KL Rahul as WK batsman should stop, the lengths TM had gone to lol 9 minutes ago, SK_IH said: Very well said by Rohit. I also thought once Pant understands his game, he ll become more consistent. That applies even to limited overs cricket. He has a game plan now, teams will keep worrying about the imminent six while he builds an innings. People like Ganguly and Rohit understand youngsters better and know how to back the right talent. Which us why they were / are good captains. Mosher, Real McCoy, mishra and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Which us why they were / are good captains. Exactly. Ganguly was great at backing talent. Imagine if Sehwag played under Kohli, he would have been criticized for playing "irresponsibly" and thrown out of the team after a couple of failures. express bowling 1 Link to comment

mishra Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I think, Washington Sundar also deserve some appreciation thread. He has played beautifully in partnership with Pant. @tweaker please open a thread on him too. You have auspicious hand Man, these two lads are future. Pant Reverse sweeping Anderson.

Needs to knock off a few more kilos and improve his stamina and endurance strength He was cramping in heat. His fitness is top notch and he is a gymnast. He has scored over 300 in domestics in similar circumstances. People just go by body type express bowling 1 Link to comment

Nothing wrong with the shot. Pant was well set and was looking to score runs and put pressure on the tired bowlers. If he had played the shot when he just came to bat and got out then it would not have been acceptable. express bowling 1 Link to comment

As Gavaskar says. He must be seeing the ball like football. Link to comment
vijaydude Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 33 minutes ago, MultiB48 said: I find it hard to believe ,he is such a hack but hand eye coordination and shot selection bails him out. Are we watching the same player? Pant has one of the tightest techniques going around. It's just that there are other things such as his hand-eye, and an expansive stroke-array built on that defense too. Link to comment

When Pant played that shot India were in a pretty good position he was batting on 89 and India's lead was 40. That's the way he plays and has been very successful. He has already played many more impact innings than our top order batsman in recent times. If anybody is to be blamed it's the miserable performance of our top order. express bowling 1 Link to comment

He succeeded, it was the only wicket india lost in third session. This is exactly how he targeted Lyon in Australia 3) in post game he told that him and management had a plan on what score to reach before attacking. So he felt safe attacking at that score, team had already crossed the score they had decided 4) he knew exact length and spot Anderson was bowling, so just like he charged previous over, he knew from that length ball will carry over slips if he reverses Edited March 5, 2021 by New guy Link to comment

Its not close on any pitch, but here even more so Link to comment
