rkt.india Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Technique is over rated. It is all about hand eye coordination, reflexes and instinctive reaction to the ball. There is not enough time for any batsman to think about all those stuff when you bat. Most people here, I don't think, has batted against a cricket ball. A batsman gets 120 ms to react to a ball bowled at 85 mph. Only thing they can do is practice leaving as many balls as possible. Change guard to off stump and leave anything outside but even that becomes an issue against Anderson who angles the ball in and batsmen are forced to play. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

vayuu1 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 More than technique it's the grit that is missing,ganguly in sa is a prime example, played gutsy Cricket, had anyone played even 10% of that we wouldn't have been under so much mess. Gollum, UrmiSinhaRay and Tattieboy 1 2 Link to comment
Number Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Dhawan has the worst technique. No balance on top of that angled bat and always going hard at the ball like a cow lasher. People compare him to Sehwag saying if Viru can play tests so can Dhawan forgetting that Sehwag had impeccable balance and could present full face of the bat if his life depended on it.

Lannister Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It's all in the practice games. The technique that works on SC pitch may not work against a Duke ball in English conditions. You need to predict which way the ball is going to swing and quick enough to adjust to it with in a fraction of a second. You can only master that by practicing and get your body reflexes to adjust automatically. But the idiot of a coach not only didn't arrange enough practice games but he went ahead and reduced the number of play days. What's the point of playing Test cricket then if you are not putting 100% effort and have a loser mentality? UrmiSinhaRay, Switchblade and Gollum 1 1 1 Link to comment

The word you're looking for is seam, we don't need to predict swing - one can easily observe it with the way ball comes out of the hand or swing in the air. You can partly negate late movement, swing or seam, by lowering the bat lift and not turning the face of the bat. Play if with as straight a face as possible if it's on the stumps, always works decently. Gollum and Lannister 2 Link to comment
CG Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 A left handed Sehwag would have fared very similar to Dhawan. Sehwag has centuries everywhere.Main Diff is Sehwag Had better hand eye coordination and his bat always came straight when defending.Dhawan Is Always Looking to drive where Sehwag looked to cut.

Rahane before he got out, and Pujara are showing it this innings finally. Rahul and Vijay look hopeless This image was on twitter they have to concentrate and keep their hands in the blue box when batting CG 1 Link to comment
