‘Did Not Support Jasprit Bumrah Much…’: Ex-India Coach On Pacers Poor Outing During SA Test Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun was all praise for star pacer Jasprit Bumrah following his performances in the 1st Test against South Africa in Centurion last week. Bumrah was India's most successful bowler during the humiliating innings-and-32-run defeat to South Africa in the Boxing Day Test. He picked up four wickets and conceded just 69 runs in 26.4 overs on a track where rest of the India bowlers struggled. Arun was mightly impressed by Bumrah's bowling, but rued the fact that he did not get any support from his fellow pacers."So, if you really look at the discipline that the South Africans showed, if you look at the pitch map of Rabada in the first innings, it was impeccable. Yes, the four-to-six-metre marks are the best, because that gives you a chance for the ball t...

“We Need To Protect It”: Rohit Sharma’s Blunt Take On Future Of Test Cricket | Cricket News

[ad_1] India lost to South Africa in the first Test match© AFPIndian captain Rohit Sharma feels that it is each and every ICC member's duty to protect the sanctity of Test cricket as it remains the ultimate format. Cricket South Africa selected seven uncapped players, including an inexperienced first timer Neil Brand, for the upcoming tour of New Zealand to accommodate top stars for the cash-rich SA20, which is coinciding with the Test series. All the SA20 franchises are owned by IPL team owners and the move to prioritize franchise cricket has earned widespread criticism. “For me, Test remains ultimate challenge and we would like to see best players playing that format but everyone has own problems to deal with and make sure there is a reason behind it,” Rohit reacted when asked about th...

“No Sharpness In Bowling”: Ex-India Star Blasts Pacers After Loss To South Africa In First Test | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has highlighted the lack of planning while bowling to the South African batters in the first Test in Centurion last week. The Proteas defeated India by an innings and 32 runs in the first Test at the SuperSport Park, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Barring Jasprit Bumrah, who bagged four wickets in South Africa's first innings, the Indian pacers struggled against the Proteas, with Dean Elgar smashing 185.While analysing the match, Irfan said that India did not understand when to attack and when to defend against the South African batters."India did not have any sharpness in their bowling. The Indian bowling unit did not get the balance of attack vs defence right. When Elgar got set, even then India continued their attacking bowling ...

[ad_1] The Indian cricket team suffered an embarrassing innings and 32-run loss to South Africa in the first Test match in Centurion. The Proteas put an all-round performance to outwit India within three days and took a 1-0 unassailable lead in the two-match series. While all the batters, barring Virat Kohli, flopped in India's second innings, the bowlers too failed to impress in their only chance as South Africa were not needed to bat for a second time in the game. In their only innings, the hosts scored 408 despite Jasprit Bumrah's four-wicket haul.After India's loss to South Africa, former Pakistan batter Salman Butt said that India should have given a chance to Arshdeep Singh instead of going with Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna.Mohammed Siraj was decent with the ball in the game ...

“Poor Kid Isn’t Ready For Test Cricket”: Ex-India Pacer’s No-Nonsense Take On Prasidh Krishna | Cricket News

[ad_1] India pacer Prasidh Krishna had a torrid outing in the first Test against South Africa earlier this year. In the absence of Mohammed Shami, Krishna made his Test debut at the SuperSport Park in Centurion as India lost the match by an innings and 32 runs against the Proteas. The 27-year-old conceded 90 runs in 20 overs and picked up just one wicket. Following India's defeat, several current and former players criticised Krishna for his wayward line and length in the match.However, a former India pacer has claimed that Krishna doesn't have the skills to play Test cricket."Poor Prasidh...The kid isn't ready for Test cricket. He doesn't have skills to bowl second and third spells yet. They went with him based on his ability to hit the deck. But they forgot when has he last played a pr...

“Wasn’t One Of Rohit Sharma’s Best Days…”: Ex-India Star On ‘Blunder’ In South Africa Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar was not happy with Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. India slumped to a heavy loss against South Africa within three days and it means that India's quest of winning a Test series in South Africa remained unsuccessful once again. Manjrekar pointed out Rohit's decision to use Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna straight after lunch on Day 3 as a 'blunder' and said that it was not 'one of Rohit's best days"."I think there was a certain amount of underestimation of the South African batting after India got 245. But yes, it wasn't one of Rohit Sharma's best days or Test matches as captain. That was a blunder (starting with Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna after Lunch). These are the moments ...

‘Definitely Lack Of Skill’: RCB Star’s Blunt Take On India’s Loss To South Africa In 1st Test | Cricket News

[ad_1] Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has blamed the "lack of skill" for India's crushing defeat to South Africa in the first Test earlier this week.

India scored just 245 runs in the first innings, while also allowing South Africa to post 408. After conceding a lead of 163 runs, India were bowled out for 131 in their second innings, thus crashing to an innings defeat.While analysing the match, Karthik blamed India's middle-order batting, as well as medium pacers Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna, as the main reasons behind the defeat."I don't think it's about not being ready in red ball cricket. But I'll definitely put it down to lack of skill. T...

“Indian Team Really Misses Him”: Dinesh Karthik On “Lieutenant To Jasprit Bumrah” Post 1st Test Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Dinesh KarthikVeteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels India pacer Mohammed Shami's injury has proved to be a huge setback for the team in the ongoing first Test against South Africa in Centurion. Dean Elgar led South Africa's charge after India were bowled out for 245 in the first innings. Elgar scored 185 as the Indian pacers struggled to pick wickets at regular intervals, allowing South Africa to take a sizeable lead in the first innings. Shami was ruled out of the two-match series due to an ankle injury."The man has grown in stature as a bowler and as a leader of the pack. He is an able lieutenant to Jasprit Bumrah.

Prasidh Krishna’s Performance Hints At Bare Bench Strength | Cricket News

[ad_1] A few weeks ago, India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey in an interview to PTI was very clear that no coach can claim credit to have created a pacer of Mohammed Shami's calibre. On the second and third day of the first Test against South Africa when Dean Elgar, David Bedingham and Marco Jansen were making a mockery of Shardul Thakur and debutant Prasidh Krishna, Shami's absence was felt like never before.It could be said with a degree of certainty that Prasidh might have played his first and last Test for some time and in the next game Ravindra Jadeja and Avesh Khan would walk into the playing XI in place of him and Shardul Thakur.The Indian fans got a reality check that the country's second line of red ball bowlers aren't exactly finished products and the days of dominance due to J...
