India A trailing by 250, Prithvi Shaw comes and hits 188 off 169 (Next Viru??).

Has shown his class at U-19, First Class, IPL and now at India A.

Rohit Sharma(in ODIs) and Shikhar Dhawan, Pujara(in Tests) can't be complacent about their places now.

One season wonders generally don't do well on A tours.

like Sehwag, bomb when pitch is flat like this game, spicy pitch 0, flat pitch 100.

[kosingh]

Whenever I have seen him play, I have not been all that impressed. But he keeps putting up the numbers. We'll see, I suppose.

If he turns out to be anything like Sehwag, we'll all take that. But I don't see that happening.

There are many other players who are ready as well but the present regime is too formulaic,short sighted and in general has proclivity for TTFs

were you impressed by Sehwag? Shaw's batting style is very much like Sehwag.

It's one thing to have a similar batting style, but to convert that into the career Sehwag had takes a lot more. The cool ability to not be fazed by much, for example. If Shaw plays 100+ tests averaging around 50, I'd be thrilled.

Lets not get too hasty now, we need to follow the process, which is to wait until Rohit retires by choice.

Dude's 18, you expect him to practice at center court of Wimbledon to build his swing and seam game ?

 

And if that isn't enough, you figured Sehwag deserves a FTB tag ? 

 

What else, Lara was a minnow basher and Rhodes an average fielder ?

Sehwag was an FTB or STB.  Is there a doubt about it?

So you are saying that his centuries in England or Australia or even during the 2002 tour of Newzealand was a fluke or scored on flat tracks? You don’t rate Sehwag then?

I don't think Sehwag, his abilities and contributions needs any debate. 

 

A younger me would have dished out proper expletives here

Who cares.   I and many other people enjoyed his batting more than many   " good " batsmen "    : )

 

If Shaw can become even 80% of what Sehwag was, most fans would have a gala time.
