Dude they are not going to babysit him. Either you take your chances or there are 10 other people who are ready to take his spot. Obviously seniors(Virat,Rohit,Dhawanand Dhoni)ll be treated differently. They are proven match winners and I agree with whole DK thing. Should never been dropped in first place. 

Sure, agree that players shouldn't be 'babied'.  But when you have a high risk high reward player like Pant, you've got to ask yourself - what's the best position for him to succeed?  Especially if we have a relatively strong batting unit around him.  We could have thrown him at the top of the order, and if he had come off, we  could have had a QdK style berserker at the top.  Asking a player like him to start building innings in the middle order, when he's still inexperienced - is not exactly playing to his strengths.  Either he should have been at the top, or lower down to just hit out.  

 

Its easy to shift the onus on to the individual and say "sink or swim",and there's nothing wrong with that.  But team management should be held to a higher standard.   

 

Now I don't even think Rishabh is a sureshot star in LOI cricket - but this is not the way.  And its not just him.  Team has screwed around with a lot of the "juniors" in the last year or 2.  KLPD, Ambaatli, Manish Pandey.  Murali Vijay and Pujara in tests.

Did you miss the filter that says matches starting from 01-01-2017?

@sandeep I remember a few of your foreboding essay posts about our flawed strategy in the 1st PP, time to bump them as well. This nonsensical strategy of consolidating and holding on till late is another clusterfukc by the team think tank. 

I have been harping on it since before the 2015 WC.  Nobody cares dude,  Virat, Rohit and Dhawan are raking in mega millions in endorsements.  Chalta hai waise hi chalne do.    

 

Even today's game was actually lost in the 1st 15 overs.  Rest was a given, due to the nature of the wicket.

In that case, he avgs 65 vs major teams .... but mainly because of playing vs WI and 4 not outs where SR is low suggesting a manable RR

"High risk reward player" is that the polite way of saying Hack and where would he  fit in ? World's Best opening pair or replacing world's best batsmen at 3 ? He had his chances and he has done nothing yet in LOIs.

Pakistan, New-Zealand are not major teams according to you? :lol: - doesn't mean 0..you can't calculate average based on 1 not out innings :giggle:

The stats includes those teams

He has seen the team home in those games...if you see his average while chasing you'll get a better picture...See if India won in those games...if it did, why does SR matter?

that is what I implied .... that he batted with RR manageable (relatively low scores, bowlers doing a good job) .... relatively low SR implies that the task was relatively easier (manageable RRR due to low totals and/or someone at the top having played with a high SR) :winky:
