express bowling Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Pant's keeping looks like a work-in-progress to me. And that is natural as he is only 20. He is brilliant at diving and collecting. But his foot-work is not always good and neither is his anticipation ... and he has to dive for some balls because of this. p.s -- Keeping to seamers was very tough yesterday ... because of the rather frequent late swing after passing the stumps.

He as a rookie on debut took 5 catches in some alien conditions away from home that itself employs credentials of his proper technique no need to explain it in detail and that also trumps the fact that he had looooot of work to do as you initially spouting. He has age and time on his hand in case of flaws he will learn, but saying he has looooooot of work to do is laughable.. Sorry if that sounds harsh. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Occasional loose deliveries are bowled by every bowler ... and they get highlighted in videos if byes are conceded. Just check the pitch map and ER of our 3 main pacers.

velu Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 pant has the tendency to preempt his move .. good example is in the last game he went to his left early and ended up dropping buttler UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
