Prithvi mode of dismissals

[New guy]

NZ seems to think his weakness is getting caught flicking on his legs so bowling there. But thats hos strength and he is hitting them nicely

They have placed a fielder there which i wsa referring to.

He is very much like Sehwag who used to play similarly, used to get bowled so many times trying to make room.

Good post. Ball seams in and he gets trapped.

 

Still he is such a positive player like Sehwag that it should not be a major issue in itself.

[Pandya_Power]

He has actually made changes to his stance and trigger movement. He is slightly opened up and stays till before the delivery. Great to see.

That was post peak Sehwag, at his best he used to block these bowls easily & his mode of dismissal was caught outside off mainly in slips. It's mainly after 2005/06 he got into this bad habit of going apeshit in tests & lost all his momentum!

You are may be forgetting that he is foot or so shorter than Sehwag and thats very critical for power and reach. Also with such little height Shaw will be strangled against the Tall pacy fast bowlers , case in point Starc ,Irfan, Nortje .

Sehwag was 5'6. He is 5'3.

Simon Doull made a good point.. Shaw's batting style is getting into position and kinda throw the bat at the ball.. similar to how Sehwag played.. very little back foot movement.. it works well on flat surfaces, but might be found wanting on swinging/seaming conditions... he needs to fine tune his technique against the seaming ball

Hello neighbor, how come your overage U19 players got blasted yet again

kohli is 5'8 So ? Its these "few" inches that prove to be a significant factor.

I think it was more to do with being over aggressive on this occasion. He was easily blocking these similar incoming deliveries today. They were constantly targetting him there and he wasn't really troubled until then. Went too hard on this one though, going after the new bowler.

he seems ultra aggressive, he wont survive if he cant respect  good balls.

C'mon he turned 20 couple of months back. He is a confident young man maybe trying too hard to dominate, to make his mark in this gun top order. He looked very comfortable out there today scoring on both off and leg. The talent is there, needs to be nourished by playing him more.

[aditya19]

he will do well when there is no lateral movement... dont know his batting against the spinners as he was struggling a bit in in the ipl with that.

[Frustrated]

Does not look ready for international cricket yet.  But he is too young.  Needs to be groomed.

[cric_fan]

Classy player

Don’t be harsh on the young man

Just feel that Prithvi may struggle against intelligent teams. He looks to play at the same mode no matter what and does not yet possess the temperament to graft a long innings. He can score a 150 ball 200, but can he score a 300+ ball 200 if needed. Also given that he thrives on boundary shots and a reluctant runner plus has fitness issues, an in and out field can mess up his momentum and force him to gift his wicket. 

 

The good thing is he has range of shots and age is on his side to make significant improvements.
