Women's Cricket - @Jeetv27WC

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

I couldn't care about how this series goes for India - England have assembled a much better looking side.

There are too many questions that need to be raised about India's selections.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

I know it's tough to look at any spot as replaceable, but Liam Livingstone in this lineup at 5 could be such a difference maker.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Don't know how many people think of bounce when it comes to the Old Trafford, but this venue actually offers a very good bounce consistently and that will be India's challenge today.

Those back of length deliveries + bouncers from the English pacers will be tough to negotiate.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Arguably, India's most explosive/exciting opening pair ever in T20Is.

Would be a challenge for the duo up top tonight, but the duo can kill games in the PP in the future.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Liam Livingstone - Too good a knock!

That bat swing is incredible. Thought he mishit a couple of them, but were enough to clear the boundary. A costly drop catch by Colin Ackermann when Livingstone was on 36* (16).

Finishes with 85* (31).

[Gloucestershire Cricket @Gloscricket]

What a signing this man has proved to be! 🔥

16 wickets in six Vitality Blast matches for Duan Jansen – the leading wicket taker in the competition.

@BigHitCricket Not a surprise. Quality PP value.

Cal, Trevaskis and Patterson-White often go unnoticed.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Cal Parkinson - A spinner whose T20 PP bowling skills are not talked about enough!

Gets rid of Chris Lynn & Nathan McSweeney in his 2 PP overs.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

@BigHitCricket Nice! So the best spinner in the said phase.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Well done, Northants. Making it a habit to turn games their way from 50-50 situations!

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

@raybird1981 Yeah, I don't want to look too much into it. Even an experienced Sean Abbott got smashed for 0/60 being an overseas pro.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Was concerned about Lumsden's returns at the Oval yesterday and he returned with 0/65 (4).

A good test for him early in his career.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Fans enraged about R. Smaran missing out and that's fair given his returns.

However, I feel more for Yash Rathod.

Ranji 2024: 960 runs | Avg - 53.3
Ranji 2025: 645 runs | Avg - 107.5
Duleep Trophy 2025: 374 runs | Avg - 124.7
Irani Cup 2025: 96 runs | Avg - 48.0

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Similar thoughts. Not a fan of the tactics that I have watched for several teams and the overseas signings are beyond baffling.

Playing XI, batting order and the utilization - everything being below par.

[Dan Weston @SAAdvantage]

Any thoughts on the standard of the Blast this year?

Watched a lot, its tough to be hugely enthused by the quality.

In particular - hampered by lions series, questionable tactics, selection & even overseas players featuring who don’t even get picked to play their domestic comp.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

@Newton_Offl_19 I like that though. Lumsden is a very good talent and I'd say the same for Notts' James Hayes.

They will be expensive in their young careers, but they have the ability to convert 1 early wicket into a 3-4 wicket quota of 4 overs.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

There is no way a team hits 287/1 (20) against Oman. I looked into and realized there are some random 8 Al Balushis featuring for Oman that I have never heard of.

Only 1 familiar name in the XI.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Jordan Cox - The IPL effect😜

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Full blown early assumptions from many people for this post on Emilio Gay.

Even if he fails, at least don't judge someone by watching their batting in the indoor nets. There have been batters with worse techniques who have made it to England's Test squad.

[Cricinfo @cricinfo]

Emilio Gay prepares for his Test debut as England's new opener 👊

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

@CricketOnScreen @JonesVincentt @foreverblackcap Good pick. Offers PP value with the bat + RAO/WK option if required.

[Jeet Vachharajani @Jeetv27]

Bhuvi and Rasikh have held the baton for RCB's pace-bowling.

Jacob Duffy has been expectedly poor after the 1st game & Hazlewood hasn't been any good except in conditions where he has had something going for him.

[Mazakiya ShortLeg @MShortleg]

Rasikh Salam has had a better season than Hazelwood, going purely by stats, strength of RCB & most winning teams, making lesser players just work
