Ankit_sharma03 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Last time he was new this time Aussies will come with a plan against him, their is a chink in his game . I hve seen more of this in NZ-A series , this time they will target this Area specially cummins If the ball is pitched in good length in channel outside off stump, He is either going for a back foot punch or trying defend instead of leaving. That was a flaw of Virat Kohli in 2014 England series which he eventually corrected now. Edited April 12, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

Let's hope he has worked on correcting this. Link to comment

Mayank doesn't need to go Kohli way but look to play square or use horizontal bat strokes like square cut more often. Big test for him no doubt though. Link to comment

A left armer bringing the ball in to a RHB on a green mamba. It was too good a ball. Starc can try to recreate that but only Boult is expert in that way & Indian batters have no idea to handle him. Last time Indians played Starc very well. He may be threat with a pink ball though. Link to comment
sandeep Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Frankly I do not expect much from Mayank. But that's not a bad place to be. One thing going for him? He is mentally in quite possibly, the best space of his life. And also in very good form with the bat. Whatever he manages to do, or not do - its going to be close to his best possible effort. So maybe he can come through. At least a couple of times. I like the guy - more for his mental strength than his batting technique. But the former is often underrated.

Vickydev Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I expect him to struggle big time. He has a glaring weakness for a test match opener and the Oz will hammer away at it. express bowling 1 Link to comment

True , he looks clear minded .I think he will do well this series.I am sure he will go big in Scg and Mcg .Not so sure about the pink ball test. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The opponents may have studied Agarwal's positives and negatives but Agarwal too may have noted the positives and negatives of opponents. It's never one sided. The last time he did very well. Hope he gives India great starts this time as well. Link to comment
NameGoesHere Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The moving length ball on top of or outside the off stump has always been a vulnerabilty of most batsmen. McGrath built a career around bowling on that zone. So I'm not sure why it is a particular flaw of Mayank's. Unless he's especially weak in that regard? Adamant 1 Link to comment

Unless he's especially weak in that regard? coz his weakness is his backfoot gets stuck putting in him in awkward position , yes everyone has weakness n its meant to be exploited. I just pointed out that weakness....whats the fuzz i didnt say he is bad Link to comment

figo6762 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Doesn’t know where his off stump is because of lack of confidence ... he playing balls and fishing when he should duck or leave it .. we will probably see him taking a leg - middle guard and a be a bit more front on ... he needs a good second innings and should feel the bounce and sound of that four ... he will back in Knick no time .. we need persist .. so what he gets out that’s why we have 11 players others need to step up ... also his back leg is getting across too much for lefties ..

Sir Alistair Cook was vulnerable against the corridor from right arm over the wicket bowlers but he is one of the all-time great openers. Link to comment
vayuu1 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 surprisingly nobody is talking about his issues against short ball, closes his eyes ,hand above head and head is in downward position ala Raina. Link to comment
