the don Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Probably the third time i have watched him bat and every single time i have seen him play a slog a ball for barely a 100 strike rate. Very un-indian batsman in that he is certainly not easy on the eyes and just makes hitting look difficult as opposed to effortless. Just my opinion. Thoughts ?

Number Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Loses shape while playing midwicket hoicks agree. Rest of the shots are proper. Dhoni looked ugly too but he was effective. Edited June 30, 2019 by Number Link to comment
Vijy Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (A) He is young and especially inexperienced in ODIs, and (B) He is a better Test player because he does not try and slog every single ball. When Pant is batting sensibly, he is actually a very competent bat. In Aus, he was the second highest run scorer and looked fairly comfortable against good bowlers & pitches. The main issue in T20s and ODIs is that he tries to slog often, loses his shape and plays false shots. Also plays too many dot balls at this stage of his career, which is a big issue in ODIs and T20s. If he can fix these issues, he can become a very good LOI player for us. If not, I still think he will be a top player for us in Tests. MK55 and Mosher 2 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 you guys realize this now,he has been playing this way since U-19 days.In test matches he can survive because he can actually pick the balls to hit but in ODIs you have to hit even good balls when the asking rate is high. Link to comment

ganeshran Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Was very disappointed but it was his first match and he had to slog from the get go. Deserves a few more matches but on first look he doesn't seem good enough to play as a pure batsman Link to comment
gooner Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 When he was there with pandya. We had genuine chance. He has the X factor and English players were visibly nervous. That's the intent. He will develop his game. We need players like him to win. Iam backing him fully knowing he has deficiencies. Just like Raina was a wonderful player for us selfless and went after bowling. We need his replacement. I think pant will be able to do that. ViruDilSeKhelo, zen, sandsaims and 6 others 1 2 6 Link to comment

I think, at the same age and experience, raina was a better ODI bat and pant is a better Test bat. however, pant is young and hopefully he can address some of his issues and become a better LOI player. gooner 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Gollum Posted June 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2019 An Indian batsman with 2 test 100s in SENA before the age of 21 !!!! Never use the word hackish to describe such a player. tweaker, ravishingravi, raki05 and 13 others 4 1 11 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 He is surely great talent, but at the moment looks extremely hackish.. I'd still give him benefit of doubt.. He can be the X-factor down the order.. There is a bigger hack in the team - Jadhav.. move Pant to 6.. Get DK at 4 Link to comment

sage Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 At least he tried to win which puts him automatically above two of our batsmen nevada, sandsaims, raki05 and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Whatever the bowler delivers, he'll move across, put the head down and look to hit the ball over his shoulder. It's quite ridiculous and not even necessary. He had time to get in, yeh the run rate was high, but if he's such a great hitter, he'd have managed it cowboysfan 1 Link to comment

Tendulkar1996 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Today he came in at 9-10 an over needed .Looked ugly,but was still better than shankar.As long as pant was there we had hope,england was afraid.If shankar has to return it must be in place of kedar. Link to comment
