Majestic 1,535 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yes, not sure why they have picked Ruturaj and all of a sudden sabogated Shaw from ODIs. Didn't he played the ODI series vs Sri Lanka and did fine? Kishan is part of the team and so is SKY, then why not Shaw? With Rohit and Kohli in top 3, India need one of either Shaw or Kishan in the top 3. Then probably Pant at 4 and KL at 5. raki05 1 Link to post
sarchasm 4,508 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's pretty hopeless how duds like Mayank and Panchal supersede him. Consider this fact. People who actually put their money where their mouth is, they choose Shaw over duds like Dhawan. Check DC retention. They know who's more value. But our selectors, mediocre players who become selectors because nobody qualified wants the job, think Dhawan is the way forward for our LOI team in South Africa. Cricspin and raki05 2 Link to post
SK_IH 11,388 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's a travesty Shaw is not a regular in India's LOI formats. We are happy continuing with Dhawan instead jf1gp_1, Cricket_Hacker, raki05 and 1 other 4 Link to post

Sean Bradley 1,882 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Shaw is extremely talented no doubt, but he needs to tighten his game outside off stump if he wish to succeed in SENA conditions. SRT100, Austin 3:!6 and raki05 1 2 Link to post

A tight defence is a cliche much like a good footwork. Players find their own way and as long as they succeed more often than they fail, the topic of technique shouldn't be overplayed. Shaw has a quick eye and fast hands. On A tours, he has either dominated or been completely untroubled facing quicks who have terrorized senior Indian batsmen - Jamieson, Ollie robinson, Marco Jansen. Besides, it's beyond funny to beat up Shaw for an alleged flaw in technique even as we have Mayank opening for India. raki05, Suhaan and Cricspin 1 2 Link to post

Shaw is a hawk who should not be caged in the name of technique and experience,no excuse now when this side is on brink of next transition cycle He's too good a player to be ignored,sides across the globe crave for a guy like him raki05 and sarchasm 1 1 Link to post

Lone Wolf 6,498 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I don't know why his game against spin seems little dodgy. He is still gun against pace I reckon. He definitely would have loved batting in SA. Link to post
Adamant 1,717 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 We don't really need Shaw to emulate Viru, coz we want to win in SEN these days, wr have already conquered Australia and subcontinent and a player like Viru would hardly contribute much to wins in SEN. Shaw needs to learn how to tackle the moving ball, that's the need of the hour. He is more than capable of doing that, has played in England for half his career. Lord 1 Link to post

I am a Shaw Advocate myself, Shaw can be utilised in Sehwag Mould, at times even Sehwag knew the art of letting the odd one go outside off stump. Shaw has a tendency to go after everything which has led to his downfall on many occasions. All I wish for Shaw to show some patience, if he stays for till lunch, India will more often than not be 120/1 on most occasions. Edited January 16 by Sean Bradley Link to post
