nevada Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Pant should be persisted with for a dozen matches or so. That should be enough to surface all/most of his weaknesses and have the batting coach help him to correct them. Mosher 1 Link to comment
putrevus Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Now we are blaming TM for giving the guy an opportunity.Give him sometime, there is no rush to find no4, let Pant and Iyer be at no4 and no5. Link to comment
Shaz1 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 He is still young. Let him grow. Link to comment

Pant should play 5 or 6.. even 7 depending on the situation. Dont see any major technical flaws in him. He may not be technically very sound but i dnt see technical issues. He is good enough to bat at 4....the only reason i feel he shudnt bat at 4 coz we have most talent in batting who cud bat in top 4 but very few who cud bat in 5-7.... Like even dhoni cud have batted in top 4 but very few at that time also cud bat in lower order. Hardik also deserves a promotion but lack of good option in lower middle order will also be an obstacle . His problem are like of any highly talented youngster who has a huge array of shots- shot selection is the issue which will only improve with time. Guys like rohit n yuvraj had same issue coz they had so many option. His strike rotation will also improve with time. Mosher 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 he is too good a test player to get gradually regressed both in confidence & performance because of getting badly managed. The best way to use him effectively is to make him open the inns in ODI. With field restrictions upfront , he can at the least give these 30 ball 40 cameos.Additional runs from him should be a bonus. This way, he can take the resulting confidence into tests too.Thus the whole team can benefit. Dhawan is almost 34. With Pant being randomly used along with Dhawan, that would be a natural progression.By the time Dhawan gets to 37, Pant still at 24 would be a more polished batsman who can play at high level for at least 12years moving forward . But whether the dumb ass management would allow him ?? That is the big question. Link to comment
asterix Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Pant is a brainless cricketer... Don’t know why he’s rated so high... Laaloo 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 He is not a no.4. This was a time he had to get set and gradually push on the rate. Not throw the bat around willy nilly. Link to comment

Not throw the bat around willy nilly. Any casual observer can tell you that Pant will never be a no.4 batter yet for some reason the braindead management persist in playing him there. Will likely make him lose confidence and and in turn will lose his place in the team. bahubali 1 Link to comment

Vijy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 pant should open in ODIs (as I've said in other posts). or he should not be anywhere above 6-7. he is not a middle order strike rotator. he is someone who likes the aerial route, who likes few fielders outside circle, and who needs time to play himself in and then explode. coming in middle order, he seems to have the impulse to either go for rash strokes or block too much.

rtmohanlal Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 should either open or get out of the ODI team. Other wise spoil him by making a slogger at: 7 there by affecting his performances in tests too. Vijy 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Need to give Pant a very long rope. He needs to be given lots of opportunities to develop his game. Because his ceiling can be very high and he can be an awesome match-winner if he is able to sort out his 50-over middle order game. nevada, Mosher, Ankit_sharma03 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Hakuna Matata Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Though his aggressiveness suits opening his shot selection may result in disaster for India. He is been playing the same way since u19 worldcup he was an opener then and thrown his wicket away and got out to a single digit score in U19 WC FINAL. And he did the same in WC SEMI FINAL. Still he didn't change his game. Failing is not wrong but failing in the same way every time by not correcting your mistakes is definitely wrong. Link to comment

At this stage the long rope will lead to him ending his own career. Needs to be moved down the order. Not a #4 bat, naive to think otherwise. There is plenty of batting talent in India and we have Pant being pushed to bat at 4 Edited August 15, 2019 by Sachinism Link to comment
