R!TTER Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Not for opening, opening in Eng is arguably the toughest job out there for any batter atm! Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Okay saw the report on Cricbuzz Apparently it's a serious internal injury (calf/ shin injury/ hamstring damage) which could keep him out for a long time. But then the article also says he will remain with the touring party in England and could come in contention for later tests. Basically the TM showing no faith in the NCA's rehab programs.

R!TTER Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 If it's really serious he should see a doctor/specialist there & see if there's any surgery or something that might be needed. * the TM, pretty sure they'll thrust him even if he's unfit in later tests & he'll be out for WT20 for longer!

Its not a bad thing that he sits out. I wish both Mayank and Rahul get opportunities. He only plays tests. His IPL form should have ZERO bearing on his test spot. He's had 4 or 5 failures since Australia, in some of the most difficult batting conditions. Let him settle down in the team. Link to comment

WTF! How did he hide it? He made sure he was selected for WTC final and now reveals his injury? Doesn't add up. If found true, he should be sent back to domestics to prove match fitness. First test is a good 35 days away, he can recover from any grievous injury, unless he was carrying broken bone. This could be some PR news for Pujara, KL, Mayank or mere speculation. I hope Rohit lazyElegance is niggled out rather this tyro. Link to comment

It is true that he has not played well since the Aussie tour.. not just the runs, he just has not looked the same. Prithvi shaw was dropped for less. GILL - 7 low scores after a 50 SHAW - 3 low scores after a 50 Overall Shaw has better Average, Strike rate and already scored a hundred. I do like them both but just pointing out. Everyone struggled in NZ and Shaw was dropped after one bad game in Australia. Again not saying Gill should not get more chances. He definitely should get the long rope. Good point, Need to keep Shaw in circulation, he is a Sehwag type batsman who has the similarities to Bradman, Tendulkar to Gavaskar. Just being sarcastic about cheerleader here. I truly believe Shaw should be persisted with Mayank, he has 2 double 100s and a century, and a 50 in NZ recently. Seems more prolific than all: Cricspin and raki05 2 Link to comment

No rhyme, no reason, no allowance to settle in the team as a newbie. If Gill is ruled out of this tour with injury & Shaw has a bumper IPL in September, Shaw will come back & Gill will be forgotten. That's how things roll. raki05 and Lord 2 Link to comment

But after a 36 all out type of performance, drastic decisions are made and Shaw's glaring technical deficiencies ensured he was not getting a Test match anytime sooner. Plus his past reputation (doping ban, fitness issues, looking like a 30 yr old cricketer with a paunch and all) precedes him and will always keep him on the leash. Wish he could shed some weight, will easily have a 10-12 year long all format career, that's how good he is. Because he was unfairly treated shouldn't mean Gill be given the same treatment. If things work well, Shaw, Gill, Mayank, Rahul and Pant is our all format potential fab 5 once Rohit, Pujara, Rahane and Kohli are done over the next 2-3 years kirkutfan, raki05 and coffee_rules 3 Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Shaw will be recalled for Lanka and he won't be playing a single match in England. He's a serious threat to the top 3 and he will be neutralized. This injury sounds extremely fishy. Dismantling of the gabba team has already begun. maniac and Cricspin 1 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Conspiracy to save Pujara & seniors perhaps? Gill looked completely fit & was fielding well too in WTC final. Something doesn't add up. Cricspin and maniac 2 Link to comment
Majestic Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Shaw's technique was exposed in IPL last year when inferior bowlers were getting him out in IPL and that was technical deficiency. If your technique is exposed in a T20 league, God knows what will happen in Test cricket in overseas conditions. Gill has a slight bit of technical flaw but it is not as bad which is why he was given longer run. Edited June 30, 2021 by Majestic Link to comment

He won't be in Wt20 team even if he is fit. There are 10-15 better t20 batsmen ahead of him. Sgattick10 1 Link to comment
Sgattick10 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 As per TOI, Hanuma will open and Rahul if played will be in mo..so Pujara might get the axe Link to comment

Cannot keep changing a long term strategy after every match. Unless the conditions demand picking only one spinner, only then we should do away with the 5 bowler theory. Link to comment
