Karan RaoHOST
The forecast is clear, with temperatures in the high 20s, so the pitch will be bone dry and rock hard.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Despite the bowlers getting hammered recently, reports indicate India will likely stick with the same lineup, though there are whispers of swapping Shivam Dube out for Nitish Reddy to try and find a spark.
Karan RaoHOST
Yeah.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
The West Indies are expected to remain unchanged, and a great statistical subplot to watch.
Saurabh SanyalGUEST
So somewhere you are doing something wrong because they didn't have batsmen.
Saurabh SanyalGUEST
And this same condition, if you go to the third ODI and look at the second T20, then they don't have batsmen, they have more bowlers.
Saurabh SanyalGUEST
Despite that, if you look overall, then From India's perspective, if I talk about impactful, then India, the way he is playing Namandhir as an all-rounder, Shivam Dubey, I won't say much about Dubey because Dubey is such a player, I mean, he plays well in clutch matches, so I won't comment on him, but he is a very ordinary fielder, he is a better fielder than ordinary.
Saurabh SanyalGUEST
It becomes
AjitHOST
difficult for him to bend in long.
Nadir SyedHOST
The conditions at Nagoya, or I think this, this, uh, ground is called Nishin, I believe, um, it's been more spinner friendly than pacer friendly, and that reflects in the playing 11 that India also played.
Nadir SyedHOST
They only had one specialist pacer in Bumrah, and then they had overs by Shivam Dube, who is a batting all-rounder.
Bashar SaeedHOST
Yeah.
Nadir SyedHOST
Um, I think Pakistan missed the mark here by going super-duper spin heavy.
Geoff LemonHOST
Wasn't this...
Geoff LemonHOST
Was it Du- was it Shivam Dube who was, whose dad forbid him to play cricket and then kept, um, noticing things in the paper and saying, "It's really weird.
Geoff LemonHOST
This guy with the same name as you keeps making all these runs on the..." [both laughing] Uh, it was one of, one of the current-
Adam CollinsHOST
Well-
TaranHOST
So with Shreyas Iyer and then Ishan Kishan at 5, you had Akshar Patel at 6.
TaranHOST
They played Tilak Verma at 7 and Shivam Dubey at 8.
TaranHOST
So India went batting heavy and bowler light.
TaranHOST
And then Washi came in at 9.
TaranHOST
And now you rely on having four specialist bowlers rather than five and hoping that that's good enough to make inroads.
TaranHOST
You obviously have Bumrah, who qualifies as two bowlers, if you will, right? He becomes even more precious on wickets that offer something.
TaranHOST
And then you hope that you can get four overs out of part-timers in Shivam Dubey, Tilak Verma, and Abhishek Sharma, right? And again, on pitches that offer something, you probably can get away with that.
TaranHOST
So I actually, if that is the thinking, I like it.
Dustin SilgardoHOST
Which is actually really difficult.
Dustin SilgardoHOST
Because the way you construct an international side now is actually completely different to the way an IPL side is constructed.
Dustin SilgardoHOST
So for example, they've shown so much faith in players like Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar.
Dustin SilgardoHOST
Because they've had to understand that, okay, these guys may not be as valuable in IPL because with impact player, Dubé doesn't bowl in the IPL.
Dustin SilgardoHOST
Washington sometimes doesn't even get into the IPL team.
TaranHOST
He used to be in the 120s.
TaranHOST
That's where Shivam Dube is.
TaranHOST
And I think Shivam Dube is cannon fodder on these pitches.
TaranHOST
Like, there's...
TaranHOST
he is a good bowler on pitches that offer a little bit where he can throw his cutters in there and they stick in the wicket, right? And he has that little bit of change of pace.
