Lord Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 20 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: Pant is a static player with not a lot of feet movement. Only time he moves his feet is when he tries to attack by dancing down. Otherwise weight distribution is poor. He stands and slashes or drives with very little feet movement. So his game is fraught with risks. In every match he scores he takes chances. In the matches that chances come off he looks great. In other matches they don't come off. Almost 80% of the time he gets out when he shows intent. He has to strike a balance. Also has to spend time at the crease. yes he scored 2 overseas tons and other innings just because chances came off. Showing intent isnt bad.He's not a draw player Link to comment

Showed patience in Aus before launching. He's playing inside the line since England.That's something batting coach should help him with Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 15 hours ago, Vijy said: Historically, if one excludes the green mambas that NZ give us, I'd say that SA is one of the hardest places to rack up big scores. And Pant's batting style is not well-suited for these tracks. We will just need to live with the fact that no keeper-batsman can perform equally well everywhere (e.g., Dhoni in Oz and Gilly in Ind): what he does need to do is maintain his performance in Oz/home, improve record in Eng and potentially NZ. I have a feeling that he cannot easily average more than about 25 in SA. I don't rate Pant based on his average.Pant should be assessed on his impactful knocks.He has improved his keeping a lot.Pant is just fine but people have to temper their expectations .He is a match winner in test matches.He can play a match winning knock on any ground.

G_B_ Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Pant IMO needs to work on his weight. Is basically in his mid 20s and spilling out. Regardless of form thats not acceptable in todays world. Losing some flab will quicken/sharpen his responses. I am sure teams all over have analysed his technique. At this rate is going to become another Jos buttler +, batting average around 35 and a decent keeper. Not bad for a wicket keeper batsman but not world class either. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Are there specific conditions where he is susceptible? We can probably find out from the mode of his dismissals. Swing bowling is not exactly his forte. When you play swing you have to play as late as possible or play before it swings. If you play in between you have to have quick reflex for last minute adjustment. Link to comment

Lord Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 terrible. Dunno why hes changing what worked. Never used to charge the pacers in Aus and India series.Has to put it away. Link to comment

Never used to charge the pacers in Aus and India series.Has to put it away. he's taking the irfan pathan route. probably listening to too many people and forgetting what worked for him in his first 15-20 tests and also in ranjis. with that said, his batting is not suited for NZ and SA.

I doubt if he will take any active role in player coaching and development. He will do whatever either captain or BCCI instruct him to do. Selection of trundlers, continued backing of Trimurthi, etc. are all indicative of this pattern Banton and Suhaan 2 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Since the Gabba test, his scores in SENA are a hit or miss. A 0 here hurt India more than anything else. Decent outings Link to comment

kruiser Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Whats the difference between Pant and Bumrah's style of batting? Both look very similar to me; ergo lets promote Boom to bat at number 4. vvvslaxman and Kothili 2 Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Cricket seems to be the only sport where having a large belly seems to be acceptable. Pant's lack of physical conditioning is showing in his batting. A sharper body will help his all round game and mental focus. And in terms of optics being out of form and showing up with a pot belly is not a good look. Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Pot belly or not, he did some fine acrobatic dives on the leg side and saved valuable runs Lord 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some people on here are delusional. They think what happened in Gabba is a regular occurance. Chasing 300 plus on fifth day against that bowling attack is a rarity.Even there Pant should have been stumped early in that innings. What was so irritating yesterday about yesterday's dismissal was his reluctance to fight.It looks like he got gun shy after ball before he got out hit him on the gloves.It had nothing to do with his technique.
