What matters is how  much work you put in to iron out your weakness ? Just talent won't take you far. Secondly  earlier it took almost 2-3 seasons to detect weakness in a batter's game which today gets exposed within a series or even before a series (if playing in IPL)  due to technology .

Shaw's attitude and lack of full focus might be the BIG reason he ,may not become what he can . We can make out by his fitness , attitude towards coaches , slow improvement in countering weakness. Even Sarfraz's Pot belly now ( Duleep trophy) does  not look good for 24 year old .

In that sesnse , i would rather bet on Jaiswal  though he might have less talent. 

 

 

By that logic, we should drop our pot bellied captain first.

Bounce isnt his only weakness. Also struggles v swing and leggies, though not to that extent.

 

He's not even Raina, let alone Waugh

 Raina literally had fear for short ball. Not able to play and fearing are two different things. I have not seen Iyer a lot but what ever I have seen , I have not seen him look worse than raina.

He is not 24  and also on last leg. Who knows after  2023

no he wasn't scared. Infact used to hit them in his own way.

 

 

OTOH, Iyer literally dances v short balls.

Most of the shots in video were hoicks which Raina was always good.later in his career Raina was literally being bounced by even bowlers like Thissara Perrra .You can always get by without playing hook shot in white ball cricket. Iyer also can adapt a method which works for him.

Sarfaraz khan has amassed a lot of runs in domestic cricket and just deserve a chance purely on that level..however..To the naked eye..

Patidar looks more authoratative player against the pace..and seems may do well in higher level cricket..

You can't even hoick/pull if you are scared.Have to get in some position.

 

Forget hook, Iyer doesnt even pull. All he does is back away and try to hit over offside

[cricketfan28]

whoever does 360 should be given a chance.

[tweaker]

He needs to be in our ODI setup soon.

Test set up, not ODI. We need a good test batsman in the middle after Rahane, Pujara fading and Vihari not oozing confidence. He is a great candidate for #5. Give him a debut at home this season against Australia.

Really good innings by Sarfraz today.

 

But Saurashtra's bowling did not have anyone bowling above 132 k.

 

Need to see him against pace and bounce, like the ROI attack had. 

[Vk1]

have a feeling that Sehwag 2.0 is coming.. imagine Pant & Sarfraz batting together.. that's bazball cricket that will make dravid cry in bathroom

[vvvslaxman]

Sarfraz needs an extended run in Tests.  Gill, Sarfraz, Pant should form the middle order. Shaw missed the bus. I think Jaiswal should be the first guy they should consider. 

[vvvslaxman]

Patidar is definitely a short form candidate. He has very good range of strokes.

Why has Shaw missed the bus ?

 

Scores on more cases than not.

I mean he is not even clearing the fitness test at this point.  He has to focus on those things Even Sarfraz has to do that.

I reckon so too.  Patidar might be another SKY for us in LOIs...  But his FC bullying & then performance vs NZ A can't be ignored.  I think both him & Sarfraz should be given a shot in BD test tour.
