And now hangs out his bat - reminds me a lot of Dravid at times. Is able to bat time but then a ball will come along and do him in

true ,anyways not only about pujara ,we will achieve in this series if we just dead bat everything without intention of scoring

Which MC said it?  Is he/ she mad?

 

Edit- 2 posts above me it says Manju.  That explains a lot.

Wish the rest of the top order also took their sweet ass time like pujara did at the crease. Maybe then we would still be batting right now.

must have been sanju

With pujara overseas . He stays in well defensively.

 

but lacks scoring options . And so gets massively bogged down . In India teams quickly for obvious reasons bowl spin and lots of it , pujara master v spin 

 

overseas it’s seamers more seamers . He has no real bread and butter shot to keep runs ticking apart from flick of legs . No drives , square cut for example . Needs to be slightly more positive with maybe playing square cut sometimes which he is decent at but overseas does not seem to play

he reminds me of the older version of dravid (first 3-4 yrs of his career) which most have forgotten by now.

he does tend to struggle finding gaps overseas, but today that argument does not hold any credence. which idiot would berate pujara when the "full -on swagger chaaps" like kohli, dhawan, rohit all managed to collectively score less than pandya, a newcomer to these conditions? he was practically trying to save india from a bloodbath single handedly, which is commendable.

the three swags scored 32 off 85 balls. chepu scored 26 off 92. scored almost as many runs and played more balls.

Yes Dravid v Aussies in particular went in to shell . He learnt to bat overseas with same positivity he would in India 

 

pujar also needs to be more positive . Not crazy but at least be at 90% positivity of how he is india 

 

but all bats were a little bit have a look . As first game overseas for so long can understand the circumspection . Think pandya knock will give many confidence and bat better now 

 

funny enough best body language and approach was Dhawan who looked good and adopted same positive mind set he does in India

I don't think his approach was the right one at all. just loosely slashing and throwing his bat at anything is something shami can do. not someone who is allegedly a test "opener". gabbar needs to learn that these are not low, slow home tracks and he is not facing perera or unadcutter.

[maniac]

There was no reason to criticize him for today but yes that has been a problem with Pujara in all his overseas trips....the reason why Vijay who is similar to him in a lot of ways has had more success is Vijay plays % cricket a lot better.

 

It is the right observation but wrong timing

Look on icf there it’s lots of silly pidgeon joking and agendas and name calling 

 

Dhawan should not be in team but Raul . Saying that Dhawan has been in very good form . Yesterday he did look good , not slashing and throwing his bat . But proper cricket shots with positive intent . Dismissal was poor shot selection agree but up to then looked good . On purely how looked at crease was second best after pandya

That idiot used to dance down the wicket to the spinner then defend and he talks about intent.

so, if he looks good and scores 4(2) and gets out, it's better than someone who looks uncomfortable and scratches around for a 30 or 40. in the end, runs are all that matter not how someone gets them. dhawan's avg outside SC, apart from NZ, reveals his true abilities. since you think its a 1-off innings, let's see how he does over the enitre tour. maybe he will give lots more flashy 10s.

pujara is not at fault here. Every batsman needs to share the blame here starting with captain.

No one is saying he is to blame . Just giving some thoughts on his batting
