Trichromatic Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Early in career, at prime or whatever be the case, he can't keep his bat away from those nothing shots on outswingers.
vvvslaxman Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 He is one of the least assured when the ball is in the corridor of uncertainty. It is a common knowledge on most of the pitches in the world let alone SA pitches you can leave Morkel on length. He does not know how to leave the ball. That is his problem.
Forever Indian Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 He needs to go back to the method he deployed in last SA tour, which was to leave lots of balls outside off. Otherwise a repeat of last Eng tour will happen.
Shunya Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Sometimes I feel he has similar weakness to Ponting. 4th and 5th stump line - he does not know what to do with - whether to defend it, leave it, or look for runs. He gets stuck in his mind there and end up nicking.
Laaloo Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 What was he trying to do? We only had 3-4 overs left to see out. Just let everything go on off stump And he was taking risky singles with pujara of all people bowl_out and speedheat 1 1
speedheat Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I think he struggles when the ball is seaming around

What I saw of this dismissal, it was hardly the corridor of uncertainty, ie one or even one and a half stumps outside off. The ball he got out to looked way outside off, so he may have an even bigger problem.
Laaloo Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 He was scoring runs for fun in the Lanka series so he thought he could do the same here

He is used to feeling every ball there, Slicing, tapping, guiding through the area where normally you don't find fielders. He has to detach that mode.
Gollum Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Kohli is lucky he never had to face Mcgrath, he wouldn't have lasted 10 balls 99/100 times. NameGoesHere, maniac, sergio04 and 5 others 1 7
CG Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Kohli is lucky he never had to face Mcgrath, he wouldn't have lasted 10 balls 99/100 times.True
maniac Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Kohli is right now 2nd to smith and a notch above Root and Williamson but if he keeps failing in these conditions,he will be below those 2 as well who are good in seaming conditions and also have stellar records on the subcontinent....Root’s ability to convert his 50s might put him a little behind but you get the drift.

SK_IH Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 eerily similar to how he got out to morkel 7 years ago in sa odi series ,i think it was centurion

Smith vs this SA attack in March will be a feast for all cricket lovers. I won't be surprised if the Aussie captain single handedly takes on these 5 and emerges triumphant. sergio04 and maniac 2

gattaca Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 The kohli mode of dismissal is worrying almost similar to the way he got out to Anderson in 2014. He could have easily left it alone.
Deleted_User_1 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Unless he corrects it in a hurry, be prepared to see this mode of dismissal through the end of summer!!
