I know. Not a fan of Rohit in test as well.. Just pointing out thr fickle nature of people. If shaw fails in 2 tests you will see threads of him being over hyped

Definitely he is the future. He is only 20. I can excuse first innings where he got a peach. This was just a dumb shot at so many levels. For one thing  only in that over they placed a fielder exactly for that type of shot.  So that lack of awareness is shocking.  I have to say that Jaiswal dude looked more sensible. As soon as they  put some fielders in his favorite area he played them through on side. He consistently targeted only the gaps.  I am not hyping him. Just pointing even a younger guy is aware of the field set and plays accordingly. Shaw is one guy who couldn't care less about gaps. It makes him an unreliable player.

Seriously. Sachin had like 6 slips while India was saving the test. He scored 117 to save the test. He faced Richard Hadlee to make 88 runs almost became the youngest centurion.  Shaw is way too loose. No real game plan as well like seeing off first 10 overs 

Hadlee. One of the greatest bowlers of all time and the greatest NZ bowler of all time. Sachin's century at the WACCA in Perth in 1992 is rated apparently as one of the greatest centuries of all time in Australia.

 

In the last 10 years, I struggle to think of any bowler that will go down in history as the greatest for their country or even in the top 3.

 

Quality of Test cricket has really dropped in the past 10 years.

This is strange and shameful that despite having pool of batting talent India have to depend on Prithvi Shaw for opening who himself have lot of technical error in batting. 

You know why.

Given his age i would give him some time to understand his own game. We are mighty pissed off because our entire team sucked balls. Not like seasoned batsman Pujara look comfortable either. Pujara's record in NZ in abysmal.

Even dibbly dobbly Grandhomme is causing problems for the batters.

There is a discussion going on in cricinfo why CDG is more successful with his swing.
