Both minnows vs India.

 

I counted that but it's the only innings that you could think of, so he's not much of a bluechip stock, is he atm?

 

Cheap wickets, we've gone over this.

 

Second whirlwind performance this year.

good performances are good performances.  Others failed against those same teams.  6 good performances in 9 tests if we include 50 in this game. 2 with the ball, 4 with the bat.

Guy is playing 9 tests on the trot, he has to show performance for it. So far it's been 2 really good performances over a span of 21 innings.

 

When was the last time you saw so many people come out of the closet and defend such mediocre stats for one player? Will you bring this 5/28 in the next 10 tests, or will Pandya constantly improve from hereon?

 

If you do, then you know where you stand. His role is to perform whatever job he's given, you or any of his fans labeling him A/R doesn't matter.

Whats ur expectation???

 

After 10 test here are others avg

Looking above, what wrong with pandya perfomance.....infact he looks ahead then many 

 

 

Now before u jump on the wagon n say m comparing pandya to these players.....NO IM not 

All m saying is questioning is what is ur expectation after 10 test, so early ..........his stats are absolutely fine and more importantly he has shown it in foreign conditions tht he has in him . Expecting consistency in intial 10 test is too much ......players dnt become great overnight

Unless the youngster is a temporary replacement, he should be given like 4-5 series to establish himself .... Pandya is not replacing anyone and has come in as an AR, which has not been a common position in Indian cricket for the past 2 decades or so, therefore he should be given the time to settle down .... Positives are that he has shown "continuous improvement"
