Dire Iyer against short stuff :facepalm:
 

Call it “pigeon” shot where a pigeon closes its eyes thinking that the cat would disappear … Here Iyer is hoping that the bouncer disappears

Despite his short ball problem being clear, not many bowlers try it against him. Obviously talking about faster ones. In IPL it doesn't matter but if it's get caught on from now, he will find it hard in international. But then the likes of Raina survived.

Raina could take on short ones from trundlers atleast

 

Iyer doesnt have pull and starts dancing at first sight of short ball

Quite likely that Umran has cancelled Shreyas's ticket to Australia. One or two more performances like this and he will book his ticket to Australia instead. :giggle:

 

On a side note imagine if KKR pick raina as replacement, the holy trinity of short ball legends will be in KKR. Rana, Shreyas, Raina. :rofl:

even russell struggles just that the line has to accurate or else the ball will travel 

Dre is also very weak vs accurate yorkers. 3 times in one over bhuvi made him stumble in the crease.

Jeez why so much hate and negativity suddenly? :facepalm:

 

Is he the only batsman in the world with a "glaring weakness"? Why do people forget that one can have a weak spot and can still score runs? He's one of the few guys in our setup who has am outright positive mindset and good temperament. 

 

Spin will play a big role (contrary to what most people believe) on those large Australian grounds so we need someone like him who can hit those 95 m sixes against them in the middle overs.

1. He is not so talented that he can score runs despite many weaknesses. 

 

2. He has major weakness against leg spinners and faster spinners too. He is only good against slow off-spin bowlers. 

 

So he is neither good against fast bowling nor spin bowling. It's not that he cannot hit against those type of balls, he cannot even negotiate them, he is that poor. Many past and current batsmen have issues with short bowling, but Iyer is another level. 

 

4. He is a batsman in the mould of Kohli, Rohit in terms of intent. He is no SKY. 

 

In the middle overs, every team has good leg spinners. Zampa, Hasaranga, Shadab, Ish Sodhi, Adil Rashid etc. He will be a sitting-duck against them.

spin hitting is not a rare skills. We have many who can do it.

 

As someone said,he struggles v fast spin too.
