Im worried about Pant now

[shychipmunk]

Rishabh's 100 came at 70 strike rate

 

Virat's 29 came at 20 strike rate

 

This loser should stop talking about "intent" now !

Two Threads that have fallen flat on its face today, Count Thread and this one. OP should worry about Rahane and Pujara and leave Pant alone.

Real worry is that ultimate Panauti after destroying Pandua and Pujara career is now after Pant.

was always gonna happen. Next time he 'throws' it away people will bash him again.

 

Hes never gonna be consistent or look safe while getting out.

Pant can redeem himself in the 2nd innings.  A sensible counter attacking knock will help India big time. A 70 odd would do. Let us see how he does. 

 

100 but team score 198 lol. Thats how bad it is

[mishra]

Never doubted him hence was waiting for his bat do talking. A young player with a weakness will be able to rectify it. So Pant did it.

same can’t be said about Rahane and Kohli.

[ShoonyaSifar]

Absolutely amazing innings today..perhaps his best among so many of the gems he's played 

 

My concern regarding his fitness remains. If he doesn't lose weight soon enough, he will not reach the heights he's destined for. 

[dilliboy]

Another ATG innings within a span of a year.. Generational talent who no one should ever be doubting again. Can't believe some morons on Twitter were calling for Saha to be picked for the 3rd test

It's a myth. He is as consistent as any reliable batsman.

[Gambit]

Generational talent. Yesterday's knock was his best and it is also the lowest total by India ever where someone's made a 100.

 

If I am not mistaken, he's probably the only Indian batsman apart from Tendulkar who has made a 100 in his first tours of Australia, England and South Africa.

But he is one of the most consistent batsman we have, who usually plays over  40 deliveries per test, very rarely he gets out in single digits

He has 6 single figures in his last 15 innings since WTC Final.

 

Plus looks bad when  he 'throws it away'

 

Any of his shots yesterday could have gone up in air and he'd been bashed.

 

But that's his game.We need to back him like Sehwag

It's a miracle that Pant has come through this far given how much he was messed about in the first 4 years since his international debut.

 

It started with Virat's fitness nautanki to keep Pant out and then his reckless shot selection.

 

I am similarly worried about Shaw who's another generational talent but our team management prefers mediocrities like Mayank and Panchal.

yes, shaw got 2 tests in utter green mambas in NZ and did somewhat okay. admittedly failed 1 test in Oz (clear technical issues), but has been utterly discarded since then. strange selections...

I am really worried about Pant.. I dont think there was another player in Indian cricketing history who was constantly put under this much pressure by TM & media.. 2 or 3 consecutive failures is all it takes to talk about dropping him.. earlier it was about his keeping skills against spinners.. now that he has improved in that aspect some other loopholes are being found.. its almost as if he is the only inconsistent player in the team

Exactly.. One average innings and the swords are out for him. But I believe under Dravid there'll be a lot more patient with him in LOIs compared to the previous management

If he reduces Afridi type of shots focus will be less on him.  Given the inadequate lower order we have, failures of top 6 will be magnified. It is not just Pant.  To draw a comparison Dhoni until he became the captain was very aggressive. His strike rate was close to 100 while maintaining an average in the mid 40s. He was immensely powerful. But he was also lightning between wickets.  After he became the captain he changed his approach. May be Pant has to re-evaluate his approach  And also improve in all the areas of batting like strike rotation, placing the ball in the gaps, running between the wickets. Improving game sense.

this... comparison of Pant against a goat keeper like MSD.. I think its unfair.. same is not done for Shreyas or others.. Shreyas is not compared against Yuvi or Raina..

I think Iyer doesn't throw away his wicket mostly.  He has a better game sense than Pant. At one point his scores were like 88, 65, 18, 30, 71, 65, 70, 53.  His career average is 41. Strike rate 100. Capable of big overs. Shreyas Iyer  already has 8 century partnership including a double century partnership in 21 innings. He does well with partners.
