It was swinging all directions.. I think he did well to protect the middle order by playing the way he did. Poor guy won us a series in Australia by tiring starc and Cummins out.. can’t doubt that guy
Kothili Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Someone explain to me how did that Chepu cover drive not fetch a 4? Barely gets to the fence most of the times. Is it his bat grip?
FischerTal Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 also, I hope shaw doesn't get the boot in the next match. if you have chosen him, give him a proper run. gill can wait his turn.

Sandeep99 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 India should draw/win but clown should fail. Too much to ask for?

Is it his bat grip? It’s his bat lift . Doesn’t have one .. he is very insecure about his hand eye .. he wants to keep the bat close to body .. so doesn’t lift the bat high ... and therefore has become a touch player ... in contrast look at agarwal high back lift and forces on more .. Kothili 1

From a mindset stand point he is like Dravid. But Dravid was a far classy stroke player. He had beautiful fool proof bat extension against swinging balls when the ball was pitched up. Cricspin and Kothili 2

I disagree. Its unlikely he will do any better than he did this test. Might as well see what gill is made out of and give gill a longer rope against eng at home.
Sandeep99 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Ajaz doing his bit for his mother country.. appreciated brother

Good way to look at it.

If he can overcome the initial nerves (which is the hard part for him now) he can do better.

bahadur_billa Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Looks like New Zealand will play an all pace attack in the next game. Wagner will come in for Patel.
vvvslaxman Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Pujara is pissing Boult off lol I think that is where Pujara's strength lies. Hazlewood asked him "aren't you bored" .

This series was drawn 1-1 but was significant at the time. Also Napier 2009. Managed to draw following on after conceding 314 lead in first innings.
