Ponting’s last-minute ‘Bad Khabar’ was exposed as PBKS for Stoinis “Maxwell Act ridiculed:” They are a terrible number “
In one step, in which experts “shocked,” Punjab Kings prepared Marcus Stoinis for a match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Chandigarh and continued Glenn Maxwell back despite their short return with the bat this season. While experts feared an injury for Stoinis behind the PBKS step, a scene at the beginning of the match explained the reason for this.
Talking to Cricbuzz, former KKR team director Joy Bhattacharjya said, “He found the wrong man.” Simon Doll, who was part of the same panel, was initially scared of Stoinis, but it was the only speculation because Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer did not reveal his play XI in the toss, saying that he had forgotten the changes.
“Is he injured? Was Shreyas Iyer said anything about Stoinus being injured? If he is not injured, it’s amazing. What he found in the rear end in the previous game, Stoinis? He broke something 30, was he at the back end?”
However, Doll further estimated that Punjab’s move may be down to Kolkata’s batting line-up, with four left-handed, against which his right-hand off-spin bowling variety could give a strategic lead.
“As long as they are not thinking, I mean how many leftists are there in the Kolkata lineup? Maxwell de Coke can play a role with Narin, Venkatesh Iyer in the middle order and Rinku on 6 or 7. Maybe they think Maxwell has to play a role.
However, Dole said it was a bad step when Maxwell scored just 105 runs in six innings this season.
He said, “I did not think it was bad. But you know, they are terrible numbers. And a very interesting to keep it purely as a bowling option in the team,” he said.
Ponting’s chat with Stoinis
As speculation around the move continued, broadcasters showed a pre-game visual, which was shown with Stoinis, the in-depth chat of Punjab head coach Ricky Ponting, which was all practiced by his batting. Stoinis looked disappointed at the end of the chat, before he was dug back.
Former Zimbabwe Cricketer Pomi Mabangwa, who was in the commentary box, said: “He must have deliberately considered the team. It seems that this decision was taken to the ground here. Stoinis has his gloves and bats. He is just getting bad news. It is difficult to leave anyone.” It is difficult. ,
