Agarwal Vs Shaw

[Sooda]

What do you keen observers make of the Shaw selection for the remaining tests ahead of Agarwal.

 

And more to the point, who is the better batsman and test prospect- him or Agarwal?

[SK_IH]

Both are unproven in so far as Test Cricket is concerned,however Mayank gives you that Dinesh Karthik feeling (if you know what I mean).So,am happy with Shaw getting the preference.

However Mayank may also get his chances soon.

[Ankit_sharma03]

I dnt rate Mayank highly, just doesnt convince me

 

[BlueBee]

Shaw for Vijay is a good but I think Mayank too deserves a chance in place of Dhawan. 3K runs in a season is no joke, he convinces you or not is a different thing but he's made a case for himself and a very very strong one that is.

i agree personal opinions aside the guy has made a huge case for himself and he shud atleast get a chance 

If dhawan fails remaining 2 games, mayank shud get in WI test series

I agree with you. 

Do kinda feel for Mayank, but whenever I've seen him, not been too impressed.

 

Is your pic from yday's press conference? RS looked like he'd been drinking the whole match

I honestly feel its too late for Agarwal , I would go with Shaw though little unfair 

[youngindia]

Its a wrong comparison for the simple reason that Shaw will get a special treatment that 99.8% of others don't.

 

Exceptional talents will leapfrog everyone. Only when was the question.

 

Shaw is undoubtedly the better prospect . Mayank has worked and refined his game better through

several seasons of trial and error. 

 

Mayank and Vihari have to perform consistently to get their chance.

 

Players of Exceptional promise will be fast tracked and can bull doze their way to a slot. For others, getting that slot in the indian team may require several years of consistency and a chance of luck with a vacancy.

It's precisely that trait that for me would make him a better option for now. Older, knows his game better? Shaw possibly too young and needs a season or two more in FC.

[Sandeep99]

Mayank should be picked for shorter formats... he somehow gives me Dhawan vibes... And yes, Shaw should replace Dhawan at Southampton

[Lannister]

If they had selected Siraj along with Shaw then I wouldn't have a problem with this. But it seems like Shaw has been pushed into the team because of a strong backing from Mumbai lobby, while the others are left with having to prove themselves more. Mayank Agarwal was hard done by the petty politics.

It is precisely for this reason that he deserves a chance.. may be a run of 3 ODIs atleast

Shaw is a special talent , If mumbai lobby was the reason iyer wud have gone for nair or vihari

Here on ICF many doubt mayank, m sure in cricketing circle many do to..........jst becoz u hve piled on runs in domestic doesnt gurantee u success at international level

 

N a word is taken from dravid to before selecting someone- panyda n jayant got a strong backing from dravid 

[Roshanrocks]

I vote for Prithvi Shaw . He has played a lot in English conditions and should do better than Mayank if given an opportunity.

Iyer was also fast-tracked ahead of players like Pandey and Rahul and he just couldn't secure his place. Everyone knew he would've a hard time adjusting based on his technique and he still got his chance ahead of a well deserving players. 

 

Mayank was next-in-line with a top-performance in the last three seasons, atleast you need to award that performance otherwise there is no point in playing Ranjis. Players will eventually lose respect with the system and they will just focus on the IPL.

Their is no fixed line, going by the line rishi dhawan was ahead of pandya

Their is no fixed rule, neither their shud be 

U find a special talent pick him, u find a better talent ...to hell with the line

Mayank Agarwal toured for Ind A to England. He scored 69 runs @ avg of 17.25 
Shaw scored 250 runs @ avg of 62.50.

Therein lies the answer.

 

We are looking for test batsmen who can handle the moving ball.

 

Shaw has done that better than most others.
