rkt.india Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 1 hour ago, express bowling said: 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. Shaw did nto look comfortable against spin in IPL. he also struggled to rotate the strike and dependent a lot on aerial shots.

I have seen him bat in a quite a few matches ... he did not have any issues against Indian spinners on slow tracks. Trying lofted shots in T20s is something youngsters feel comfortable about. He is just 18 and not a finished product yet ... but we need to find ways to utilize special talents in both tests and ODIs.

wanted_desi Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He should be in ODI set up, flat pitches for World Cup and he can get runs at good SR in Power play. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, WeStMiDz said: 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. Our middle order of rayadu, Karthik, and dhoni are set. There is no space. Shaw will have to wait until these 3 fail in the World Cup. Tough luck but our middle order is the best in the world with great winning mentality.

zen Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I would let the youngster settle in international cricket by playing and focusing on tests first in the Oct '18 to Mar '19 period where we play 7 tests .... he still has a lot of time on his hands .... if he performs well, he would be considered for LOIs once the slots open up (and they will eventually) Edited October 4, 2018 by zen Link to comment
VT87 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He has very loose technique . Look at the gap between bat and pad any good inswing bowler like broad , philander Stokes can get him out 9 out of 10 times . But the one technical deficiency which is more cause of concern is that the way he play on leg side he never lean towards the ball just throw his hand at staying on backfoot many bowler will exploit this fault in future but he has age on his side so hope he correct that ravishingravi and UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment
ravishingravi Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I usually discount every batsman I see on flat pitches in India against poor attacks. UrmiSinhaRay and rkt.india 1 1 Link to comment
UrmiSinhaRay Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I like him and have been an admirer for long -but these new players grow progressively bad eventually because the more intelligent sides do homework a lot on these new players while they fail to grow as a player and eventually becomes shitty. I hope Prithvi or Pant doesn't end up as that Clown RahulSent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Link to comment

He proved to be succumb under pressure when he batted poorly and dropped easy catches in Delhi final game in IPL This is one game against the worst test side. He hasnt shown winning mentality or adaptability to replace Rayudu, DHoni or Jadhav He can replace Rohit at openeing though Under him we won the Under 19 WC when he lead the team which is greater than Ipl. philcric, Suhaan, speedheat and 4 others 3 1 3 Link to comment

He meets the ball right under his eye. Second thing he has improved his late adjustments a lot. He is able to check at the last second instead of being stuck like Pujara.

mishra Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Tendulkar gave an interview and said, 10 year back, when he saw Shaw bat. He opined this kid will play for India. Missed his inning yesterday. Any links/highlights please? Edited October 5, 2018 by mishra UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Few hours of PEP talk from Thala can do great for Prithvi and Pant. They should appoint a meeting soon. UrmiSinhaRay, manu4411, speedheat and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment
TNAmarkFromIndia Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 He should be in the ODI squad to replace Rahul in the XI if Rahul isn't doing well. Even though he played that big innings in the final Test in England, I don't think he's high on confidence and if he has a run of failures, we need someone in his place. beetle and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
