Travis Head : An all format great?

[Lord]

MOTM in semis, finals here and in WTC Finals

 

Clutch as they come

[CG]

Hack.

[maniac]

good player but more of a Damien Martyn, Mike Hussey level than a Steve Waugh; Ponting level 

[cricketfan28]

he got lucky today. Should have gone out early.

[Suhaan]

Few years ago thought he was very limited batsman

Where did his short ball problem go?

When did the turnaround happen?

Head is a lucky mofo.The way he bats inside the line like tailender he can't be compared to Martyn or Hussey.Today also he was extremely lucky to not get bowled . Ironically he will struggle most in Australia with pace and bounce

We tend to struggle against novelty factor,Head wasn't been up against us much

Still with so much technology at service and support staff there we should have figured out his weakness

We are so orthodox or dihati in this aspect 

Even Bangladesh would have done better in chalking out plans for each of opposition players

This was one of the weakest Aus side and we let them go with the WC trophy without fuss

Humiliating

Did we even bowl any of those to him?

[Texan]

I will take a gun player like Head any day over a mental midget player like Kohli

[Andy]

Looks like a proper tailender against channel balls. Fakhr Zaman category.

Those were sitting up nicely on this slow pitch

Indian TM still thinks we can't play pace and bounce,lol

We infact do well in those and that brings our pacers too in the picture

Coming on to Head,well he's been assigned a job to go after bowling right from the start leaving opposition stunned much like Jayasuriya and Gilchrist who did it long ago

We should have studied him before,but overconfidence on our part also did it

It was there in their body language before the match without realising it is Australia who raise their game several notches above in KOs

In modern game, big games decide the legacy more than overall performances. Bit like Stokes.

we let any nobody to become superstar. head was nowhere near a quality batsmen and still brutalized our spinners. we have massive lack of talent in spinning dept. also our batsmen were not courageous and  meek in crunch situations. england won a wc just like that by brutilzing the opponents..

[vvvslaxman]

An inform player making use of his form very well.  Let us not forget it took a while for him to get to this stage. He was not this good some time back.

The nightmare of Indian cricket team in 2023.

This guy has also played one of the all time great knock in Ashes too at home.

Not bad stats wise too if not great.

Head can also be a reporter's delight for use in puns.

 

I can see tomorrow's headlines on the lines of...

 

"Indian cricketers played like headless chickens, while Aussies kept their Head!"

He would have smashed them on this slow pitch

[Gollum]

Tbh he's lucky Ashwin didn't play both those games. Especially that WTC F, no way would Ash have allowed him to score run a ball 170, no *ing way.
