@Naadansoul Another thing was maybe sanju tinkering a bit with his stance in today's game (maybe I'm wrong) , but he couldn't get the technique right for that wicket ball by Avesh . Again Sanju is looking really unreliable to watch. Will he bounce back ? Maharshtra also have players.
@kuzhi__madiyan But toss decisions are sometimes decided made before the match starts with the coach also right? Early wickets for batters and dropped catches sealed the loss for kerala .
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani But ur entitled to call out of the small sample size which is valid and I'm entitled to keep my opinion that international performances is a better metric over domestic eveb with small size.Especially when he scored in tough conditions and didn't play much in flat pitches.
Bye.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Like you said, let's agree too disagree as we both have our own perspective on the data. I value those small sample size international knocks in tough conditions as a much superior indicator of Samson in ODI and i think it's too early to call him a flat track bully in ODI.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani That's not enough excuse to say he's a flat track bully in ODI as the quality of the INT data is also important.
His Domestic stats are skewed due being pushed down the order or not stat padding due to aggressor role . His T20 and IPL shouldn't be considered for ODI.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani But ur criticism is valid on consistency. Calling him a flat track bully in ODI is too early unless he get more game time in ODI internationals . His current ODI international performances show his potential even if sample size is small .
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Sample size is small but the quality of that data is much different as he has played and proven himself in grounds like Paarl or Spin friendly pitch in Lucknow.
First of all T20 , IPL data aren't for ODIs . Also List A , FC is nowhere near what he faced internationally.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Also the starting 4 years of his career was at the lower order which also tanked his avg . But the biggest reason is that he's not stat padding too much and is used as an aggressor. Also his list A stats aren't inflated due to not outs as his role was of an aggressor mostly.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani But ODI international performances are at a different level when ur comes to judging a player. It's easier to stat pad in list A. Samson isn't some who stat pads that much . But he should start stat padding if he ever wants to return to ODI.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani T20 based observations are a bit inaccurate when trying to judge ODI . List A performances are decent matric , But still nothing beats the insights from international performances which are worth it's weight in gold . He has proven himself in tough conditions.
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Your argument regarding no spots in ODI is valid . I'm not saying he should play but calling him a flat track bully is a stretch even if he's struggling currently. People who watched his knocks know his potential. But he has issues with consistency and technique currently
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani International ODI performances are a much more valuable matric than List A. For list A, sanju plays as an aggressor role many times which can also result in hurting his average. He's not stat padding there as that's not his role.
He has proved himself against the top guys .
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Our discussion was regarding Samson in ODI's not in T20 format. But i agree that Samson is inconsistent in T20 and he does not have a good record outside India except maybe 2 100s in south africa. But that's also surrounded by 0s showing his inconsistentcy. Only defence is impact
@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani First of all , his stats as an "opener" in t20i is 31.31 avg and 176.77 sr which is not bad, but definitely inconsistent in T2O . But that's not the case in ODI as it's completely different as there's no need to take that much risk . That's why Samson has a good average in ODI.
