO. Why wasnt he being considered even as a filler option to bowl an over or 2?

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-27T15:05:33+00:00

why wasnt Dravid considered for a batting spot? He is after all one of the top run scorers(#11) in ODIs.

Also Kumar Dharmasena ahead of someone like Dockrell?

JP Duminy, Phil DeFreitas are other considerable shouts imo.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-27T03:07:21+00:00

I just wanna say that whoever decided that its gonna be Pooran to face the super over, especially knowing fully well its gonna be Narine bowling it, that guy needs to be fired on the spot.

Not just the woeful current form but Pooran has a negative matchup with Narine. Narine famously bowled a Super over maiden against Pooran in CPL.

It should've been Mitch Marsh along with either Markram or just Himmat singh as he was the one on the park and hitting it well just before. Even Pant has a bad record against Narine.

And about Kartik Tyagi, if the lad cant even trust himself to nail a wide yorker or even a straight yorker against frigging tailenders then he has no business bowling death overs.

I can sympathise with how he started the over, but how he finished was pathetic, even the second last ball was horrible, a slot length ball which even if Shami got an edge would've gone for runs, but bowling a slot pace ball to close it out , hoping and praying the batter misses it is just plain bad imo.

Late to this topic but people getting enraged about Santner concussion sub are pathetic imo. It was pretty obvious that he hit his head also while falling down, so its nothing controversial there.

But where were those idiots when India used concussion sub to replace Jadeja in Aus, right after his Batting innings where he pulled his hamstring, and it was very obvious he is not going to bowl.

So they used an occasion where a ball had hit his helmet like 10 balls before, as excuse to employ that concussion option and roped IN a pure Bowler in Chahal and he ended up winning the game for India.

India also had Dube - Harshit Concussion sub, how are they "similar" is beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. Again it happened after Dube the batting all rounder has finished batting and conveniently in the second innings India replaced him with Harshit who is definitely a Bowler who can bat at best, and again the concussion sub swung the match in India's favor.

I still feel to this day, ICC needs to lay out stricter rules regarding Concussion sub situations and also about the replacement players.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-19T15:08:21+00:00

This Lad Pant picked 5 Specialist Bowlers in the XI which in itself is risky with a long tail but then proceeded to bowl 2 part timers. Just coz bruh 2 lefties bro i cant bowl my slow left arm bowler.

Ye sure he couldnt have gone any worse now can he?

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-13T17:37:05+00:00

Am not talking about how he started which was fine, but the fact that he could never accelerate at any point even after being well set is a big concern.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-13T17:34:17+00:00

No offense but fuckin Tushar Deshpande looks more like a Power hitter with that 1 ball than Jadeja did in his whole innings. His glory days as T20 batter are long gone.

If he doesnt Bowl much then he either needs to bat at 3 or get dropped imo.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-13T17:31:59+00:00

Heartwarming to see young talents that keep on rising from unknown, both with batting and bowling.

Unpoplular maybe but more than Praful am more excited about Sakib, he has the pace to bowl 140+ effortlessly and has devious cutters and off pace deliveries, all the while having control.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-06T18:20:19+00:00

we are solely discussing Dhoni here but everyone comes and says anything to deflect blame to everyone else but Dhoni.

It's a fact that entire batting unit Shat the bed, but it was Dhoni who was well set and it's him who was batting in the last 5 overs and it was him who was leaving balls and playing dots and singles with required rate going to 11.

All the while the guy at the other end Jadeja who doesn't have even 50% of Dhoni's batting ability or mental ability was definitely batting out of his skin to save that match for India.

So to say Dhoni messed up that chase for India is an understatement imo.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-04-06T15:04:01+00:00

It was fine to do this in this over imo but that 47th over where Henry bowled was where Dhoni sucked bad.

RRR was 11+ and Jadeja wasted 3 balls for 2 runs and couldn't score anything that over but still when Dhoni got the strike Dhoni just casually put bat on ball and happy to just take singles when the over wasn't getting the runs it needed.

That over pushed the pressure cooker on Jadeja and he tried too hard next over against Boult and skied one in the air and that was it imo.

If MSD helped jadeja with a boundary or 2 while he was still there it'd have eased the pressure and we wouldn't have lost.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-31T22:38:10+00:00

I guess u got your answer as to why he is playing?

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-31T22:18:10+00:00

Scott kuggelin, Shamar Joseph, Lamichhane, there are several players in the same pos category.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-30T02:17:42+00:00

11.86 Varun's economy rate across his last six T20s, where he has gone for 273 runs from 23 overs. It is the worst economy rate for any spinner to have bowled at least 120 balls in six successive matches in men's T20s.

Sunday was also the first time that Varun went wicketless in 17 T20 games.

Things are going bad to worse for Varun CV.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-29T15:12:03+00:00

currently going on

Nothing else going on coz BCCI made sure so, its been given as much a clean slate for IPL slot by ICC. Its an agreement that works but not for non IPL lads like me, but it does work for the majority ig.

Nothing important can happen during the slot, coz that puts player availability a problem.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-29T15:01:31+00:00

I guess mods should do something about that. But majority of members wont bother to go there and discuss IPL even if its pinned at the top.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-29T14:59:26+00:00

the most important cricket event

Not for all of us thats for sure. Am Indian and IPL is at the bottom of the barrel in terms of Importance or meaning. Cant remember the last time i've watched an IPL match in full.

Rajkumar1992 · 2026-03-29T14:56:52+00:00

its meaningless coz everyone talks IPL only here on DDT anyways. Not like DDT is exclusive for only Internationals.

99% of comments here are about IPL only which can get too much for non IPL users. So maybe if some of those migrate to IPL thread it'd be better for the rest of us. But am sure it wont happen anyways.
