They may not want to waste Bumrah on a low value batter and this can disrupt their bowling plans. All I am saying is, it is worth disrupting their plans. When you attack, the surprise element can be disruptive.

I know West Indies will never do this...Sammy is accountable to West Indies cricket...not DisCourtesy.

@Courtesy

I dnt think there is any possibility of Bumrah NOT opening the bowling an be saved whist a pinch hitter is running riot ....pinch hitter or not wickets peg yuh back!!

@WIfan26

I can never understand worrying about having 7 bowlers in a 120 ball innings. A pro who is targeted on a 4 over spell ought to be able (with Cappo) to adjust strategy ala line, length, field placing, getting out then back into the attack, changing ends...

@CCW

isn't your scenario above not an advantage to us? The Indians will be using Bumrah to dismiss a low value batsman.

@Courtesy

yeah but if the pinch hitter is dismissed say in the 1st or 2nd over it exposes a proper batsmen quicker than ideal an he also could be dismissed then you would be forced to consolidate in the PP instead of launching....ideally we would want to see off Bumrah in the knowledge that he will probably only bowl couple overs up front!

@CCW

Bruh, you are not likely to see many overs of pace. Fast bowling is what our batsmen prefer and you want to see off Bumrah. Do you think India will serve you pyam pyam spinners when you play off Bumrah?

This right there is a losing strategy. I'll take a chance with my pinch hitter. And King can hardly play pace nor spin.

@Courtesy

Ok well we'll see how it goes....btw are you benching King or dropping him down the order, if benching who would you want to replace him?

@CCW

I posted this earlier:

Chase stays Akeal Hosein comes in for King.
