Mumbai Indians - #BestOfTheBest

Was about to post it here. He will sure give a major boooooost to our highly run conceding bowling.

Thoug he'll not play the first half.

He's been terrible recently. I don't think he'll be such a big boost.

 

[Ohm]

We have this habit of throwing wickets away during first ten overs, playing at home, batting first.

Parthiv Patel is such an excellent T20 opener. Looks good when he's aggressive. Way better than Dhawan in this format imo.

 

[Markkkkk]

Ill ask this way overdue question. Why is Hardik Pandya so highly rated?

If the only FPS you have in your massive videogames' collection is Call of Duty Ghosts, you'd think quite well of it. (don't really know if the metaphor makes any sense )

Na I got it perfectly and it makes sense.

I don't think Hardik Pandya is highly rated. Yes, he did get undue credit for bowling that last over against Bangladesh which wasn't any good. Again, he is not an international level bowler yet but India has to stick with him because he has the talent. But yeh for now, he needs to keep coming up with performances in domestic cricket to keep his name out there for India.

He hasn't showed it yet but we have to keep him so that he can learn those things which he can't on a domestic level. We desperately needs an allrounder who can bowl(pace) and can hit out of the park.
So if he is playing every match that doesn't mean he is highly rated.

Pollard has to be taken out along with Tim Southee. Guptill and Anderson should come in their places and Hardik Pandya should bat down the order and Rohit at 3. Krunal Pandya impressed me today.[DOUBLEPOST=1460836255][/DOUBLEPOST]

We also need to find another opener and a middle order batsman in place of Raina.

ya atleast we have one copy of call of duty ghosts, but some team people have multiple copies of the same game and keep thinking all of that is great !

Na I got it perfectly and it makes sense.

I mean people who call duminy the best player of spin would know that analogy well!


Lol nobody is rating or hyping pandya other than @markkkk last i checked...he fits in the category of a resource we dont have like all other teams have if its SA people who can play spin, aus its bowl spin, pak its batsman now etc. So he is being tried out, i dont see anything wrong with that, lesser players for lesser reasons have been tried out by various teams!

 

[Ohm]

I think a change wouldn't make any difference until our top order starts to handle the swing well. The current lineup looks batting sturdy. It's just that our batsmen are failing to hold longer against the swing bowling of any type (even Praveen's 120 kph swingers). Also they are brain fading at some point, like throwing wickets away when steady knocks are demanded (especially Pandya and Pollard). Martin Guptill attacks the swing well, so he should be in. At least for all the Wankheded games.

That Duminy statement was such a stupid and pointless statement. I've wanted Duminy out the side for a while and I don't think anyone has said he's the best at spin. I've heard a lot of Indian supporters talking about how talented and good Pandya is.


Also what happened to Rishi Dhawan? I thought he was the next best Indian all rounder...

AS Stupid and pointless as your statement about pandya, i dont think anyone said he is the best allrounder, I have heard a lot of SA supporters talking how talented duminy is against spin!

Don't start a Pandya v Duminy war now
