Tbh..he often looks fidgety as well.

Not as much as DK, but he does have.

That will be a thing to see when the things start to go tough, or when he is in alien conditions which isn't conducive to his style.

Yeah seems a slightly nervous starter. Wants to get off 0 as early as possible.

 

How he handles bounce in the overseas games, when he gets a chance, will be key IMO. He's played some pretty good counter attacking knocks in seaming conditions at FC level, so that bodes well I hope.

he will not do well in Oz and SA, I think. however, his father has trained him vs swing decently, so should do well enough in NZ and Eng, where pitches are getting flatter.

Does he have anger issues at such a young age  ?

 

Was very angry for a long time when Jaiswal did not run with intent. 

This can be a problem vs teams like Aus. They are going to needle him - and not just on cricket but things like his weight.

 

He needs to be alerted to that.

Mindset matters. He is a compulsive stroke player unlike Pujara who was willing to take the blow to his body as he knew he cannot hook high speed bouncers for four or six. That worked in his favor. But Sarfraz has to learn to leave the ball like Murali vijay did.

he is not the same kind of player murali vijay is. and I don't think trying to become someone that diff will work. Dravid cannot become Sehwag and vice versa

If he has to adapt he has to learn to leave the ball. I remember KOhli trying to do what Murali vijay did first time in England. But he well left straight balls and got bowled. It took a while for him to adapt.

of course, every batter should know how to leave the ball, but expecting sarfaraz or other Ind batters to indulge in as much leaving as Murali Vijay is unrealistic

[putrevus]

We don't need another Murali vijay , he was as useless  and meek as they come.He was one of main reasons why Indian batting became meek in last decade.

 

Players like him will never win matches.When surviving is only your goal, it defeats whole purpose of batting.he stunk in all most every country other than India.

 

Sarfraz has unique ability to rotate strike, as long as he can do that , he should be fine in any country.

Sarfaraz scores 221* against Rest of India in Irani trophy.

He has to play in Irani Trophy so that senior Rahul can play against Bangladesh

He deserves to be a starter in Tests over either Kohli or KL. Keeping Sarfaraz out of Tests is similar to keeping Jaiswal out in ODIs or keeping Rinku or Abhishek out in T20s.

No long rope for Sarfaraz Khan

Long ropes are only reserved for tatoo artists like KL Rahul

Long rope ? usko koi rope hi nahi mila. Sirf ek chota sa dhaaga.

 

[Lord]

KL's 68 booked him place in BGT. Sarfaraz 221 is useless 

[Texan]

Guy who scored 3 x 50s in his first 5 innings gets dropped to accommodate another guy who has played 50+ Tests and still cannot even average 35. 

[Strangering]

His 19 years old brother, Musheer Khan scored 181 in an inning in Duleep trophy recently. 

 

 

[tapandrun]

Sarfaraz not in Test side, Jaiswal not in ODis and Abhishek not in T20is and no other opener in Bd t20 series --- What are selectors and TM doing.

Recycling Pant,sanju and Kishan in t20s

 

Its clear they do not want to challenge position of certain players like KL, GIll and Pant

 

Sarfaraz should play both home and away test to either gauge his batting in SENA or if there are any weak areas then to rectify them, else he will be like Ashawin who was not given proper chances to develop as a spinner in SENA countries and now with this situation team has to carry him to SENA countries bt they can not play him

We have to make him face bouncers and quick bowling in the nets somehow, even if with the aid of machines or throw downs for the Aus tour. It's long enough that we will need backups.
