UrmiSinhaRay Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Absolutely, Pant would have a terrific time carrying drinks at the Asia Cup I can see it now: (Scene begins) (A grizzly old Dhoni calls for Pant preparing to enter the match; Asia Cup match vs Pakistan, India 250-3, 40th over) (A giggling young Pant runs to Dhoni) Pant: "Mahi Kaka, Mahi Kaka, kya aapne mujhe bulaaya?" Dhoni: "Haan Rishu beta, jaa jaaldi se mera bat, mera helmet, aur Shastri Kaka ke liye ek bottle Vodka leh ke aao " Pant: "Mahi Kaka, agar main aisa karta hoon, toh kya aap muhje batting karne dhoonga agle match mein?" Dhoni: "Na beta, main retire ho jaoonga 2030 mein, phir teri baari! Lekin, agar tu jaldi se aate ho, toh main tujhko helicopter ride par le jaoonga." (The young Pant, ecstatic at the thought of his career launching 12 years from now screams) Pant: Promise? (The sly Dhoni, wearing his trademark smile and crossing his fingers behind his back) Dhoni: Haan beta, promise... (Pant, with eyes filled with joy) Pant: Mahi Kaka, aap mahan ho! (Unable to contain his exuberance, the young Pant does a quick charan sparsh of Dhoni and rushes to retrieve the items ) (Dhoni, by himself, awaiting the young lad's arrival chuckles to himself) Dhoni: "Murk! Dhoni is forever!" (End scene)I have Feeling Dhoni won't retire in 2019 .He has said he might even play beyond that and he WOULD - unless he's not kicked out.

He wants a chance to win the cup again, so he is continuing. He already retired from Tests, so the WC is the only thing that keeps him going I think. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

About Tests , always had a feeling Mahi thinks this format as redundant and past it's expiry dateThat's why never did concentrate on it.

Pant is a better keeper than whatever dhoni was even halfway his career and entire career minus stumping. Sgattick10, beetle, UrmiSinhaRay and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment

mishra Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I remember KP in commentry box post ECB/Strauss days. but Bhajji paaji, Control man. You are too old to even play IPL. Why so much anger. You cant talk without exposing that you ate talking politics. Rapidex English speaking course isnt enough. Need to have some more command.

zen Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Let Pant focus on tests at the moment. 2 tests vs WI and 4 vs Aus, which would be a challenge for him .... a stitch in time saves nine UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I dnt care If he plays WI ODi series or not but he shud go to NZ-A tour which will help him be better prep for Aus tour and NZ-A tour will clash with WI series UrmiSinhaRay and diehardpacer 1 1 Link to comment
Global.Baba Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Bhajji,Vikrant Gupta and Madan Lal. Now add Akash Chopra,Azharuddin and the 2 or 3 random dudes( the one with the hat who is always hyper-emotional) who appear on the show to the mix. Voila You got yourself the kind of brain power on which great cricketing super powers are built on Laaloo and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Global.Baba Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 ^Correction I meant Nikhil Chopra. doesn't matter though you guys get the point,replace Akash with Nikhil or vice versa no one gives a F anyways. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

On the batting front,he is surprisingly good against short ball for a young Indian batsman, so he should be fine there. Also don't think Saha is totally done, he should still be our 1st choice.

On the contrary i hve seen him struggling against into the body deliveries , for him that prep of NZ-A tour wud be very beneficial He wnt struggle with glove work in Aus, glove is generally a prob in Ind n ENg mostly He was good here in eng to, most of the byes wasnt his fault....everyone struggles a bit here. Even bairstrow was struggling, dhoni was very below avg in his 1st england tour as keeper Edited September 12, 2018 by Ankit_sharma03 diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Even bairstrow was struggling, dhoni was very below avg in his 1st england tour as keeper Aus is more difficult to keep than England for SC keepers. Sure Eng is tough too but you get swinging conditions in India as well especially in the North in winter. You don't see Aus like pitches any where in India. His keeping is decent put still not a finished good yet. I mean comparing to Saha's glove work, he is not even close.However his batting is ahead.So he needs to have a lot of practice with the gloves on those pitches because looks like Saha might be done. Coming to batting, I think he is ok with short pitch bowling based on the way he played Stokes who was trying to bounce him out. Looked more competent than Nair,Vihari or even Raina after all these years. Edited September 12, 2018 by Global.Baba UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Seedha bowl ke saamne keeping men kya problem The problem in england is the ball swings till very late In India it turns really sharp n it can keep low or jst jump of , australia men seedha bowl aata hai 11 hours ago, Global.Baba said: His keeping is decent put still not a finished good yet.

Again u shud not compare him to Saha coz saha has polished it for yrs and this wnt happen overnight . 11 hours ago, Global.Baba said: Coming to batting, I think he is ok with short pitch bowling based on the way he played Stokes who was trying to bounce him out.

Not really, In a few IPL games i hve noticed him getting in awkward position and those were indian pitches Aus bowlers will have more pace then stokes Raina ....hahahah.
