Oh wait you won't claim credit for predicting his success through some weirdass backtacking and digging up old threads, well that's a relief.

I thought he was find of the decade in limited overs but thought he won’t cut it in tests...so acumen was only partly...I won’t call it wrong because it was just a minor glitch...happens :)

 I believe I am m in the 1 percentile of people

with high  Cricket acumen...I never  claimed I was god.

 

I accept when I am wrong without any ego...anyway on Pandya was only partly wrong about his test credentials,I already have a thread saying he has reached the big leagues in Odis

 

btw did mods merge my Munro thread...I was looking to bump it the other day when he became the first guy to hit 3 100s in T20s

He certainly brings an X factor which can work with SA. Generally they don’t have a plan B. If disrupted they can panic. I always felt india is better off attacking or even going aerial than defending. 

 

Pandya has proven me wrong too. His free spirit is great to see. But he can expect some short bowling from hereon.

The only time he looked unsure against short bowling was towards the end when trying to slog everything,otherwise don’t think he is that bad against short pitch stuff.

I've always touted him for test cricket, both as a batsmen and as a bowler. His natural length suited to tests. Ambrose/McGrath would have been proud of his wicket to Elgar. He also has a reasonable defensive technique and is tall (rare advantage for Indian batsmen). Most importantly of all he has guts and relishes the challenge (not scared of facing quick bowling). At times today he made Morne Morkel look like Vinay Kumar. He batted well on a fast track during an Aus A tour..so he's kind of done it before.

Received lots of short pitched stuff and did well most of the time.

 

Most importantly, has  guts. 

 

Saw him handle short bowling and seam movement rather well on an A tour to Australia in 2016, where he scored 78 in a similar situation.

 

Pulled and hooked Kumara bowling 90 mph for a few 6s in SL too.

And he can play the ramp shot against short balls. That's always a plus.

He has fantastic competitive attitude . Which like in all sports can over come technical deficiencies 

 

3 way player . X factor with bat , ball and fielding . What more do you moaning gits want ffs lol

[gattaca]

He batted really well on a tough A tour of Australia as well scored 80 odd.

Yes, but can still work on improving the technique, and technical batting skills. Will help in the long run.

[surajmal]

He has fight in him... a very unindian characteristic. I still don't trust his skills though. And he seems like someone that is looking to get mixed up with the bollywood chutiyapa.

Lot of premature ejaculations are going on. Slow down.
