2nd test ... India vs South Africa at Pune


Recommended Posts

Thanks Sreshth. India are motoring along. Still a bit puzzled by Jadeja's promotion ahead of Saha and Ashwin when there is no quick declaration around the corner (presumably) but perhaps it indicates that Jadeja's batting is higher in the pecking order than those two regardless of match situation...

Ssushovan: "Kohli has a tendency to impose some predetermined set of ideas. Sending Pant before Iyer in ODI, dropping Raydu in WC, choosing Jadeja before Saha all are driven by that redetermined set of ideas.

 

Looks like the commentator & audience of cricinfo, both are clueless. Jad is at least a tier above Saha as far as their batting is concerned :whack3:

Mayank brings the same sort of mental attitude that Viru brought. While these two don't really have an attacking game to take on the short pitched stuff, they put such deliveries out of their mind immediately and don't half-ass it while going after anything in their half. And they absolutely murder spinners.

 

I think Mayank has cemented the opening spot for himself. Can end up with a career average of 50+ and 6k+ runs. SA and Eng are going to be the big tests obviously. 

 

Agree with Mayank being similar to Sehwag with regard to spinners..but he is much better than Sehwag in terms of maintenance. Sehwag was a better player overall but Mayank from all accounts is a low maintenance character while Sehwag is a cringeinducing character and put no thought which brought about his swift demise in later career.
