Time to blood in Prithvi Shaw

His last IPL match left a sour taste after he dliberately batted poorly, dropped catches and misfielded to somehow try and get bambis through. He needs an attitude and personality fix

Look fan of a team who was banned for fixing, owners jailed for betting and whose captain is a proven accused of perjury talking.

Krishna says: "Gavaskar and Manjrekar are like proud parents gushing over their kids whenever Shaw is batting." - Hmm, no comments.

They should try Prithvi Shaw in No. 4 or No. 5 in ODIs.

Prithvi Shaw marked his Test debut with a rambunctious 56-ball half-century. In the process, he became the youngest Indian to a fifty on debut

On debut 100 for Shaw

INCREDIBLE talent

[express bowling]

1)   What I really like about Shaw is that he has a good back foot game and is a natural cutter of the ball. Can pull the ball too.  Hopefully, he will be good against quick short balls.  We will find out in Australia.

 

2)  He has worked on his trigger movement ... now his back foot is moving back towards the leg-middle stump  and not away from the leg stump on most occasions. ( although it is still hapenning on occasions )

 

3)  His footwork is decisive ...  either clearly back or decisively forward ... and he is playing the ball under his eyes and playing it late.  This is a very good.

 

4)  Very good timer of the ball.  

 

5)  Although he plays at a very high SR ...  he has not slogged the ball.  Just played normal cricketing shots. But some lofted shots and slashes were there.

 

6)  Not sufficient good length channel balls were bowled to test his off-stump game.  This is one area I would like to see how he fares especially if the ball is moving.

 

Yes ... the pitch seems to be flat and only 2 good bowlers in Gabriel and Bishoo ...  but he looks so natural.

 

All the best kid  !

Let's see. Maybe his performance in Tests will convince the selectors to try him in ODIs. 

 

Has the ODI squad been selected for the series against West Indies?

[Sachinism]

It was like the Dhawan debut. Well played young man

Why??? Too early to say but he  looks pretty compact and confident batsman, worth a try at number 4.

Shaw is out and out opener

Very likely that he will not feel comfortable about it

Shubhman Gill is more apt for that position

batting in the middle is very different to opening until you are used to it.  Even Rishabh Pant has struggled in the middle order in list A cricket because he opened the batting most of his junior cricket.  T2o batting in MO is different as you just have to bash the bowlers irrespective of which number you come in bat unless You are a Dhoni who just consolidates whether he bats at 4 or 6 does not matter.

Ofcource gill is ahead but this performance gives a vibe that he could be the num. 4 batsman in odis, bats at healthy strike rate and decent against both pace and spin and rotating strike nerves of a veteran, mentally strong. when we can try mentally fragile batters like Rahul and rahane.why not shaw?

Pant is not exactly a middle order bat he is more of a hitter who could be tried at number 6, though he too is good at rotating strike, odi cricket is all about rotating strike, singles doubles and shaw looks pretty decent in it although I still think its too early to say that but can still try him at num.4.

I think ideally when Rohit,Dhawan decline these two can be tried as our openers in onedayers

Yes Pant and Shaw can be tried as openers for meaningless series like the current one where either Rohit or Dhawan is rested

Many batsmen have adjusted their games for other positions.

 

Shaw plays at a very high SR, looks comfortable against both pacers and  spinners, seems to be good at rotating the strike and is a natural stroke player. Has all the traits needed to be a good middle order ODI batter.

 

Rohit and Dhawan are expected to open in ODIs for the next 4 years atleast.  We should not waste such a talent just because he is an opener.

There is a major dilemma for India in the near future. Dhawan & Rohit are outstanding ODI openers in any conditions. But in Rahul and Shaw you have two outstanding talents that should not be kept out the side. Somebody is going to have to take the plunge and move to the middle order.

Both these guys have recently hit peak, they won't be going anywhere for at least next 3-4 years, talents like prithvi are too good a talent  to be kept out for that long.
