Delhi bating ends at 4 lol

[beetle]

Zen's wolf posts should also be put on ' pending approval '.

[vvvslaxman]

A batting line up like this should restrict opposition to 120 or below to win matches.

[vvvslaxman]

Come on Rohit go easy on your opening partner :)

[Pollack]

Great move.. got pie chuckers one over out of the way for cheap.

@Laaloo or @beetle I don’t know why you guys are not liking the criticism of Pant.

 

His one handed shots are not just a pet peeve of mine and some fans on this forum, even a lot of cricket experts have pointed that out and found that annoying. It happens too often to be a rare occurance.

 

Pant has shown no middle gear. Even the singles he is getting are of mistimed hoicks.

 

I am a big fan of his and want him to do well, but c’mon you must be kidding if you think he gives you confidence.

 

Right now his fear factor is the same like  Afridi. What if today he comes off kind of. 

 

It should be more like a Gilchrist or Prime Yuvraj Singh or Dhoni.

good play by DC so far

You don't get readymade Gilchrist or Dhoni. Have you watched technique of dhoni when he made a mark in Indian team It was god damn awful.Even Raina looked like a hack at first.

[Global.Baba]

Jayant Yadav scores a 100 and picks a few 4frs in his first 2-3 series but he is dumped from all scheme of things.

 

Jadeja is backed regardless of thousands of failures in all formats till he finds success in tests.

 

clearly Indian cricket is Run on favoritism

[zen]

wolves praise and appreciate good play by opponents too  

 

[vvvslaxman]

Thigh slapper seems to be angry lol

You are confusing unorthodox technique with actual game play. Raina or Dhoni’s defense and stroke play might have looked funny but they didn’t go about hoicking every ball.

 

Take example of Afridi, when he played a rare defensive shot it looked like made up his mind to block but would want to hoick every ball.

 

Sorry but Pant does the same thing In 9 out of 10 knocks. There is a difference between playing attacking cricket and hoicking every ball.
