fineleg Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 dsr - its kinda crazy to say VK is a ATG test batsman already. He is not, so wake up.

On tough pitches overseas, I'd rate Rahane and vijay higher than kohli. Well Kohli did much better than Vijay even in NZ and SA, didn't he? So it's not just Australia. On tough pitches, I wouldn't disagree that much, but those would constitute less than 20% of the games overseas.

I seem to recall threads in ICF stating that SRT > Bradman, Sir Aggy > Akram, etc. Gollum 1

sandeep Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Pujara. Gujju boy is hopefully going to get his due once he drops a few typically Pujara-esque daddy hundreds on tour. Tattieboy and Jimmy Cliff 1 1

Gujju boy is hopefully going to get his due once he drops a few typically Pujara-esque daddy hundreds on tour. If he doesn't find a way to score off the pacers, he runs the risk of getting bogged down and falling to a good ball at some point.

Sure, this is a known issue. But I expect him to overcome it a handful of times at least. The other issue is that we have usually lost wickets far too quickly at the other end for Pujara to cash in. He needs someone to stay with him for a long period, i.e. get a couple of partnerships going.
King Tendulkar Posted December 19, 2017 Author Posted December 19, 2017 Big issue with pujara is very low hands so extra bounce can get him plus gets bogged down but in many overseas tests I thought looked good if slightly bogged down . Then suddenly got out . I feel will do ok this time
