Khota Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Playing T20 requires better timing and hand eye coordination than a slow test match. There is no glory in playing 30 dot balls before scoring a single. Link to comment

I have an opinion and I express it without being abusive unlike others. Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Both get 50 now. Flopped in one innings and did okayish so far in this innings. Link to comment
Pollack Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Like I discussed, Dhawan has been picked because he is in tremendous form. Dhawan is that kind of batsman who will score sound technique or not when he is in form. And it's not like every innings or session ball is going to move around. He will make merry when it's slightly easier and somehow survive when it's difficult. Overall it was good thinking by Kohli. Had Vijay been playing he would have scored 40 from 116 whereas Dhawan scored double from same and SR was important since it was 4th day already and conditions eased out much. Link to comment

Some people on this forum have clearly no in depth understanding of the game. They take cheap shots at others. Dhawan is good and they dont get it. Link to comment

Mind you so does our selectors coach and Captain . Dhawan is a great odi bat ,one of our best openers ever but in test cricket ,a home track bully .He will score well in our flat wickets but doesn't have the technique to survive overseas . And he has replaced Vijay who was outstanding for us in our last away series in tough conditions.He was arguably our best best overseas tours despite being opener.Even when he wouldnt score he will see of the new ball and protect the middle order like he did in Lords ,which the stats won't show , but is invaluable to the team. And incidentally we have two years of overseas tours coming up. I am really disappointed by in depth understanding of many on this forum. Dhawan is rock solid and he has temprament issues. Dont listen to the experts but watch the tape yourself and dont write dhawan off. I have mentioned Dhawan not because I am from Delhi and I have a bias I have been a supporer of Rahul, Vijay and Karthick too. Get th isregional crap out of your head. I am the biggest critic of kohli the captain and this man is from my community. Look at the full body of work. Not all of you have regional biases but some do. Kindly quit verbally abusing oters.

I may not understand cricket but my yield is better than some others. Under bad conditions he outperformed other 4 batsman. I do know his record in other countries. I think Vijay is a capable player but if I am the coach I will have Rohit and Rahane over him. Vijay strong point is his determination, his skill set is very limited. Appreciate your response but we do honestly disagree. To your credit you do not resort to cheap name calling as some others do. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I think they showed a stat in which he averaged 76 in 2017. No chance someone with that recent record / form is going to be dropped. Cricketics 1 Link to comment

The stats showing Dhawan doing well against SL is called cherry picking to show him in bad light. Some bastards have an agenda to not to take him to SA and that is all. They have hate for this man in heart. I think the openers shuld be Rahul/Dhawan/Rohit/Rahane. They can stuff their stats. Link to comment
Lannister Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 @Austin 3:!6 must be really disappointed with Rahul's performance today. He didn't give him the chance to take cheap shots at Karnataka players. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Screw India, let Vijay Rahul be released to Ranji teams, let Kohli play Rohit and Dhawan Link to comment

I have seen you criticize Rahul just because he couldn't convert 50s into 100s, while keeping silent when Dhoni muck it up all the time. Link to comment

Wrong Dhawan is not rock solid when it comes to test cricket.......with him on the crease specially against quality bowling with helpful pitches Infact he has a gr8 temperament that makes him do well in world tournaments and keep coming back time n again There are technical issues with him which dnt get exposed in Patta era of ODI but test matches he ll be tested left right centre Please go check SA last tour video if u find it Link to comment

I have seen enough videoes of him to know that he belongs in the team. He can see and time the ball with the best. Link to comment
