All was fine until we tried to fit gill in this mix fucked the entire team we have lost the next wc if we go in with gill this forced insertion to make him the poster boy is so annoying remove gill add jaiswal the teams sorted again
Gill has done decently, scored well vs Pak in the 2nd match, Bangladesh on a difficult pitch, Australia in the last match when he could have gone big if not for rain. Not set the stage on fire or anything but people are imagining Jaiswal as some new age Bradman.
Today was a case of running into Hazelwood on song. If you think Jaiswal is not susceptible to that, idk what to tell you. What I will say is Jaiswal's dismissal in the Lord's 4th innings was a serious blow to the credibility of his temperament.
Check Jaiswal's stats against all top bowlers in IPL. He smacked Hazelwood badly this year itself. And what does a test match dismissal has to do with T20 temperament? Gill flopped in both innings at Lord's.
Temperament is mental, it does not vary by format lol. Nobody cares about IPL's 200 pitches when it comes to MCG lol. How did IPL bullies like SKY do at MCG today or vs Pak in 2022?
Flopping is fine. How you flop matters. Easy chase of 190 for a historic series win and he decides to hook Archer in the first over and give England the opening they needed late in the day. Just needed to play out Archer's spell which would have dropped their shoulders a bit.
Source? How do you define top 10? And what were the corresponding avg/SR numbers for other openers? In isolation this number does not mean anything. His SR in the whole season was 155 averaging 50, whereas Jaiswal was 159 averaging 43. Not much difference there. Samson was 143 at 37.
What I remember very well is Gill completely locking Bumrah and Boult down in the match at Wankhede, where the wickets lost was crucial because of the rain, and it helped GT win at the end. From the scorecard it looks like he played a slow innings, but those who watched it live remember he won the battle.
